This was extremely fun, but I would’ve liked to first have seen the list of each unprotected players for each team. Also, I would’ve liked for you guys to keep track of the cap space. Especially, given that it is only 65% of the total cap for the upcoming season.
(1/2) I think the NBA should add 4 teams in one shot . One in Canada , one in Mexico , Seattle and Las Vegas . With the Play-in tournament I would leave the playoffs as is . Second I would create a European league for any G-league players , Older NBA Vets , and Any young NBA players not getting playing time . We can create a loan system for the young players that need time .
This is what they are projecting b/c Yak is older but what they don't realize that Yak is what is needed for the BBQ core. Maybe they think Ochai on a cheaper contract & younger than Yak will make him protected but that don't makes sense since if Ochai don't produce he could be packaged by the TD b/c he will be an RFA next season. Yak is Raps defensive anchor & Chomche Raps projected young C is not ready to make that leap to take Yak's position. The C spot is the hardest to fill in the NBA & Yak is a solid & valuable player.
These guys know nothing about the Pacers lol. Walker has more value by himself, you're right. 8th pick last year who's shown playmaking ability and improved shooting? Nah
@@nycedyme4 The chance of the Pacers making a trade for a pretty big contract in Brooks, even though it's decreasing, while Turner has to be resigned next summer as an UFA... yeah, that's not happenning. I'd bet Indy would be willing to trade Obi and either Mathurin or Jackson (depending on whom comes back) for an expiring contract and a nice good player on a rookie contract, so the Pacers create a little more extra salary space to throw Turner's way this summer. The fact that they didnt even mention Turner and his upcoming UFA while talking about the Pacers should tell you ALL you need to know. It has nothing to do with us beying fans.
Really enjoyed this pod. Next pod could you explain why an expansion team doesn't get full salary cap in it's first season? That seems counter productive to helping that team compete on an equal basis.
He’s been the best thing that has came out the trade so far. If he becomes a reliable shooter and/or slasher, He’s going to be in starting lineup for the next 5+ years because he’s already a really solid defender capable of guarding multiple positions.
who are the 8 the Jazz protected that Collin Sexton was available? - I can see Cody Williams, Lauri, Kessler, Keyonte, Hendricks, and Clarkson (with the nicer contract for trades) but that's only 6 before we get to longer shots like Flip, Collier, or Sensabaugh
I would really hope, as a Thunder fan, that we would give up Kenrich Williams and keep all our young guys that we left on the board. Jay Will is such an underrated role player
I like the resources that Bontemps acquired in this draft but I like the overall talent swing on Pelton's team. Technically on paper, Bontemps' team would be projected to be better (Dillon Brooks, CJ McCollum, Grant Williams, Jakob Poetl, Duncan Robinson) but considering how many of those players are more trade-able assets than long term fits for the team, I think those pick acquisitions will have to be doing work long term for that team's future. I like the potential for growth on Pelton's team way more. There is a young starting 5 on this team that I could see developing and becoming a good young team like Houston is in 2-3 more seasons. I like Jaylin Williams at the 5, Kyle Kuzma at the 4 (til traded) then Adem Bona, Harrison Barnes at the 3 (til traded) then Toumani Camara, Collin Sexton at the 2, and Miles McBride at the 1. I could see this team getting to the mid 20s in wins and Sexton and McBride potentially developing into a solid guard pairing with Sexton averaging something like 20 ppg and McBride around 16 ppg. I think people probably forgot that as a Rookie, JWill led the league in charges drawn and shot around 40% from 3 as OKC's starting Center for much of that season. I could see JWill being a solid 12 ppg Center with solid defensive numbers. Camara was actually pretty solid in Portland and I don't see why he wouldn't get better too. I don't think Kuzma would be around for more than a season or two but while he'd be there he would probably put up around 22-23 ppg as well.
I prefer tanking your team to build assets than developing your team to get knocked out in the play-in for the next 3-4 seasons. Build up your assets. Coach up the prospects. See how lucky you can get.
