It's not tha long of a contract and everyone is getting blown out salaries this time. I was just thinking how he crashed when he got to the nba yet has come back and made a niche. I knew many people who thought he'd never make it. Good for him. Clearly I chose the wrong career.
Watched jj a lot in Orlando, he can score but who ever he defends will score more.
Zang is right, it is a one year deal, no real risk, and everyone is capping out. I would be more concerned about your young guy being pussies and always on the dl
Celtics still missing a piece or two but they are completely set up for a few years with all their draft picks. Lot's of questions about IT4's size but I'd be more concerned about his hip. I do think the Cavs have a year or two before they LBJ really needs a lot more help. As I said in another post, I'm not sure Carmelo really helps them if they lose Love.
East: Cavs and Celtics
West: Warriors, Spurs, Houston....OKC and Minn are bubbling. Both would be better off in the east.
JJ reddick is not the seniority you want. IMO he has little cred although he has done 'good enough' after a slow NBA start. If they could add one legit star and then maybe someone from the spurs (while they begin to crumble) or Ws (as it's only a matter of time before they break up) that would put them at the top of the east.
Of course some burnt toast would also put a team at the top of the east.

Ben Simmons 3rd rookie in history to reach 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 500 assists
NEW YORK -- Philadelphia 76erspoint guard Ben Simmons recorded his eighth triple-double on Thursday night in a win over the New York Knicks, the second-highest total for a rookie in NBA history.
With 13 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists against the Knicks, Simmons broke a tie with Hall of Famer Magic Johnson, who had seven triple-doubles as a rookie. Oscar Robertson holds the NBA record with 26 triple-doubles in his rookie season.
Simmons also surpassed 500 total assists for the season in the Sixers' 118-110 win over the Knicks. Simmons, Johnson and Robertson are the only players to have at least 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists in their rookie seasons.
"It's surreal knowing that the game's been played for a long time and so many greats have been through," Simmons said. "I've set a record with Magic and Oscar Robertson, which is surreal to me

Sixers still have cap space.
I'm worried about Embiid's knee.
I'd like to say that I have no concerns about Simmons' foot, but a similar injury kept Embiid it for two seasons.
No summer league for either one this year.
Not worried about the money per say, just seems like the Sixers are overpaying.
