I write and talk about the NBA, especially the salary cap, CBA and roster construction stuff. I do these things for Spotrac, NBA Front Office Show and The Basketball Bulletin. Any nonsense you see here is from me, not my employers.
The Clippers have waived Preston and Sallis. Transactions were to get Preston and Sallis to the San Diego Clippers for the G League season.

Charlotte may use the Collin Sexton TPE that they have to acquire Dillingham. Doing so would create a $9.7M TPE for Hield. This is likely the path the Hornets will take to create a larger TPE that expires later.
KeithSmithNBA@keithsmithnba.bsky.social · yesterdayThe Bulls will go over the salary cap by acquiring Buddy Hield for Rob Dillingham. Still $34.6M away from the luxury tax. The Hornets drop to $25.6M under the luxury tax by acquiring Dillingham for Hield. Charlotte created about a $2.7M TPE in the deal too.

There are scenarios where Golden State could have more than $60M in cap space, but that would involve more or less clearing the deck of all non-guaranteed salary for next season.
KeithSmithNBA@keithsmithnba.bsky.social · 2d agoStephen Curry’s extension comes in about $20M lower than his max. Warriors can still create $40-$50M in cap space in the summer of 2027.

Anyone else surprised The Big Bang Theory didn't make this list? I don't mind the top of the list very much. It's hard to rank things people are passionate about. But there are some odd choices further down the list. Some feel like they were more like specials vs shows. Just kind of a weird list.

There is no reason MLB can’t reseed after the Wild Card round. It’s dumb that the American League’s best teams will be playing in the ALDS. Seems like an easy fix.

Digger looks so weird that I think I have to see it.
If Peter Suder can show that his shooting as a senior at Miami (OH) was real, I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually snags a two-way contract from the Bulls. Good camp pickup by Chicago, who can use more shooting across their entire roster.

Hawks are taking on about $2.4M by acquiring Dorian Finney-Smith for Buddy Hield and Ryan Nembhard. Atlanta will be about $1.4M under the luxury tax with 15 players on standard contracts. Hornets will have 18 players on standard deals, necessitating three waivers.
As a self-aware wordy MFer, “1/16” is hilarious. Also, the people you are playing to with this nonsense are on the other site.

Really enjoyed this entire series with Chris Finch. The stuff about Joan Beringer stood out. The Wolves need him to be a 15-20 MPG rotation guy this season. I think Beringer is going to deliver. All the signs are there for a big sophomore season.

I worry about his shooting and overall offensive role, but Ausar Thompson is so good defensively that $31M AAV is probably fair. I think he'll return good value on that contract, especially so if there's any kind of offensive improvement.
