NBA official 2022 transaction thread

Moses Brown is agreeing to a training camp invite with the Clippers.

Wait is that the guy Brad traded to the Thunder for Horford or something

We got him from the Thunder.  We traded him to Dallas in the Richardson trade.  He then got cut by the Mavericks, and signed with the Cavaliers.

We got him from the Thunder.  We traded him to Dallas in the Richardson trade.  He then got cut by the Mavericks, and signed with the Cavaliers.

I have viewed it as we got Moses Brown as part of the Horford-Kemba trade, essentially for a first round pick.  Then we traded him and got Josh Richardson, as Roy H says.  Trades with multiple parts can't be dissected exactly, but we more or less ended up with Horford and Richardson for Kemba and a Pick, while Moses Brown had a cup of coffee in Boston.

[Who]

A pair of contract extensions

(1) KCP 2yr $30mil from Denver
(2) Pat Connaughton 3yr $28.5mil for Bucks

Connaughton deal looks good. KCP is pricey but I do like his fit on that DEN team along with Bruce Brown. KCP was an under-rated pickup. Good defensive boost on the wing for DEN next season.

Knicks and Jazz engaged in Donovan Mitchell talks per Shams

Knicks and Jazz engaged in Donovan Mitchell talks per Shams

New York has a bunch of protected 1sts that it could offer (Detroit, Washington, Dallas) alongside their own.

I would assume Randle goes out?

Yeah, I suspect NY would like to keep Barrett over Randle.

Brunson and Mitchell on the same team?  They’re going to need a new coach, because that isn’t going to fit Thibs at all.

Yeah, that would be a really tiny back-court. Both 6'-6'1 IIRC.

I feel like it would have similar problems to Brunson & Doncic on D, except maybe more exaggerated from a lack of size

Austin Rivers joined Minnesota T'Wolves.

The Knicks are star hungry and if Mitchell is the only guy they can acquire they should go for it but very dubious fit next to Brunson. Teams literally going to have a mismatch at multiple positions to pick on at every possession. Having flashbacks to the Cs trying to cover IT and Kemba in prior playoffs. No idea how they would hide both on defense if they were literally playing together at the same time.

I'd love it. I love seeing the twin tower make come back on multiple teams. And would love to see if 2 guards can do something.

Tacko Fall..12 points, 15 boards & 3 blocks for Jazz other night

That he has been in the league three years, is playing Summer League, is playing against mostly GLeague talent level players and that's all he could put up, tells me, Tacko isn't a real NBA player.

Nicest guy in the world, but he should head to China where he could be MVP worthy and could make good bank.

Yes I agree, he should go overseas and he would make more money..ppl would pay to see him just cause he is very tall & not his skills

I’m pretty sure he has no desire to go somewhere just to be gawked at because he’s so tall.  Yes, it happens already, but he doesn’t want to invite it.
