    Troy Murphy contract was good for NO.

    But the Sengun, Suggs, and earlier this summer Wagner extensions don't make any sense to me. They are being paid as though they are going to have massive improvements next year.

    Just have them prove it and then sign them next summer. Young player often improve but many years they don't. There is no advantage for the team to guarantee such huge deals now without at least a little bit of a discount.

    Completely agree.

    Portland will be in that position with Sharpe next summer. Unless he plays at an All-NBA level for the season - Blazers are much better off to wait until he finishes off his 4th season.

    ***EDIT*** All these deals are making Deni's contract look like an absolute steal.

    Simon’s’ deal isn’t so bad for a team to take on.

    Bunch of players getting large contracts. Grant's contract looking better by the day.

    Watch all 10 misses. Not pretty.



    Here's what the Knicks gave up to get Bridges:

    So I truly believe we will see Bronny join his dad on the floor for a historic evening for the league and then that band aid will be ripped off. You might not ever see him again. Either headed to g-league or to the end of the bench to become a traffic cone in team practices. Not taking anybody of importance spot, so it is what it is.

    I honestly have ZERO interest in a manufactured father son duo. The Griffeys were actually for real.
