Would be curious if they move them anytime soon though - maybe closer to trade deadline. McGee’s contract seems to be a deal-breaker for many.
Who would’ve though that Dame would make a bigger fuss than Durant with his demands? Sheesh…
Forreal, dude is crushing it. Probably making a killing off those commissions!
Darn it, not surprised but oh well…
All depends on what they’re expecting out of the Lillard negotiations I suppose. Let me dream haha
Yeah… 2nd rounders and create a $7M TPE isn’t really a great return. But considering they were wanting a first for a sign and trade, I guess they had to accept whatever the market actually gave.
Wowowo, Nico is making some moves! Now if the Mavs can flip THJ + McGee for a center, the roster will be looking great.
Wow, huge pickup for the Mavs. Great defender and a wing, where we desperately needed more players
I’m surprised as well. I think it boils down to not many other teams with that much larger offers, so it sounded like fit was more important for him. Either way, I feel like that’s a great deal for the Clips.
I absolutely feel he’s worth more than that. Sucks to see him go as I thought he was a good fit but hopefully with a bigger role, he’ll shine
Wow, I know he’s a good defender and all but that’s a lot of money + years committed.
Wow, cheap deal and he definitely looked to be more in his element with them last year. Good signing.
Honestly, good for them. They shouldn’t just get nothing good in return for Dame
“Powell has agreed to a three-year, $12 million deal, sources said.”
… I mean I guess that’s not bad. I would’ve HIGHLY preferred the vet minimum though.
Reaves went from a two-way contract to a standard minimum contract in 2021 NBA training camp – and now less than two years later, cashes in on the maximum allowable salary from the Lakers.

Great question…
I imagine the Heat will have to give up some combination of Herro + either Duncan Robinson or Lowry + several of their first round picks. Not a great deal at all for the Blazers unless negotiations involve moving Nurkic who’s owed something like 54M over the next 3 years.
Lillard, Richardson, Butler, Adebayo, Nurkic would be interesting. But apart from that, no more depth on the bench with Vincent and Strus gone. The pickup of Thomas Bryant is fine and Kevin Love is just more a vet presence.
I agree… It really feels like that era of staying with one team for one’s entire career is over for so many players. I’ll always value championships like Dirk’s run in 2011 that much more because of it.
Dropping additional article in here for visibility! https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/37944717/thunder-agree-3-year-deal-euroleague-star-vasilije-micic
EuroLeague guard Vasilije Micić – one of Europe’s best and most accomplished players – has agreed on a three-year, $23.5 million deal to join the Oklahoma City Thunder, his representative Jason Ranne of Wasserman told ESPN on Saturday.
Micic, 29, brings an immense pedigree of success as a two-time EuroLeague champion and a league MVP with his playmaking and shooting. His arrival with the Thunder’s starry young guard core – including All-NBA guard Shai Gilgious-Alexander and Josh Giddey – promises to make for a dynamic rotation.
The Thunder have been working to bring Micic to the NBA since trading for his draft rights in 2020. Micic has long been regarded as one of the top players in the world not in the NBA, having led Turkish club Anadolu Efes to EuroLeague titles in 2021 and 2022 and Turkish league titles in 2019, 2021 and 2023.
Micic averaged 16.5 points and 4.6 assists last season with Efes, shooting 55% on 2s and 39% on 3s, and was named MVP of the Turkish finals.
The Thunder acquired Micic’s rights from Philadelphia in a December 2020 trade that sent Danny Green to the 76ers. He was originally selected with the 52nd pick by the 76ers in 2014 out of Serbian club Mega, where he teamed with Nikola Jokic.
I’d be down for Discord cuz it could let us have a place for discussion for the community here as well!
Honestly, they should just cut him. Who would willingly trade for this guy, even if you’re getting picks out of it??? This guy is a trash human being for what he did.
