    All fair points. I see this as a move to begin correcting their chemistry issues.

    Yeah, I think it mainly is just a difference in how we view Kemba vs Kyrie. Kyrie is an absolute nut case, but talent wise, he is...up there.

    It’s also very possible Kemba could show me something next year when he has an actual squad — but until I see it in that environment — I can’t give him appropriate credit.

    Now that I agree with — and like I *think* I said — I don’t hate the move... just not fully on board with it, as of yet. It’s a talent driven league so you obviously gotta take what you can get — just think a more passive point guard would’ve been a better fit — but Danny Ainge is smarter than me, so yknow, just thinking out loud.

    Smith is a clown! BUT, I'm sure this is about to get nuts.

    NBA salary cap jumps $7M, set at $109.14M
    6:18 PM PT
    • Associated Press
    NEW YORK -- The NBA set the salary cap for the 2019-20 season at $109.14 million, an increase of just more than $7 million from last season.

    The tax level will be $132,627,000, and the minimum salary, which is 90% of the cap, will be $98,226,000. All of those figures are virtually identical to what the league has been projecting for some time.

    All the new figures take effect Monday. Teams may begin negotiating with free agents at 6 p.m. ET Sunday, and the league's annual moratorium begins at 12:01 a.m. ET July 1 and continues through noon ET July 6. When the moratorium ends, new deals can be signed.

    The midlevel exception figures for 2019-20 are $9,258,000 for non-taxpayer teams, $5,718,000 for tax-paying teams and $4,767,000 for teams with salary-cap room.

    I have a sinking feeling that we end up with Kaminsky.

    Kings look like they’re going to sign Dedmon.

    I’d be fine with it as well. Would be interesting to see him with Stotts. Feels like he’s been dying for a stretch four for years

    I wish there was a way to get Jabari Parker on a prove it deal. I think he would be an interesting player here.

    Guys i fear Los Angeles is going to be power house. My guess Irving goes to the Lakers, KD and Kawhi goes to the Clippers

    I’ll be pissed if Curry and Kanter are on the Lakers next year.