One thing I would have liked to see were a list of all available unprotected players. Beyond just the player's name and position, this list would include: current contract status, age and years pro. Yes, they would mention a team and show protected/unprotected players on that team. But we have no clue who else they could have chosen. IMO... 1. overall skill is important, but baring superstar status, skill would curtail itself to my team's intended play style. For example, if my intention was to create a very fast-paced team, my selections would not likely be a player who could not outrun a granny with a walker! A seven second offense does not mean my PG runs a 40 in 7 seconds! If I want my team to play a grit and grind type physical game, chances are I would not choose a 6'9", 220 lb Center! Simply put, what type of a team would I want to build (based on my coaches preferred coaching style)? Which players would best help to fill those roles. 2. Age is important. Potential is important. But even more important is attitude. A new team has enough problems. But a great club house atmosphere can help a team immensely. A great example is Jalen Suggs of the Magic. Two years ago, his teammates voted him as the team's MVP. Wait... what? His stats and even his play time did not warrant that. But when you dig further, you will discover that he was the most beloved player on the team. With his friendly and positive demeanor, he was the glue that held his team together and made the club house pleasant. 3. Back to age again... Younger players are usually a better option, UNLESS... you have a GREAT option for a very good veteran that could help lead the team. My draft may be 85% under 24, but there will be a couple 27+ and even a 30+ (or two) player. 4. Contract status. It's one thing if you are drafting trade bait, quite another if you are drafting a team fixture. He's a 'decent' player, with one year on his contract and he's getting $15M/yr? Not a chance. He's a decent player with 2 years, plus an additional 2 year team option, for a total of $12M over those 4 years? There is a very good chance I will look at him and say, "welcome to the team!"
As a Raptor fan I think this is why the raptors sucked for almost a decade. Frankly, unlike the NHL expansion draft that wants to make sure the expansion team is decent, the NBA draft basically sucks for the new fanbase
Should do this in 2 parts, 1 for just picks from available players and 1 for just trades. Could even do just 10 picks for both variations and it's still ok.
Boston signed the 2 highest contracts in NBA history over the last 2 years. They won the title this year, so their value is high. The NBA also signed a new TV deal, which increases every franchises value. So this team has the highest value that it's going to have right now, and is going to have to let it's players go (and lose that value) or pay into the luxury tax and become less profitable, or even go into the red. Selling high makes sense for Boston. Contracts are increasing massively, and a new TV deal is nice. But there is a limit to what owners can charge for ticket sales. There is a limit to what owners can charge for ticket sales in Memphis vs New York. The TV deal raises contracts, the amount of revenue generated isn't going to be enough to cover that for all teams. The Celtics owner realizes this and is selling before the bubble bursts. Small market teams are not going to be able to compete. This is NOT the time to expand the NBA. The NBA needs to figure out it's finances before they hit a brick wall.
That descending contract isn’t as valuable as you would think for an expansion team, they don’t have access to most of their cap for years and by the point they do and can compete McBride will be up for extension. Really the only way you can rationalize taking him for his contract would be if you are looking to trade him which an expansion franchise very well could
I would love to see a one protected player per team full NBA draft. Make it an super event and have all NBA players not protected redrafted. Who ever gets last pick in the first round gets first round next rookie draft rights and so on. After first year rookie draft goes back to lottery system.

As cool as it is to see toumani getting live there’s absolutely no way in hell that toumani camara would be left unprotected in an expansion draft for jabari walker who isn’t even in the lineup. Also im pretty sure it said that he was protected so he wasn’t supposed to be selected
@@kraw3026the first longterm injury of his entire career. before he went down he played in 95% of his games as a knick. the man who chose to go to the Knicks in free agency & took a paycut on his extension back then. an outlier? you are crazy and do not watch ball. back in the day when the team was trash yeah he was a ball stopper, bc who could he pass to with confidence? y'all haters want to remove him from the best team he's ever been on because of media personalities that just need something to talk about and can't bear to say anything good about the team. f outta here. iso scoring does not make him an outlier. being able to create his own shot does not make him an outlier. brunson will not be able to sustain helioball for an entire post season. the team NEEDS julius to be versatile and be able to throw different looks at their opponents. a $28 cap hit is a fuckn DEAL for what he brings to the table. but yeah, be snarky on the internet, casual....
not to mention, him & randle were teammates, and he's gone on the record multiple times this off season that he's willing to pair down his usage to help the team succeed. get the f outta NY.
Question for the experts: Say Jayson Tatum was eligible for an extension, and the numbers were in the range of 2-years $80 million. Would Tatum be allowed to accept a contract of 2-years $20 million, and save the team $60 million to sign or extend other players? Or is there a rule that goes against that and has a minimum amount they’re allowed to accept?
(2/2) We create a competition where the G-league and NBA euro league can face each other and the bottom 6 in the NBA will also be in the competition to create more revenue for them . Then the Main plan is to have the NBA euro league to have an under there own where we recruit euros best and also give scholarships to some of America’s best talent and broadcast the games and allow them to play in the Euro League arenas basically an NBA/Euro own OTE league .
