I read that the Lakers and Celtics are in the fight for Thomas Bryant. with 56.1% efficiency he is a good option to be signed by either the Lakers or Celtics, but what made me laugh was the news that Zion Williamson even without having played games he will sign a renewal contract and the contract value is 221 million euros, but you have some conditions: he will have to get into one of the All - Nba teams or be defender of the year next season, if he doesn't make it meet these requirements then the amount he will receive until 2028 will be 185 million euros, the contract extension only comes into effect in 2023.

That's what you called incentives, sometimes it's not included in the contract but it's just a management prerogative to give bonuses on their achievement. It's a way to motivate players, just like in business, if you pass the quota, you will get an incentive to reward your hard work, it's not new actually as even in local sports it also exists.

It's not a poor work ethics, he is just unlucky that he got injured every season, if he can pass at least one season and get in the playoffs, I think he will show his true potential. Looking at his stats,  you can really tell that he belong to the list of NBA active superstars, especially for the big man.

As I am reading some articles on what some teams have been doing and who're players were on the free agent

And here are the Teams with a winner and loser decision in my opinion,

Boston Celtics I really think the right move for the Celtics is to cast out players that they think are not fitted for the team,

Danilo Gallinari - is from San Antonio Spurs and getting his way for the Boston Celtics

Malcolm Brogdon - is from Indiana Pacers and making his way for the Boston Celtics but the Pacers will take back Daniel Theis, Aaron Nesmith, Nik Stauskas, Malik Fitts, Juwan Morgan, and the 2023 first-round pick from Boston,

Atlanta Hawks

Kevin Huerter - Traded to Sacramento Kings was a bad decision for me and traded for a draft pick player that might as well be useful or not be useful for the future, but if the dub is useful the lease is it's not going to be this season,

Dejounte Murray - Getting him from the Spurs was a win for the Hawks he can be paired with Trae Young for Offensive or defensive because of his height and reach they can surely use Muray for those outcomes,

New Orleans Pelicans

Zion Williamson the truth is this is a win for Zion Williamson gaining 5 years rookie contract for the Pelicans, but if he stays healthy for the upcoming season then it is a win for the Pelicans,

Minnesota Timberwolves

Rudy Gobert gaining this player from Utah Jazz is a fit to the bill,

Karl-Anthony Towns - signing him 4 more years contract for the Timberwolves, and with Gobert on the boat this makes the Timberwolves a solid two-tower team,

Utah Jazz The Jazz have taken a whole new player from the Timberwolves,

Malik Beasley- From Timberwolves

Patrick Beverley- From Timberwolves

Walker Kessler- From Timberwolves

Leandro Bolmaro- From Timberwolves

Jarred Vanderbilt- From Timberwolves

Dallas Mavericks

Jalen Brunson - Losing Jalen Brunson was not the smart idea for the Mavericks and Brunson had gone to the New York Knicks, this is a win for Brunson and a loss for Mavericks,

I won’t consider this as a loss if the replacement ill be better. Actually there’s a news that Dallas is in negotiation for Kyrie Irving trade[1] and this will be a great replacement for Brunson since Kyrie can carry the game without relying to Luka. Brunson is very silent on there match against GSW which is the reason why they always lose during 2nd half because Luka is already tired. They need to open more space to make this Kyrie Irving successful so I think we might more players leaving Dallas.

If Dallas was planning a move like that, they could have pursued another talented player with baggage like John Wall. Anyway, what's done is done and they can only hope to get one that would really help Luka.

---

I just found out that Andre Drummond agreed to a 2-year, $6.6 million deal with the Bulls. Huge decline from his days at Detroit but a bit better compared to his contracts at Lakers and Sixers.

Another deal you might have missed as well was Devin Booker agreeing on a $224 million 4-year supermax contract. You think he deserves it?

The purposed is for a reliable point guard that can serve a substitute with Luka to give him some time. The chemistry is also can be work out if they will push to this trade but I just realized that Kyrie has an attitude problem which might be bad for Mavs if Luka don’t accept Kyrie.

Kyrie - Westbrook is worst that Kyrie - Luka because westbrook is much more downgrade by Durant with same attitude problem with Kyrie. This will gonna an insane trade if Lakers proceed to this. Even Lebron can blend with him.

We are going to find out once the season starts, both are earning a decent contract, so both are superstars, their chemistry is very important and I hope Gobert will learn to be a clutch player so he can help his young Minnesota team to succeed in the playoffs.

I guess it depends on who they will trade for Gobert.

Bunch of players will be sent to Jazz for Gorbert, I don't know I don't like this thread or I think Jazz gets the advantage here.

For one guy, that's too much in return IMO.

I really suggest to read the article that I provide because that’s the latest on this trade talk, The Article you provide is 5 days ago while Brunson just leave few days ago to start this trade talk humor. The article says that it will makes it a lot easier for the Mavs to work out a deal with the Nets since it wouldn't have to be a sign-and-trade. Dallas would simply have to match Irving's salary with some combination of players these players which is very possible when they really want to push this trade. We have different point of view on how we see Kyrie Irving so I will not gonna argue about your remarks about him.
