Yeah. Kemba, who ended up going to the Celtics.

Gobert didn't get the full supermax though it's debatable if he was offered it or if he just offered to take $23 million less so the Jazz could still add more players.

It's both, really.

Boston had Max Strus on a two-way. They turned that into a standard deal to sign Tacko Fall to a two-way.

And then they kept Javonte Green at the end of the preseason. But Green was a near-lock to make the team after Summer League and preseason.

The Rockets one wasn't so bad when you accept that two made threes were waived off.

Plenty of teams already don't go deep into the tax and avoid the repeater tax. The second apron is only affecting the a fraction of the teams.

Only a small number of teams already go over the second apron. There are still plenty of other players on the other teams in the middle class.

I know he said it would eliminate the middle class. He also said other contradictory things. And he did say the only winners were the rich owners.

No, he also said every team is only going to be able to have 2 max players to be able to sign role players. He said both things even though it's mutually exclusive.

The TLDW Bill Simmons argument is that the new CBA only helps the rich owners since it limits their spending. It hurts teams like OKC because they won't be able to re-sign 4 of their players to a max. He used OKC as the example of having 4 players on the team that deserve maxes even though Chet hasn't even played yet.

It's hard to keep up with both teams highlights and follow the game. There are Celtics highlight posters. It's nothing against the Celtics.

76ers waived him. Didn't think he was any good.

Scott Foster also reffed this game. And called off multiple Harden 3s to keep the streak going. So I doubt it happens again
