What is the best way to honor/thank Demons for outstanding help?
Use what you asked them to procure for you to the fullest extent
Makes perfect sense dont know why I didnt think of that lol
Burn down a white candle dressed in black art's oil on a sigil of the demon anointed with my blood. Sometimes I smoke a cigar for the spirit and offer alcohol.
There is a layer of energy which humans can't use they find particularly succulent when forced through the chest chakara.its sickly yellow, and in fact its poison to us.think of it as buying him/her dinner.
How did you discover this? And how can we access it?

yeah Magus shadow, please, could you explain this process some more?
should i know something before i start utilizing this? is common visualization a way to go, or there is something else involved? how to force that sickly yellow energy out?
On the flipside, if a sigil is not activating can you punish the demon by visualizing it in pain like fire? I have activated many sigils but one in particular refuses to open for me, so I took my athame and stabbed the center of the sigil visualizing the entity writhing in flames. Thoughts?
Demons are sentient currents of power, I don't think they feel pain.
Did this persuade the demon to complete the task?

I will tell you EXACTLY HOW I came to posses this useful bit of wisdom, however only a few here will believe and fewer yet will believe how it came to me first hand,If I an called a liar or trolled I will speak of it no more, I have written what I have written, I seek no self aggrandizement, I'm not selling a book, nor am I even using my true name which I would likely be known by.
It began by severely screwing up the LBRP. I have a very bad southern accent you see.a person from where I was born and raised should naturally be scared of ANY kind of magic, I was however drawn to that far away light, over the course of years I discovered why, but that's just something else to get someone to call "bullshit" on. my humble beginnings were in "hudu/hoo doo or blue eyed voodoo if you will and what few skills I had in that came from the barely legible scrawls in some leather bound notebooks I found as a teenager left behind by a deceased relative, a sweet, church going, everybody's grandmother who was apparently also a closet witch.bear in mind, you would play hell finding ANY occult based books in the area of the Appalachians I grew up in, I deciphered what I could and practiced my immature craft on the bullies in middle school, until one day my cache of "DEVIL'S BOOKS" was discovered, promptly soaked in gasoline and burned, and I was promptly"beat like a rented mule" and drug off to church to get the "devil" out of me.To this day I wonder if dear old dad knew his own MOTHER wrote those books? years passed and I left my mountain home, never to return, Out here in "the real world" I found a veritable cornucopia of books on Magic, Satanism, new age, etc…I wonder where I would be now if I had had access to Mr. Koetting's works?
I read Crowley and golden dawn,a bit of the kaballah and the goetics and somehow it just did not fill what I desired.the Satanic bible, the Necronomicon, and the black arts became my favorites as they were pretty much devoid of philosophy but rather a hand's on, here it is, practice at your own peril how to, step by step.I began my steps. it was about this time I ran into my one and only mentor, I will only call him by his internet name: I AM.
He was a master of several paths, especially the Necronomicon and he gave me several "beginner rituals" to increase my energy and "toughen up" my aura for the "good stuff"One was his "solar feeding ritual" a lightly modified version of the LBRP and the beginnings of my training in the use of "the great voice" NOW REMEMBER, AT THAT TIME I STILL HAD A TERRIBLE, DEEP SOUTH, CHICKEN FARMER ACCENT!About a week into my training, for some reason, it occurred to me It would be a "good idea" to do I AM's solar feeding ritual, THEN do the LBRP. so here I am with my crappy little home made from a file dagger and butchering the names of the tree very badly, suddenly I heard something like a very large cat meow, I thought little of it, there are cats all over the place, funny thing is, it sounded like it was in my head. I started all over, and like a noob, didn't banish, cleanse or close.I did the solar feeding ritual again, then started the tree of life again, THEN, right where I had gotten to before, my hands started doing things I was NOT telling them to do!My left hand went out in the evocation of Isis sign[Hitler salute] then curved upward like a claw while my dagger began to trace what I know now to be high Egyptian symbols[NOT the standard hieroglyphics!]after a few seconds of being in dumbass grade shock, I threw the dagger down and you better believe I closed and banished this time!and was on the computer to I AM filling him in on this freaky and unheard of event, I thought I was about to get possessed, I was so scared I literally pissed all over myself!
