The 2025 NBA Free Agency Thread

I was interested in his contract as a way to unload Grant.

But now as a FA? No. I don't see a good fit & he shouldn't get paid more than ~$8M/yr

 

If the Nuggets want one more push with Jokic how about MPJ for James Harden?

 

MPJ for Jerami Grant

 

Nurk is now a Jazz player...they traded Sexton for him and a second round pick. Nurk and Markenan might actually play well together.

 

There goes any Jabari trade hope

 

This may help set a realistic expectation with any negotiation with Sharpe. Something ~$20M/yr is the most I think he should get

 

Wouldn't mind if we were able to lock up Sharpe on a similar deal.

 

Agree, wrote the same about Shae in another thread

 

Yeah, there's basically 3 concurrent threads going on, wasn't sure where to put what, lol

 

Sharpe has outplayed him though...

 

has he really? Shae's 3 pt shot was awful last yr and his D was sub-par, I'd say they are fairly equal though they play different positions

Also, on a per yr basis it's pretty close to the 4/89 max we apparently offered Camara - hopefully this encourages him to take it

 

No...
Smith has been a more consistent player.
Sharpe has shown significantly more potential (ie - ability to take over a game), but he's also been significantly worse at times (especially defensively).

All in all -> Smith has shown to be a better player on the court to this point in their respective careers.

 

I love how some fans think Sharpe is the 2nd coming of whoever when in reality he has been a average to above average player who shows flashes of being a Star -- no more no less

 

Just a matter of who he's been playing with as far as I'm concerned. When he's been given a proper runway to showcase his abilities he's been a star. With Ant gone and Jrue being much more of a guy who sets his teammates up, Shaedon should finally show what he's got... that is if Jerami isn't ball stopping and taking away from the flow of our offense.
