    Cam Thomas taking a 6 mil qualifying offer. I’m interested to see how things go next year for him and his archetype.

    Cam Thomas overpaid at $6 million. Jordan Clarkson got the minimum. Bradley Beal got $5 million. Sexton had to have a pick attached to his contract to get flipped for a washed up Nurkic.

    Teams don't value scorers with crappy defense. Being a 20+ppg scorers on a crappy lottery team doesn't mean much. It's like RB in the NFL - teams realized a decade ago outside of a couple stud players these guys are all interchangeable and not very relevant to winning.

    Will be interesting what Ant gets next summer - might not even be the full MLE.

    Does Brooklyn now have any cap space to make a Kuminga/Giddey/Grimes type of offer?

    yeah....the news blew up after I had made that post. At the time, it was just that youtube podcast, and the subsequent reports were 'sourced' from that video

    for instance, I made that post you quoted at 9:21 am. The ESPN article came out 3 hours later. And the ESPN article cited the podcaster as it's source

    sometimes it's a struggle to get to a bottom line at Spotrac, at least it is for me, but it looks like the Nets have, at most, about 16M in space. I doubt that would be enough for Giddey or Kuminga; not sure about Grimes
