So the 76ers spent a ton of assets to bring in Tobias Harris and Jimmy Butler, with both slated to become Free Agents this summer.

They go to game 7 in the East Semis vs the Champion Raptors, and it goes down to the final shot.

Quote:

[Patrick] Sixers ownership changing verbiage on bringing back Butler and Harris. “Things evolve”.

It's looking like they aren't willing to give either player close to what they deserve.

I'd be livid if I were a 76ers fan...

Correction: I guess they are paying Harris and not Butler.

They are paying Harris 36mil / year for slightly above role player numbers.

They also picked up Al Horford for 4years /109m. Another overpay, but their defense should be ok if Embiid stays upright.

I think they'll miss Jimmy's PG skills when Ben Simmons gets stuffed in the playoffs next time.

I thought 25M was the max

?

30% of the cap. It gets higher each year. Some guys are approaching 50m now.

They should make the playoffs, but I'd be surprised if Durant plays at all next year. I hope he doesn't. Wish he hadn't come back this year...

Who are your picks for Most Improved Player?

Sabonis - A great player who is underutilized in my opinion.

Jaren Jackson - I just love his game, 2nd year players usually make a jump.

Jerami Grant - Spoonfed by Jokic, in an actual offensive system now.

Donovan Mitchell - More balanced approach could keep him fresher and more efficient.

Caris Levert - Durant out, plenty of opportunity.

Jaylen Brown OR Jayson Tatum OR Gordon Hayward - Ewing theory, all have potential.