Given the new restrictive CBA, if there isn't a single instance of a team accepting a bad contract in exchange for draft capital and waiving it for no penalty - I will be beyond disappointed.

Leaving Deuce McBride unprotected is hilarious. Kolek and Dadiet won’t even make the rotation
RIP black Adam. The man of steel has arrived!
The Las Vegas Debtors, presented by Fanduel
Bobby marks is official 🫡
Is this a Lock in for the next two teams Seattle, Las Vegas... Memphis should be coming to the Eastern Conference? right?
Yea that’s the closest team to the East that’s already on the West so yea the Grizzlies , right ?
Given the new restrictive CBA, if there isn't a single instance of a team accepting a bad contract in exchange for draft capital and waiving it for no penalty - I will be beyond disappointed.
JR BREMMER SHOUT OUT! CLEVELAND HEIGHTS STAND UP!
Are these the same rules for the WNBA as well?
I think Craig Porter Jr would be a great player for an expansion team.
If Vegas gets an NBA team I hope it’s called the Vegas Blackjacks
That name sucks
Naa Las Vegas spades or outlaws
Unawware of history? No way spades acceptable, used as racist pronoun in 60s.
@@scottrichards3587 spades is fire
Name of any type of weapon won't work, remember Wizards past name?
Knicks did not use the Amnesty rule on Allan Houston.
Gary Payton Shawn Kemp was one of my first NBA experiences.... bring back the SUPERSONICS!!
Bontemps seemed like he would be a good front office guy.
The Bontemps dork?! You okay buddy?
Lol. I waa 13 during that Iverson draft and even i knew back then, that the Raps had to give the #1 pick up and it was re-done.
I am extremely entertained, but I am not smart enough to understand this process. Just enjoying the ride.
While I also would turn down Purdle-for-Randle…I would certainly think about it far longer than Bobby did here
How to tell me you don't pay attention to Toronto without actually saying it. Poetl wouldn't be protected? Sell me another bridge.
Picking Johnny Furphy 1st is wild
“In South Bay” 😂😂
Dallas would never allow super Dwight or lay-up line maxi misalot to be unprotected lol not that anyone would take them lol
Bronny would 100% be protected because LeGM
Holy hell how many times does Windhorst have to reiterate the same thing. WE GET IT, it's all hypothetical
That was a hell of an attempt to sell Jakob Poetl for Julius Randle 🤣
you guys are crazy. blazers protecting KRIS MURRAY over anfernee. what man
Kuzma unprotected? He's the only player they have
article dropped yesterday 😂 Marks spoiled the picks
I don't think for mavs, omax will be protected but j.hardy will allowed to walk away
May we please do away with conference playoffs? The West is stacked enough as it is and it’s been like this for 30 yrs.
the mavs would not protect Omax over Hardy or Grimes. They messed up other teams protections like the raptors and blazers too.
first smart thing bonny ever said Deni would be first Portland should have never traded for him it will ruin him
Vegas , New Jersey , Seattle , Hawaii and maybe a few others should get a team
All terrible choices besides seattle
@@dearmas9068 New Jersey nets ? Las Vegas being a city that’s all about money and tourism which could translate into other things ? Seattle is a beautiful city but it’s always gloomy and rainy .. Hawaii another place that ppl could experience? Idk
@@BigSlim3600 las Vegas shouldn't exist, and the fact that its getting sports teams at all is horrible.
New Jersey had a team with a healthy supportive fanbase, and it moved across the river to Brooklyn. Theres no jeed to try it again. 3 teams in that small of an area doesn't make sense.
No one will ever want to play for a team thats out in haiwaii. Its too far. The traveling will be a nightmare. Players already complain about traveling out of Toronto.
@@dearmas9068 why shouldn’t it ?
@@BigSlim3600 because its in the middle a desert draining the environment in a 100 mile radius of all its resources and destroying the wildlife just so they can have 40 golf courses and pools in every hotel.
And its a serious conflict of interest to have the center of gambling host any professional sports teams.
Blazers would definitely protect Toumani over Walker (I say as a die hard blazers fan)
The Sonics are coming back in the next 2-3 years, remember this!
haha... Sorry to tell you this man but you're wrong. We stole your team and you wont get another one back! You bums!
For the Las Vegas team I was thinking maybe the Las Vegas Jokers
No. Were not Naming some team after some non-american player.
@@environment-s9xare you dumb it’s like the aces, a deck of cards has jokers 😂😂
This would’ve been more fun if anyone besides Bontemps was on
