Josh Hart scoring himself an $81,000,000 contract extension is pretty impressive considering I don’t even think of him as a starter. I guess he must have been playing well without me noticing last season for the Knicks to lock him up for so long. All of these contracts this offseason have me wondering when the next collective bargaining agreement will be.

Knicks had to pay up. Hart was key down the stretch and in the playoffs. Gave the team the toughness they needed. Dude grabs more rebounds for a guy his size then I've ever seen. Helps that now the Villanova trio are together just missing Mikael bridges lol. Seriously as a knicks fan glad they locked him up for 4 years of his prime. By the end of this contract if he performs the same it will be a team friendly contract.

Agree, this is one tough dude that helps Knicks down the stretch, his defense and then he gives some offense too. Yeah, it seems that the Knicks is building up the Villanova team with the acquisition of Donte.

Randle though needs to step up man, now it seems that Jalen Brunson is their leader when supposedly Randle who previously had that title. But his game is slowly deteriorating in the last 2 years and I wouldn't be surprised if his name will be in the trading block next season if he continue to have a dismay performance this year.

Perhaps some of the players, but when it comes to Howard, I believe they should not have let him go.

During the 2021-2022 season, Howard's salary with the Lakers exceeded $2 million. After his contract with the Lakers ended, he joined the Taoyuan Leopards, a team in Taiwan, for a salary of $1 million per season. However, recent reports indicate that his salary has been reduced by 65%. The question arises: why would he opt to play overseas when he can earn a substantial income in the NBA?

As I see it, there is only one reason why a player might leave the NBA to play in other leagues is the lack of demand for such a player by NBA teams. In Howard's case, he had multiple tryouts with different teams last off-season, and it looks like no one wanted him, even for the minimum salary. Personally, I think otherwise, and it seems to me that Howard can still play a couple more seasons in the NBA for the veteran minimum.

Exactly, it's not like he turned down $2mil in the NBA to play for a mil overseas. Dude wants to keep playing professional ball and sometimes that means you have to bite the bullet and leave the league. No doubt he would have taken a spot in the NBA if a team guaranteed him playing time.

If I'm not mistaken, he could've played last season if the Warriors management did continue their plan on getting Dwight Howard from the free agency as they badly needed a big man that is well experienced already and at that time, I can tell that Howard is glad for that news and was ready to fly back but for some reasons, that same reports vanished a coupe of days before the trade deadline came.

It has always been the core roster management for any team that Lebron has played so far give or take. You get one guy who would be great at rebounding, you get one guy who would be great at defending, and bunch of shooters all around, including bench. That way Lebron can drive inside and either dunk or layup or just pass outside to an open shooter, or Lebron could just straight up shoot when the defense goes deep to defend the drive, he shoots very well at three point line on his later years, and the rebounder will get the rebounds whenever someone misses. The system is always built like this and they have what they need right now. I think they won't be the best team, but if they play right and do not get injured like they always do, they will be fine.

I think when he was with the Lakers, Lebron has a bunch of good 3 point shooters. And even after they have traded most of the championship rosters they have in 2019, they still keep that blue print. However, those outside shooters and defenders didn't click with them and so they have to rebuild everything starting last year with their new coach. And now it seems their focus is trying to get help on AD, that's why they got Hayes or even trying to give Christian Wood a try, if I read it correctly.

The Lakers had their best roster when they secured a championship. Regrettably, they had to disband that team and bring in new players for assistance. However, the new lineup hasn't been able to match the previous team's performance. During their championship run, Dwight Howard and Rondo proved to be valuable teammates, and their playoff experience played a crucial role in achieving that victory. While we can offer our observations and opinions, it's likely that the management saw specific changes that were necessary.

On the contrary, I haven't come across many changes within the Nuggets, who were the champions of the last NBA finals. This sets them apart from the LA Lakers and I have a feeing they are gonna make a repeat.

Lakers don't want that to happen but their players ask to much and there are others need to let go just to get more better roster. But everything goes down with them and they fell in bad position.

But still they are doing great when they accumulate some good players last season and now they can maximize their rosters with their newly great additions. Lakers this season is really great and they have big chance to win a championship.

Perhaps some of the players, but when it comes to Howard, I believe they should not have let him go.

During the 2021-2022 season, Howard's salary with the Lakers exceeded $2 million.

My honest answer for that one is because he only wanted to play in the Lakers at that time that is why he opted to play overseas so that he will not get to a team where he can make those moneys yet he cannot be a champion. It may sound that it does not make any sense but that is somehow reasonable if at his age, he only wanted to play in a team where chances to win a championship are above decent and with a LeBron James in the very sane roster, that makes the goal more possible.

On the other hand, I'm really curious on what would be the Denver Nuggets' next move after they let go of Bruce Brown, which I was really surprised of. I mean that guy was literally making huge impact on both ends of the floor. I don't know what they're thinking that's why I'm pretty curious about their next move.

IIRC it was Bruce that asked for that trade and that's typical when someone gets a ring then his value goes up, so that's probably where he is capitalized with and let the deal done.

Look, the Nuggets didn't care at all and just let the trade smoothly. As long as they've got Murray and Jokic, they're all good.

