A dude who is already being considered lazy before even being drafted is never a no-brainer pick. don't know where you got lazy from. Entitled sure... that mindset was the one that made him say why the hell would I go to classes when I'm just here to get drafted? Its a little egotistical and concerning for those reasons. Not sure where the "lazy" comment comes from though in terms of predraft analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was responding to a claim that said he didn't put the work in pre-draft. He looked phenomenal in summer league his rookie year before injury, then post-injury won ROTY. This is one of the most polarizing players we've ever had. But you can't call him lazy when he was one of the most exciting limitless upside players in the league. The laziness came after that as season after season he didn't improve. There wasn't anything lazy about his first 1.5 seasons here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iladelphxx Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 MYSTERY TEAM!!! Here's what Windhorst reported on the Scoop: "WINDHORST: You can definitely see why teams would have interest in him, and why small-market teams wouldn't necessarily be able to sign a player like this, like the Wolves, and would have a lot of interest. Because how else are you going to sign a player like this with four years left on his contract? "[...] "WINDHORST: I don't mean to be evasive, I've just got to be careful with what I say. I know of at least one other team who is a small-market team, that has made an offer for him and has a lot of interest in him. It just hasn't gotten public yet."

This is one of those deals where I feel the pure joy of watching 4 years of Ben Simmon's career go down the drain never to come back while he sits at home, far outweighs the value of those 3 stiffs.

It was a not so funny joke. The Bobcats haven't existed in the NBA for quite a while now. And all of those players are retired.

HazletonEagle Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Charles Bassey and the Philadelphia 76ers continue to engage in a standoff over his contract. Bassey is seeking a multi-year contract with a two-year guarantee. Bassey had that level of offer had he gone undrafted. The 76ers have only been willing to guarantee the first year of a three-year deal. Philadelphia paid $2 million in cash to acquire the 53rd pick to select Bassey, who was a top-10 recruit in his high school class in 2018. During the lead up to the draft, Bassey's camp signaled he was looking for an NBA contract and not interested in signing a Two-Way deal. The Sixers gave Isaiah Joe, the 49th pick in the 2020 draft, a three-year, $4.2 million contract, of which the first two years and $2.42 million were guaranteed. Bassey, however, has been working out the Sixers' training facility in preparation of the coming season. Bassey has yet to formally sign the one-year, non-guaranteed required tender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 get ready for the Simmons/Wall swap John Wall and the Houston Rockets have begun to work together on a trade and he won't appear in any games with the team in the interim. Wall is entering his second season with the Rockets. Wall is entering his 12th NBA season and both he and the Rockets recognize each side is in different phases. There are no buyout plans on the two years and $91.7 million remaining on his contract. The plan is for Wall to remain present around the Rockets entering training camp.

I saw that and tried to think of another team looking to move a salary that big before the season. I couldn't think of one off the top of my head.
