NBA Draft

Too late at night for me. Does Andrej not know this?
This is ridiculous for many reasons, but you do realize that the Nets can't just take on $92 million in salary and give up draft picks in return right? They have $7.7 million in cap space, which means they have to salary match for the remaining $84.3 million.

Not to stereotype anyone here, but if you are a casual fan whose knowledge of the NBA is anchored to the last time the Bulls were any good, it's hard to overstate how comically complicated the rules around trades have become.
HOW do I get one of these?Well, if you have $100 that you don’t care about, want to pi$$ off your s/o, or just have a minor shoe addiction, you can interrupt your offseason boredom like this

Or George. Paul was 3rd in MVP voting the year prior to the trade. All-NBA, All-Defense.
Both guys were in their prime (both 28), Kawhi coming off a championship in Toronto.
First year, it looked like a decent gamble. They finished 2nd in the West behind LAL in the COVID year. They were a solid playoff team after that, with one or both of them missing significant time every year.
Was it an over-pay? Absolutely, especially in hindsight, but they swung for the fences. As a fan, I think you'd prefer that to languishing in mediocrity, while hoping one of your "upside" draft picks actually has some.
Definitely a chance that we get a response today. How we looking on the world making it past tonight? *Looks at world news* Not good, Bob, not good.
He is back!!!!
Not my circus, but kinda weird for Andrej to wait so long to announce his decision if indeed he informed the staff yesterday. I guess no announcement needed either way as long as the coaches know.

The good news is, hardly anyone has made announcements yet regarding their deadline decision.
Nothing from fears, momcilovic, etc

Perhaps Andrej informed staff that he'll be deciding today, and he's waiting for so-and-so to decide. It sure is hard to see a tangible benefit to him or the coaches of withholding a decision that's been made. He's far from alone, but most players don't have circumstances like his. Maybe by this time tomorrow we'll be dissecting an interesting story.

FWIW -- Shannon announcing his return came out at 8:16pm on the final day. And Hawkins came out at 10:26pm that same day.
