NBA Off Season 2022

[Moranis]

We don't usually get to see things like this.  I found it informative and interesting so I shared.  It is a couple of minutes and the 2nd part is like a minute.

That was a good listen.  TP for the share.  We’ll see if Doc can get buy-in from Harden this year.

Big Houston OKC trade with 8 players. Favors to Houston.

Big Houston OKC trade with 8 players. Favors to Houston.

Details:

Adrian Wojnarowski: ESPN Sources: The Oklahoma City Thunder are trading Derrick Favors, Ty Jerome, Moe Harkless, Theo Maledon and a 2025 second-round pick via Atlanta to the Houston Rockets for David Nwaba, Sterling Brown, Trey Burke and Marquese Chriss.

Praying for a Favors buyout….

Adrian Wojnarowski: Cap-centric deal for both teams: Thunder gain two trade exceptions and drop about $10M under luxury tax. Rockets get a second-round pick for taking on $1M in salary. Favors will have value as a backup center, or elsewhere on a trade in marketplace too. – via Twitter wojespn

Nobody seems to want Harkless.

Yeah, I’d take Favors and Harkless.

I hope the Celts have gotten their DPE, because it would give the team more than the minimum to offer.

I don’t think the small difference between the DPE and the 10-year minimum will have an impact.  It’s about $300k, and Favors would only get to keep half, with the other half going to the Rockets. Harkless would get a little more from it, but not too much, barring a negotiated buyout.

The DPE is better used as a small trade exception, or after the trade deadline for a free agent during buyout season. Because it doesn’t pro-rate, it would then be a couple million above the minimum, and that could be more enticing.  For the right free agent, it could even give the Celtics a competitive starting point for a non-Bird offer the following offseason.

Sign me up for Favors.

Too bad Brad Stevens won't do us the favor of getting him and will roll with Luke Kornet with full confidence

Ty Jerome is getting waived by Houston.  I know that some on here liked him.

I have been wondering about this as it seems they would have done it already (gotten the DPE).  I wonder if they are holding off so that they have the option to trade him.  Trading him puts more money in play but I wonder how realistic it is for someone to take him on.  And could that team that  trades for him then apply for the DPE?

Interesting.  I don't know much about Jerome but doesn't seem to be much different than Brodric Thomas or Denzel Valentine.  Is he maybe a little better than these guys?  A little more NBA track record, does playing for OKC the last couple of seasons even count as NBA?

What I hope is this is the start of is more players being bought out or released.  More options for the Celtics.

From memory, the team that trades for him can't apply for the DPE.

I can't recall if a player can be traded once a team receives the DPE for him.  I believe that he can be.

I am a fan, and would rather he be in camp than Brodric Thomas and Denzel Valentine, but now that Rob is hurt I have higher priorities.

If the Celtics are granted a DPE for Gallo, then they would lose it if he is traded or released.  However, if they’ve already used it and then he’s traded/released, there are no consequences.

Another team cannot trade for Gallo and get a DPE for him.

As for the delay, I’m guessing they wouldn’t have applied for it before this week, since reportedly he had his surgery just last Thursday.
