The one thing about the Spurs that might make it a tough decision is the fact that he won't have to pay state income tax in Texas. That makes the salaries a lot closer iirc. He'd still make the most staying in LA, but SA isn't as far off because of the tax

NBA players have to pay state income tax in any state they play. So if he comes here for a game, he pays that games earnings state tax. So he is saving 41 games worth of state tax, but it's not as big as people make it out to be.

I'd bet an entire cow that he's staying, Blake is gone and Deandre is traded for Melo.

The "jock tax."

Don't forget the other teams in Texas and Florida. It's more like 50 games.
 
Either Boston likes someone they know they could get at 3 or they're just basically trying to cede the next few years to LeBron then be all in when he finally winds it down...

Boston is trying to make a play to add George and Jimmy Butler to their team without giving up any of their key contributors.

Jason Lloyd reported at the trade deadline that Griff at one point was convinced they were going to get George and Butler without giving up IT. This seems like more of the same, and if they can get the 3 this year and a future Philly first, they now have a huge draft asset for each respective deal.
 
I can't think of a better fit with Simmons and Embiid than Fultz. Just wow - if those guys can stay healthy (a big if) and develop as projected, they will be a force much like the Thunder and the Warriors were.
 
Don't like Fultz. Think Philly made a mistake.. he isn;t the best player in this draft.
Great move by the Celtics actually.
 
Celtics getting Butler and Hayward/ George would be huge.

But the bigger thing for me is the Sixers getting Fultz. Fultz-Simmons-Embiid-Saric is a hell of a core moving forward. If they can stay healthy, five years from now, Sixers will be kings of the East.

I'm actually incredibly salty that the Knicks didn't ever have the balls to do what the Sixers did and actually bottom out in a meaningful way. That franchise will be set for years to come

Condolences. At least you have old man Phil Jackson force feeding an antiquated offense onto a roster full of trash.

You're too good of a poster to deserve this.
