How the hell can they afford to just keep adding talent?  Must be nice.

Beal: $43M

 

Paul: $28.4M

Shamet: $9.5M

 

I don't get how the salary cap works, since the Clippers (for example) were nearly $50M over the cap last year

I get how they could take on his salary, just crazy how they were able to get another star, albeit one with a gigantic contract, despite not having any 1sts a few months after trading for Durant.

Marcus Smart traded to Memphis, Kristaps Porziņģis to Boston:

NBA is truly the best sport to make absolute bank as a completely mid-tier player. 

[Rex Buckingham]

Lol, Portland gave Jeremi Grant like $160M/5 and Dame requested a trade today. 

[Derwood]

$62 million a year for an often hurt big man? 

The NBA salary structure is wiiiiiild

[Irrelevant Dude]

Obviously no smoking gun here, and really nothing but a loose connection, but would it surprise anyone if the guy who has been a freakish athletic specimen since high school and still is at nearly 40 years old maybe had a little help?

Jru might retire any day now.  He’s all but done.

What are you basing this on? He was an all star last year and is owed $70 million+ over the next two years. He hasn’t seen a meaningful reduction in minutes played or games played over the past few years. Has he made mention of retiring (very possible that he has and I missed it)? Otherwise this post doesn’t make much sense to me.

He just averaged 32 mpg with a 59% TS at 33 years old. Did I miss some mysterious tweet or something?

[Old Style]

Do we have any picks left to trade?
