Originally posted by TheRodster21 View PostI actually disagree, the NBA seems to be trending towards small ball but less on height and more on skills and feel for the game, wings are the big commodity right now with teams looking for guys in the 6?7-6?9 range who can do it all. It?s all about pace and space now.
For a while now, while it's still about pace and space, NBA teams have realized that you can still do pace and space with bigger teams. Boston is big, Philly is big, Milwaukee is big, Houston is big, Dallas traded away Brunson so they got bigger, OKC has been trying to build size for a while now with Poku, Giddey, and now Chet, and next season will be an arms race for Victor. Also I think the Spurs and Hornets are trying to get into the size race. Suns are trying out Point Booker more with CP3 possibly retiring next season. The Ball bros, Ben Simmons, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden have been "big pointguards" so far. Steph is an anomaly. Teams aren't just looking for 6'7-6'9 wings, they're also looking at guards for that. Unless another Steph-esque talent comes through the draft, we're looking at a size-filled NBA in the future, where unicorns the size of Wilt are routinely running down the court like Giannis.

Originally posted by TheRodster21 View PostSmall ball is less about height and more about skills, and you?re right, more 7footers are becoming small ball type bigs because of their guard skills and ability to run up and down the floor, not to mention ball handlers are getting bigger like you pointed out. Realistically how many 7footers can run up and down the floor and guard the perimeter is still rare but probably going to become more normal in the future. The league is trending towards small ball type basketball. 6?8 pgs with 7footers like Wembanyama running around.
I put those in quotes because there's no way bigs like Cartwright, Purdue, and Longley were unskilled. They just looked like it because their job was the dirty work down low.

Originally posted by gideonIf Adelaide doesn't pick up the team option and he goes to the Gleague next season that is even worse money (35k USD).
G League Drafted Players (Basic Contract/Under 18 yrs old) ? $7400 monthly
Select Players ? $125 000 plus call up pay
Assigned Players ? Pro-rated NBA salary/NBA Salary depending on player?s contract
Two Players ? Standard G League Contract of $7000/ Select Player pay of $125 000 + NBA Two-Player Pro-Rated Pay of NBA minimum contract
...the $35K is for 5 months, thus the $7K monthly. That's excluding benefits and bonuses. Still small compared to other basketball salaries, but not as small if one thinks that it's for one whole year. And it's usually below 18 yr old kids who get that minimum amount. Jalen Green received $500K for his GLeague season (Select Player).
