ah yes, the lakers fanbase is the only one that doesn't overrate their young talent. not one bit.
Lebron better be making those pies:
Someone needs to try and pull a fake Lebron like fake Klay Thompson at another Blaze location lol

The big issue is he's a restricted FA in an offseason where nobody is getting paid. Cappella can be upset all he wants (much like Smart in Boston) but the Rockets have zero reason to bid against themselves. He's free to go out and find a team to sign him to a 4 year/$100 million offer sheet, but he and his agent knows that ain't happening.

bro have I ever talked to you about Dwayne "The Next MJ" Bacon?
Boston fans heard Bil Simmons call Tatum "the next KD" once and ran with that narrative. Smh
BI's ceiling is more akin to Giannis, which has been stated here by me for several months now.
Every fan base overrates their young prospects and assets to an extent. Everyone thinks lottery picks carry this automatic value just by being lottery picks, ignoring that history will tell you more lottery picks end up being rotation players or busts than end up being all stars.
This makes sense for people that haven't followed a player for all of their playing career (HS, college, NBA).
I thought of that but the Kings have so many bigs already on their roster...then again it's the Kings.
But the Rockets aren't only bidding against themselves, they're bidding against the expected market for him next year. Offer him market value now and maybe he takes it. Lowball him and sure, he takes the qualifying offer and he's theirs either way for the next year but then he goes into next offseason feeling slighted and with a chance to bolt as a UFA with no return.
I was joking but some team will do just to fuck with the Rockets. Max i'd give to Capela would be the Aaron Gordon deal of 84 for 4.
I'm surpised Mavs didn't go after Capela tbh. I know they got DJ but I just thought maybe Capela would fit more, maybe if he takes a QO they'll go after him next year.
I'm assuming they want the cap space for the next free agency?
Doesn't Capela want 25mil a year?
Mavs got Jordan for less than that didn't they?
Mavs were smart and basically gave DJ a 23 million dollar tryout. If he performs well i'm sure they'll max him out for 4 years or close to it.
Seems likely, yea.
1 year 23/24 million.
Agreed it was a smart move. Only way I see Cuban keeping DJ though is if he gets paid less in the future. Can't see anything like what Steven Adams got for DJ especially with him being 30 next season.
Damn, great video.
Tatum is sooooo good. And hopefully Embiid stays healthy man, dude is crazy talented. Bamba needs to fill out more but that wing span, geez.
Wish they showed Fultz shooting more, like from a better angle (I know it was on purpose but still).
Semi is putting in work, I love it.
Tatum vs Embiid was hype.
They didn't show Fultz's shot lmaoooooooo. Are they going to a have a grand unveiling of it or what? Pretty strange that they're hiding it like this.
at least philly fans weren't in here calling him trash for picking another team over theirs :)
This is getting funnier every day
Embiid talks so much trash lol
Also I'm not sure if I should be hyped or scared they didn't show Markelle's jumper. Looks like the kid is putting in work tho, which is good to see. His handle and finishing at the rim was nice.
No they didn't.
No it hasn't.
Not everyone has your goldfish memory my man. We remember stuff.
Us Celtics fans all agree that Tatum is going to be the next KD and we also would not trade him straight up for Kawhi not involving external factors like contracts and external issues.
I remember when the Celtics announcers said on opening night that Tatum would be an All-Star in 2018.
There's only like one Sixers fan here lol. Sixers fans were most certainly bitter on other sites.
Pretty sure they were
Just because they have fewer fans doesn't mean people didn't say it
Oh and he didn't do a three part documentary series blue balling Philly around
Your obsession with the Lakers is honestly impressive
Jarate is a Sixers fan, not a Philly fan. He didn't even support the Eagles in the Superbowl. Some might assume he's a bandwagoner...
Wait Lakers fans are saying PG "blue-balled" them?
Spoken like a purveyor of friend zone rhetoric
