Let’s see, Sixers got better, Orlando got better, the Kicks should be better, the Clippers got worse, Golden State probably got worse. . .

The East could be tough this year.

Well, George to the Sixers is done: 4 years $212 million. Two of their new big three are very brittle though. Let’s see how it goes.

For those of you thinking what to do if iHart does not return, this article, which lists and ranks free agent centers, is useful. iHart is number one, followed by Claxton, who already signed for four years/$100M. Everyone else is described as worth less than an MLE. The person at the top of the remaining list is Paul Reed from the 76ers. Goga is farther down the list but considered better than Sims. There are actually fifty players on the list, with the last one being Taj Gibson. So there are options, just none of them very good. I liked the stats posted above for Goga, but Reed might be ok too.

Even though he looked bad in the playoffs, I think Sims steps up big time next season.

Jericho Sims is a terrible basketball player

They’re probably trying to bring Mitch home.

That was the reason I thought we might be interested in Ingram before we traded for Bridges. There was talk about trading Ingram and talk about trading Mitch.

Did the Pels have the same issue with retaining Valencunis?

They’re probably trying to bring Mitch home.

The thing with Lin was that the Knicks weren’t capped in their ability to resign him because they had won their arbitration case to “match anything up to one billion dollars”. With Hartenstein, the front office probably would match any offer if they were allowed to. It’s kind of silly that they can’t. Seems antithetical to the league’s goal of having teams retain the players they develop.

The Pellies aren’t a risk for iHart, are they?

If you are I-Hart, this is your one chance to cash in before the Achilles injury permanently limits your playing ability. Lin is a good comp, but I-Hart has even more team and coach support. If he leaves, he has to build goodwill with his new team all over again.
