2024 NBA Free Agency: Bobby Marks on moves & what to watch out for in the coming days! | NBA on ESPN

[@ColbyLanham]

Give Bobby his own KZbin channel. One of the best in the biz understanding all this NBA logistics

[@shahherwan93]

I think they can but wont. But he's useful in parts of the season. During the season, he cant do much and First Take/Get Up/NBA today is best to feature him from time to time.

[@reecewilliams8349]

Bobby is the goat of the nba transaction media coverage hahaha

[@PellePelle87]

I agree he’s soo smart and knows the financial implications and the meanings. I highly agree he should have his own podcast, KZbin channel, etc. very good at what he does.

[@person0542]

It's weird how defensive everyone at ESPN is about Bronny...

[@DaNewWaveLee]

Because he won’t play that much. People act like he’s about to get asked to average all star numbers.

[@Marian-ng3do]

@@DaNewWaveLee It doesn't matter if he's gonna play or not. YOu can't use nepotism there too, because everybody wants a winning team and can't sacrifice even that. Its a principle - you either say you brought him to hype the public because of the father-son unique aspect AND to bring Lebron back OR you plainly admit it is nepotism by Lebron & the Lakers, like Giannis/Bucks did - there is no middle ground in my opinion - dude should of stayed in college to prove himself. For me it's just dirty because I have dealt in real life with people getting their jobs through unfair ways, including nurses at the public hospitals. I'm not saying this is a big deal, BUT it is setting a bad example for tha fans and whoever is paying attention. Also the huge amount of nba/media people just pretending it's 100% okay and this isn't shady at all, the hypocrisy we breed is scary. Only the anonymous haters have the courage to say it outight - I've not heard even Skip Bayless saying anything.

[@MikeW_is_entertained]

Because Bronny is a real person. All that hate can tear down a brotha. Plus LeBron has been “the franchise” for those who cover the NBA. Tbh… I respect the longevity & clout LeBron has to get his son signed.

[@CoachTC23]

@@DaNewWaveLeeno.. people act like someone who belongs in the g league will be getting way too much air time. Which he will. Not having PT but still getting the money eyeballs etc is what’s going to make him a target every second brons not nearby. You think a 25yr old dawg working into the league that can beat the brakes of Bronny on the court isn’t pissed right now? It’d be best if these shows didn’t mention him at all. Giving him air time is going to make it a lot worse for him.

[@rtblues]

The most reasonable idea for Chicago is to let Derozan walk and reclaim that CAP space. Taking back salary is exactly what Chicago shouldn't be doing!

[@Jamar-lg9ob]

If it's draft capital and young players they absolutely should or last year contract

[@rtblues]

[@boris8499]

The Raptors roster is pretty much set at this point… they’re at approx $170m payroll currently, JUST short of the luxury tax, n have all 15 roster spots full now. I’d say there’s a 95% chance Trent Jr does not return at this point - paying him would catapult them to/past the 2nd tax apron - a move that doesn’t make sense for a team as bad as they are currently. Hope they can swap Brown for a pick during the season n hopefully Ja’Kobe can fill in for Trent Jr as they rebuild…

Utah Jazz options… trade for Trae Young, build around Lauri. Or trade away Lauri and try to be the worst team and get Flagg. They still have to add 25 million in salary, so by trading him away that will prove to be very difficult. I think they build around Lauri and sign some more role players

[@KK-pm7ud]

Never. They aren't rebuilding. Give LaVine to Utah with a ton of picks.

[@boris8499]

Highly unlikely - with their other moves they’re now below the luxury tax line, so they’d have to package Tucker, Mann, Hyland, & Powell to comfortably take LaVine’s salary back… n that’s assuming CHI would be okay taking Powell’s contract back (unlikely, considering their current position).

Yea as long as smaller markets don’t shy away from the luxury tax. If they do then it won’t help them much. For example, Hartenstein in OKC. The Thunder gonna have a huge bill in two seasons. They already once in the past backed away from the tax. Denver is reducing their spending now but they took advantage of their championship window.

When Bobby Marks said that it's standard for Bronny James, who doesn't have the stats to even be in the NBA as well as a bottom 2nd round pick, to get a 4 year guaranteed contract............is when I lost all respect for Bobby Marks. Unfortunately, there are only a few people that cover the NBA who will actually tell the truth instead of the many that continue to read off of the same Klutch Sports script.

Sorry Bobby, I do not agree with some of the things you talk about.

If they had played anyone but Denver, there were people picking them to get to the WCF again.