They've given Brucy his worth and that's a good salary after a championship. It's like a payment for him instead of squeezing him into the Nuggets team and making their salary cap go higher. That's the best move the Nuggets made, both parties will be happy while the Nuggets can still make other players go wild and be stars. I think they are going to focus on using Christian Braun this year. Still a Brown/Braun. (pun intended) Cheesy

Yup, it was a good deal for both parties. For Brown and for the Nuggets management. As for Christian, yeah that's the pronunciation of his surname and still gets another one for them.

But unlike the other teams that are very aggressive lately with their trades and rumors, the Nuggets seems to be chilled and not worried at all with all of these happenings.

All of these contracts this offseason have me wondering when the next collective bargaining agreement will be.

He probably won't start regularly and give the Knicks a double-double but his stats doesn't look bad to me,
PTS - 9.8
REB - 7.8
AST - 3.8
FG% - 52.9

I guess that $81M 4-year extension deal is already the new average contract for experienced but still relatively young players. If the "top" players contracts now are going over $50M a year then I guess it should be okay if the average also increase.

For a role player, that 4 year deal is not bad, knowing that there are always changes and you don't know what will be your fate with the team.

Like what you mentioned, the average of a top / star is ranging to $50M, so I guess that's better for
each role players to have that kind of deal, in terms of Josh Hart's performance last season, the Knicks
give him that decent minutes and he was able to convert it with decent stats.

And most likely it will be team that he will settle though. As far as I can remember, he had numerous teams in the past. Although he has been given good minutes playing, it as in the Knicks uniform that really blossom the career of Hart and perhaps he was just being rewarded by the team with that great contract for 4 years. But nevertheless, it's not a lock in, who knows, he could be traded. But the good thing is that he still has a team and it could really motivate him this season to improved as they got some players too.

That's my point. He's being classified as a role player and with that kind of deal, it's better than none, right?

He contributed last season, and he played well with Brunson and Randle, giving them aid both from defense and offense so
I think that's the possible reason why he got this contract, this kind of extensions secure his future as we really don't know
what will happen in the next following year/s.

Ohh lala. Jalen Brunson may have something to do about this deal. 20 million per year, I don't think it's that high considering what he showcased after being traded to the New York Knicks.
10/7/3 and he makes the team look good with his capability for offensive rebounds to give way for a second chance to score. I am guessing he just needs to find his home and this could be it with his best buddy Jalen. We all saw how happy Jalen Brunson was after he saw his Villanova teammate being traded to the team. It's the face of knowing he will not have any problem with chemistry with their newly recruited player Josh Hart.
We will see though if it will be worth the price, with so much happening in the Knicks team, they may be the keys to getting near the championship.

I believe that Howard is certainly a significant factor in the Lakers winning the championship during the pandemic.

In the playoffs against the Nuggets, whom they defeated in the WCF, Jokic's performance wasn't as remarkable as his stats during the NBA Finals against the Heat, where he averaged 30.2 PPG throughout the series. If we refer to this link, https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/nikola-jokic-stats-vs-lakers-2020-playoffs, his average was only 21.8 PPG.

Josh Hart scoring himself an $81,000,000 contract extension is pretty impressive considering I don’t even think of him as a starter. I guess he must have been playing well without me noticing last season for the Knicks to lock him up for so long. All of these contracts this offseason have me wondering when the next collective bargaining agreement will be.

He probably won't start regularly and give the Knicks a double-double but his stats doesn't look bad to me,
PTS - 9.8
REB - 7.8
AST - 3.8
FG% - 52.9

I guess that $81M 4-year extension deal is already the new average contract for experienced but still relatively young players. If the "top" players contracts now are going over $50M a year then I guess it should be okay if the average also increase.

For a role player, that 4 year deal is not bad, knowing that there are always changes and you don't know what will be your fate with the team.

Like what you mentioned, the average of a top / star is ranging to $50M, so I guess that's better for
each role players to have that kind of deal, in terms of Josh Hart's performance last season, the Knicks
give him that decent minutes and he was able to convert it with decent stats.

I agree, it's different now, if star players are getting a minimum of $100M in 4 years, then definitely a good role players could be ok at $50M or less just like what the contract of Josh Hart in New York right now.

He has a good to decent numbers as non starter, and sometimes there are games like he is a spark plug for the Knicks. He is a good defender as well and has a good 2/3 point shot percentage.

As a player who isn't a starter, that averages is quite good already if you will ask me.

IMO, Hart is an underrated player, and his impact when he got traded to the Knicks is huge. He's a good defender, and a good role player as well. I guess the normal salary for a role player that is playing really well is around that price. I remember again how Schroeder rejected that offer from the Lakers again a few years ago. Cheesy

Anyways, he is also playing with his friend Brunson, and that boosts his morale in playing.

This might be off-topic with this one, but if there is somebody that the Knicks must be trading, it must be Randle. I'm not a hater of him, but I just don't like how he plays. Use him, and get some good players out there. Focus on building a team around Brunson instead of him now that they got a 2nd all-star caliber player already. They also have lots of talent around Barrett, Quickley, and Hart. They don't need a Power Forward that shoots more than 15 shots per game with an awful defense as well. That's my opinion though.
