NBA 2025 NBA Offseason thread

From what I gather, seems like our boy has been getting paid by the Clippers through a fake company circumventing the cap.

Someone is going to be in a lot of trouble.

Take away the next 5 FRPs they have, tbh.

 

[NASpurs]

The "fraudulent tree-planting company" part cracks me up though. At least make your fake company sound real.

Shady shit. I hope Kawhi and Uncle Dennis keep racking up Ls for the rest of time.

In 2000 Joe Smith signed a one year $1.75 million contract with the Timberwolves, well under his value at the time. It was later found out that he had an under the table agreement to sign three cheap deals with the Timberwolves in order to acquire his bird rights. They had promised to sign him to a large extension afterwards, breaking the rules of the CBA.


The Timberwolves were docked four first round draft picks and the contract was voided.

This should be the baseline.
Anything less than 3 FRPs taken away sets a dangerous precedent.

Would be hilarious if the league voided nephews contract now that no one has cap space

 

[LeBowen]

Why did they even make it legal? Should've just paid him with no legal trace.

Apparently checks were going to Uncle Dennis' address.

Geez... one of the replies from the post: "Damn. League might have to take away all the Championships they’ve won with Kawhi."

 

[LeBowen]

90/4 extension for PJ Washington.
Seems fair, but he doesn't really fit the roster anymore.

 

[LeBowen]

Was racking my brain on how we can find Cutewizard... just dawned on me that we should comment on every Spurs-related YouTube video "Cutewizard, come to baselinebums.com" and she'll be here in an instant.

Spurs YT videos sorted by new and with worst possible AI generated thumbnails.
Not worth bothering with anything that has over a thousand views.

Sounds like a SpursTalk player thread title

The Fraudulent Tree-Planting Company of Kawhi Leonard

[LeBowen]

We need to get mr. Body and Dejounte here for some objectively good takes.

And the actual Baseline Bum.

He put me on ignore list after I told him his take that Kenny Atkinson had nothing to do with Cavs resurgence was awful, lmao.

How did I forget DAF? It’s crazy how I recognize these posters but can’t remember them outside of SpursTalk.

 

[timtonymanu]

It always cracked me up when he calls Nephew “puke” or “scumbag.”

 

[buttsR4rebounding]

Next time the Spurs play the Clips the Coyote should do a skit where he plants a fake tree. Then Pop comes in over the speakers “That’s not who we are…”. That would be hilarious.

 

[Neuromancer]

Cam Thomas finally picks up his QO. Lmao dude thought he was worth 40M a season

lmao one fake tree

OMax signs a two-way with the Grizzlies. Thought he would have been worth a shot for us, but going to Memphis will probably be the best chance he has to unlock his potential.

 

[spurraider21]

o-max looked like a really nice 3&d prospect when he came out, and i thought the mavs did very well in that draft by dumping bertans to move down just 2 spots and land Lively anyway, then take omax. seemed like really good supporting players for Luka. lively more than panned out. omax... not so much. valiant effort tho
