And Eric Gordon goes to Philly on a vet-minimum deal. Hopefully he starts a string of vet-minimum signings!
Wolves fan commiserate here!

Paul George is just leaving...wow. Meanwhile the Clippers do not control any of their 1st or 2nd round picks through 2029 and currently have no incoming picks. They got Kevin Porter Jr though and that could actually be a pretty good signing.60WinTim wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 7:37 pm And Paul George and the Clippers have officially parted ways, with no sign-and-trade.

Assuming KCP to Orlando is not a sign-and-trade, and give the all-out release of CP3, it's refreshing to see some of these big salary slots evaporate for some of our competitors.
This will move them below one or both aprons, so I think they wind up having both the full MLE and Bi-Annual Exception.Monster wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 7:49 pmPaul George is just leaving...wow.

Yes it will be very costly to keep SloMo but I am under the assumption that the team is willing to spend to a point. Letting him walk will necessitate moving bigger core pieces sooner to improve the team. Otherwise he is replaced by a minimum signing which won't be very valuable on the trade market.Q-is-here wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 4:28 pmRight, but it comes at a cost in terms of the luxury tax bill, no? In addition, we need to move on from him. He helped us graduate to a legit playoff team, but his unwillingness and inability to shoot the 3 in an absolute killer in the playoffs. It mucks up our half court and none of the other stuff he does well makes up for the issues he creates with his inability to shoot.
We need other guys to step up and start being the adults in the room and help settle us down in half court sets. We still have Mommy and Daddy in Conley and Rudy, but wise old Uncle SloMo needs to go.
