    damn...He would've been the perfect Joker back up. Ive always thought he was solid even when on shitty teams. much better back up than say what Horford could give you at his age. but Horford is better than nobody I guess

     

    [Stein] It seems unlikely that Denver would force Valanciunas to stay in the NBA if he is willing to forfeit his $10.4 million NBA salary for next season. Al Horford is likely to sign with Golden State.

     

    huge blow for Denver. deandre jordan run it back? lol 

    Yeah this is really shitty if it comes to fruition. Am/was so excited for Val and the potential for him and Jokic both on the floor at times in the playoffs. Fingers crossed it’s a negotiating tactic to get his 2nd year guaranteed.

    no shit. from Dawn Staley rumors to..."someone get Mike Brown on the phone, stat!"

    they should just make Brunson's dad the head coach and be done with it.

    Would have thought Malone would be better than Brown but I don’t even recall there being discussions between the 2 parties.

  3. Damn, that's all pretty fucked up on Lebron. It's one thing to want an extra $20M out the door when that's something like 20% of your career earnings. For him to be a billionaire and want to rob his team on the way out of 2% of his net worth, that's wild. More of an self-centered asshole than I thought.

    Ah, ztejas what you're saying makes sense. Make the Lakers pay so his next team is in a better situation.

    Zach Lowe thinks Bron is looking for a buyout. That would be some wild shit. 

    Didn't he just sign a 1 year deal with them? Wtf. Why wouldn't he just not sign the damn deal? I saw Cavs, Knicks, Mavs and Warriors as most likely landing spots should there a be a breakup by my buddy a Lakers fan.

    Lakers must not want Ayton (and I wouldn't blame them).  Can't think of another starter at C who is still available.

    Al Horford, Chris Boucher, Precious Achiuwa. Definitely getting into role player territory.

    Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Nuggets

    Jokic got a backup and an actual bench in one offseason

    Incredible. We have the ability to add one more, but pretty sure we’d have to go over the first apron which I think we’re gonna avoid so we don’t get the repeat offender. FO said they wanted perimeter d, shooting and big man depth. After one full day of FA: check, check and check!

    I picked an excellent fucking time to take over my buddy’s half season ticket for the Nuggs a few months ago.

    Reported as a straight up swap. Did not even have to throw in some basketballs or a 12 pack of Coors Banquet 

    Ya when I saw the trade I was sure there had to be more to it, but we don’t have tradeable picks aside from a 2032 2nd, if I’m not mistaken. Couldn’t believe straight swap. 
     

    So so so glad that Ben Ten Wallace understands the GD assignment.

    Nuggets front office is putting in work.  Just shows how bad Booth was in that role. I love it.

    Crazy how Booth had to give up 3 2nds to offload Reggie Jackson’s 1 year 5 mil deal when Reggie actually played and contributed, albeit not great. Booth really fucked us post ship, GD. Maybe we should thank Booth for his idiotic player option for Saric considering we were able to get Jonas for him haha.

    Nuggets!!!!!!!

    Uhhhhh yeah, sign Horford too. No brainer with the current roster construction. 

    He really would fit perfectly as he can play the 4 or 5 and well. Bonus if we can sign him for around what he avg the last 2 years with the Celtics, and we still have funds for another bench player.

  9. Here's hoping Chris Boucher or Precious Achiuwa for big depth for the Nuggs. Then we'd still have one last roster spot to go. With Tyus Jones getting scooped up by the Magic, not sure we can do much better than the player the Magic upgraded from, Cole Anthony, but will be interesting to see if the Nuggets can.

    LFG!! By my maths and piecing some details together, the Nuggets shaved a little over $17M a year for a similar scorer and better defender. It's the right move to trade away an unprotected 2032 FRP: when you have the best player in the world, you do what you can to win now.

    I haven't been able to find out details about Bruce Brown's contract, other than the fan's site is stating a minimum deal. If that's the case and should be taken literally, Bruce's 8 years of tenure in the league means we're paying him ~$3.5M. Having almost $14M to sign additional player(s) to get back to where we were with MPJ's contract is massive here (between 1st and 2nd aprons), and that's assuming we're unable to find someone to take on Nnaji's contract.

    Thank 5lb 9oz baby Tebus that the Nuggets FO gives a shit about winning.

    Everyone’s sleeping on Jerrick Gibson.  He had fumbling issues as a freshman. It happens.

    But if he fixes that…he’s gonna be a good one.

    Completely agree. Aside from fumblitis, has potential to me as a guy that can run between the tackles with quickness and a lower center of gravity.

  12. Definitely getting this version as well. All of the games I’ve played on my PS5 combined don’t equal what I put into CFB 25. There are so many gripes about sports video games, but I can’t think of any sports game in the past 15 years that doesn’t have its flaws.

    Excited for formation subs, dynasty enhancements, not having to hunt for a coach’s face that slightly resembles Sark in dynasty, ratings that are more indicative of the magnitude of impact an elite college player has, etc etc.

    Reading through Reddit for the new game, it sounds like they fixed many issues the community has been complaining about.

    I’d argue if you can’t have fun with CFB 25 as a hardcore CFB fan, you don’t like video games. It’s imperfect, but incredibly entertaining.

    I'll never understand why the NBA makes draft day trades that include picks so confusing. Silver just announced a trade that was public information when the portland pick was made. 

    Agreed. This seems like something relatively easy to fix. This stems from trades not being official on draft night, so it’s the Grizz drafting X, but it’s really Portland’s pick in a handshake agreement that hasn’t been finalized. Seems something Adam Silver could just wave a wand to fix.

  14. Wasn’t too excited about the KJ Edwards news, but if the reality is we’re prioritizing our funds more similar to an NFL salary cap, I’m all for it. I won’t say that our running game last year was perfect, but we were plenty effective at times with our running game with a 3 star in his second year and made the semis. No knock on Quintrevion, as he was a good evaluation and he looks like an NFL player. It makes sense to prioritize elite QB, oline, one or two play making WRs/TEs, pass rushers and run stoppers.

    Thanks for the head’s up to not open the link… now can someone please summarize what the hell the buses are for? Thanks.

    5 busses for no explicit school, hs or college, but the busses are to be used for “underserved high schools or burgeoning universities”. Was relatively vague about how a school comes to be able to use one of these busses, as I had been able to glean before ads aids.

    If you're sleeping on either VB or SB, then yes, you've slept on them for too long 

    Agreed, I watched some last year as well but didn’t put 2&2
