NBA Season 2024-25

Shams Charania: Just In: Houston Rockets center Steven Adams has agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract extension to stay with the franchise, sources tell ESPN. After playing a key rotation and leadership role in the Rockets? playoff run, the new deal keeps a top center out of free agency.  via x.com

Different types of players, but Adams has similar games played/missed due to injuries over the last 3-4 seasons. Might be a comp for Zinger's next contract.

That's a hell of a lot of money for someone who played 13.7mpg and scoring 3.9pts per game.  If that's the standard, Zinger is worth at least double that.

3/39M for Steven Adams is a lot more than I expected. Wonder if that's a sign for FA and the center market. Hope I'm wrong but I think Kornet may actually get interest this offseason and get a decent offer from someone.

Rumours LAL was looking at S Adams for the MLE.

Durant has been essentially a net negative asset since leaving Golden State. He puts up great numbers, but it doesn't translate to winning.

I believe someone on X brought this up recently and Durant responded. Durant mentioned his stats and winning gold medals. I think he fails to recognize that he is just another player on a loaded Olympic team. On an NBA team, he is the #1 option, and that's when it doesn't translate to winning.

I absolutely wanted KD in the summer of free agency before he ultimately went to Golden State. Now, I wouldn't want to give up the assets to trade for him.

If KD goes to Minnesota, he won?t have to be the #1 option. If he?s trying to win, that would be a good place for him to go.

I don't understand what Minnesota is meant to give up to get Durant. Randle is a free agent.

Would be the main piece. Maybe Dillingham and another role player. A first round pick.

 

Ian Begley: One thing worth noting on potential Kevin Durant trades: there are important Suns voices who want to add a starting-caliber C this offseason. There are several pathways to do this but KD trade obviously gives PHX the clearest path to one.
