S&T players minimum have to be 3 years. Can be 4.
This 2/25 for Kyle is what he would get in Free agency.
These are not to be conflated.
If Miami or Philly or Lakers S&T Lowry it’d be for 3 yrs min…
Media is conflating the two. There two very different on-ramps.

Honestly I don’t see Lowry being the guy to elevate this team. The grainy truth here is that, barring cooperation from the likes of Schroder, Gasol, Harrell et al we’re stuck with this roster for the most part. Need to hit some vet minimum gold, 2 way gold and maybe even draft gold. Any/all of the above is just as likely as finding a perfect S&T scenario.
3 years and what if Lowry’s decline this season wasn’t just the result of being shut down because the playoffs were playoffs were out of reach? Like magicman said: Nash 2.0.

The mid-range shot may have become a lost art over the years…
But players like Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Kawhi Leonard and DeMar DeRozan are sure keeping it alive, much to Jamal Crawford's liking 💯 pic.twitter.com/oqxcUmqQO4

This is what always happens in the playoffs. The physicality ramps up, the legs are tired from the grind of the season and the three’s don’t fall. Could be pressure on a guy who canned a high % in the regular season but now the lights are a little brighter, stakes a lot higher and that shot drops off a cliff.
Just wait until analytics tells us that, in boxing, you should only throw haymakers at 33 degree angle in order to maximize KO potential. Some of this is getting to levels of absurdity only media juggernauts can appreciate. The great ones understand the value of short term gains in the face of waiting for the wonder shot to land/fall through the net.

Yup. Watching this Clipps/Suns series with my nephew (the family disappointment) and talking about how much the Clipps are missing Kawhi’s mid-range game when the 3’s aren’t dropping. They switched up last night and pounded the paint for 58 points tho..
-
“nephew (the family disappointment) ” lol, there’s hope man!
Have to admit I’m pulling for both Zubac and Boogie, I have a soft spot for those two big lugs and you won’t see me kicking dirt if they win a ring or at least make the NBA Finals. Gotta admit, the Clips showing a lot more grit than last season. Ty Lue making his coin, man.

It’s really the long two that is the shot teams shouldn’t take, 17 feet to the 3-point line. Solid 10-15 foor midrange shots are gold for players like Chris Paul, Paul George, LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard as they were for Kobe Bryant and lots of stars from earlier eras.

Antwan Jamison won’t make the HOF and he scored over 20,000 pts mostly from mid-range. Same with Tom Chambers…they shouldn’t be forgotten because it’s not in vogue.
-
Funny thing is Chambers was the best in-game dunker in the 80s not Jordan…His mid-range for a PF was similar to LaMarcus Aldridge efficiency…He’s also one of the (5) Power Forwards to make over 200+ 3pt shots prior to the 1994-1995 season. He should be in the HOF but it’s a popularity contest more than a historical imprint. Sad.

That’s a team that can do some damage. With a lot of top tier guys sitting out the Olympics feel a little more competitive this summer from a hoops standpoint. Simone Biles though? Dominating.

I don’t see why Portland wouldn’t wait for at least a big chunk of the season to go through, see what they can do to augment the line up and give Billups a shot to make it all work well. Same thing for Myles Turner, IMO, these teams are not free agent destinations so guys who make an impact and are under contract for any length of time are precious commodities to them. Both teams just got new coaches, both teams have some ancilliary pieces that could re-sign or move on thus giving them a chance to tweak the roster with high level talent dudes under contract through next season and beyond (Myles could be a trade deadline topic, he’s only got one year left after this one on his deal).
Feels like a lot of this “news” is just the early onset of the dog days in markets where no playoffs are happening prior to the Summer games.

Flagrant One?!😂 The only thing flagrant was that dance! Everyone was mad at PBev but the real issue is the #NBA game rewarding flops and running into defenders. CP almost hurt himself trying to draw a damn foul. Just play basketball! https://t.co/AjZARwQnkm

CP3 jumps sideways into Beverley and pays the price…he deserved to be mocked. Kinda noticing as we get deeper into the playoffs that the refs aren’t calling as many fouls when these dudes are flopping on their 3pt attempts..which is a good thing.

Jusuf Nurkic says he’s leaving Portland if Damian Lillard leaves
"As far as I know, the man stays there, but if he goes, then I leave Portland as well. My opinion is that it would be stupid to let such a loyal man as Lillard go."

Hammon impressed Portland officials and was generally liked among Blazers staffers, sources said. But when Portland reached out for intel from San Antonio figures, the background on Hammon was not nearly as complimentary pertaining to various aspects of day-to-day coaching responsibilities. That sentiment has been echoed by sources around the league. Blazers personnel then cast doubt that Hammon was the candidate to steer the ship through such delicate waters with Lillard.

Too funny Seannieboy! Oh and a good option for trading for Dame from Blazers point of view, is THT, 1st Rounders and if you give em Kuz and KCP, they ain’t old and only have a year or so after this next season. If Kuz and KCP show well, resing em or not. WIDE open furture to rebuild.
