Jazz want all the big men
Daryl Morey would be a part time GM and full time clown for not matching this
Sixers should try to keep him
Will Hardy just wants to put out a Reed/Hendricks/Lauri/Collins/Kessler lineup, he’s not fooling me
That’s pretty reasonable for his production. I think we match that honestly
I will never forgive Daryl Morey if we don’t sign him
Morey should match it
now we know why sixers signed Harell
I mean… I’m mostly hoping this is front loaded too.
Have the sixers made any noticeable additions besides bev this off season? Or do they believe Nurse is the key
*One of the terms of the offer sheet provides a unique twist: The first season of the contract is fully guaranteed and the two following become guaranteed for $15.7 million if Reed’s team advances to* **conference semi-finals** *in the 2023-24 season, sources said.*
LMAAAAOOOOO Danny straight trolling the sixers
I swear to fucking god if we don’t match this
Match that shit. If they need cap space next summer it’s an easily movable contract.
Holy shit second two years become fully guaranteed if the team make the conference semis. Most savage contract term I’ve ever seen
Man I would love to see Bamba get heavy backup center minutes in Philly 😂
The word is out, nobody wants to play for Nurse.
Phi bench gonna be so depleted
Please don’t match it Philly, I want G-league legend Bball Paul
Ron Shade
The jazz have to have the tallest team in the league but somehow still have great shooters everywhere
I actually don’t know if Philly is gonna match that damn
Jazz have a crazy deep team
The Jazz front court is nice. Lauri at SF, Collins and Hendricks at PF and Kessler and now Reed at C.
Is Paul Reed even good? Some blog boys/ analytic bros were on his nuts pre draft and he became a meme. Everytime I’ve seen him play he’s been completely unimpressive.
What is Utah doing ?
this kind of offer sheet probably means that Reed wants out of Philly. Utah is interested enough in Reed to give him a one year look, and at the same time Ainge, or whomever in the Utah FO, is doing the agent a solid by giving a contract that Philly is unlikely to match. or if they do match, Reed gets his first real NBA money, so Reed gets something he wants either way
If you are a GM and you knew your team was tanking. Could you have an offer sheet say the first year is 300 mil a year if they make the playoffs to get a player off a good team?
y tho
This is an overpay by the Jazz, but they needed to overpay to pry him loose. With the guarantee triggers in the deal, think the chances are quite high the Sixers do not match Reed. That would cut into a significant portion of their potential cap space next season.
Reed gets more money upfront this season if the Sixers don’t match with Utah this season. Jazz are in a great spot—Reed’s contract will be plenty moveable in a trade and they aren’t likely to be on the hook for any future guarantees after this season. If the Jazz do make the WCSF shockingly and Reed is a contributor in them doing so than they’ll gladly have him around for next year even if the price is a little rich. Jazz front office playing chess.
Nurse’s gonna play Embiid 48 mins.
The jazz mess with us but when do the same with reeves
So they’ll match
Ron Shade is a cool name
Perhaps you’ve heard my name.. Ron Shade of Octagon Basketball
Hope the Sixers go over the tax and keep him.