I AM was totally cool about it, the man was a former jet fighter pilot who on occasion had A2A nukes just under his seat[a blown motor and a bad eject ended his career as a navy pilot, keep that in mind, it important to the story]he advised me that it was likely a friendly entity trying to show me the ropes and I should go with it.So I sat and debated…go with it, or take all this magic junk and chunk it in the dumpster…I decided to go for it.I was almost completely disabled by then, my life sucked and the woman I loved dumped me for my old boss[boo fucky godz rot hoo, play me some violins]I have NOTHING to loose and at that time I doubted the existence of such a thing as a soul, fuck it, go for the gold or die in the shit.
SO…that night, I did it up pro style, nice black altar cloth, big brass incense burner [something made me chose sandalwood, lotus and lavender.in retrospect, I had very little choice in the matter I think.I procured[went out and made actually.]another athame, again, I think I was being guided.it is one of the best blades I have ever made, maybe the best.fully tempered and sharpened, It HAD to have bronze fittings, because…you'll understand later why, but brass, copper or nickel would not do!I meditated a few minutes and decided I needed one candle for each element, fortunately I had a huge fascination with CM and I had the correct colors on hand.I laid down my black altar cloth on the table and hefted this uncarved piece of white granite tombstone the guy at the monument place gave me to get it out of his way, only weighs about 50 lbs or so…I polished up the incense and offering bowl with jewelers cloth until they shone like new, what did I offer?..someone in the back of my head kept almost screaming "BEER!"
My goddess to be got a Heineken 22 oz.lol NOW I understand why…
I began again, I turned off the area lights but kept the kitchen light lit [still being somewhat chickenshit of what might happen.]I began as I had, solar feeding ritual, LBRP in great voice and as before, right at that place on the tree, my hands began to move, I decided to chill and see, suddenly I became aware I was saying…to this day I don't know, it damn sure isn't modern Egyptian! something between a growling lion and an angel singing, I then realized I had ABSOLUTELY no control, I couldn't throw the dagger down if it had been carving me up like a cooked ham! ,nor could I stop "singing". at this point I desperately wanted to be screaming!So I used the very last thing that was till my own and I slammed my eyes shut…
Little problem, I could still see, but I was no longer in my living room, I was in fact, [start taking notes now]I was standing in what appeared to be an Egyptian temple in a STONE TRIANGLE[ But Magus, that's where summoned spirits are supposed to appear!]ya think…I WAS that summoned spirit you see!I began to slowly turn and I began to notice the stone blocks which made up the triangle had deeply engraved symbols on them, when I finished turning around I saw this "being"sitting behind a very large fire bowl looking at me as if she was "half asleep", or just simply bored, I could make out a sky blue robe and some kind of crown made like twisted cobras about to catch a hawk, it dawned on me that whoever or whatever this lady was she was well over eight feet tall and had very green, cat eyes that reflected the burning blue whatever was in the brass fire bowl so that they appeared lit from within, It was then I saw SHE was within a circle of carved stone tiles much like my triangle.I remembered Sekhmet was a lioness so I tried to ask if that was who indeed she was, but before I could fully form the thought in my head, she leaped up to her full height [a LOT bigger than eight feet tall!]threw back her hood revealing her face to be that of what I now now to be a caracal, and swung a huge, heavily engraved, bronze staff around in an arc and pointed to a symbol carved into one of the tiles that made up her circle.
She said in a voice that vibrated every atom in my body!
She swung her big bronze staff again to another symbol opposite to it,
Absolute, stark staring, underwear soiling terror finally won and I exploded from my trailer into the night, I had screamed so loud I was hoarse for a week, fortunately in this neighborhood, nobody gives a fuck.
I tripped and fell flat on my face and my eyes slammed shut, there I was again in her temple.I opened my eyes and "ran"on all fours like a dog maybe a hundred feet, and my eyes shut again, and again I was there before her in the triangle, with her looking down at me with those green cat eyes.My heart was pounding, my hands, knees and elbows were bleeding from a dozen cuts, I said aloud to myself:
Fuck it.this thing is going to do whatever it damn well wants to me and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it…I propped my eyes open, walked back inside, blew out the candles, turned out the light and laid down on the couch.
I was back in an instant, in the dark, I no longer needed to shut my eyes…she knelt at the edge of the circle and looked me in the eyes.
"Speak my name again, as you did in the ritual"
I tried to remember which "angel of the tree" I always seemed to be on when strange things happened.[NOTE, I will be referring to her as Mafdet because that is what she was known as back in the day, it is NOT her real name!]
I um…are you Mafdet?
It was at this point the huge caracal faced goddess was gone and my arms were full of a completely bald, barely clothed, barely legal age girl who was kissing me with passion like…well like I've never had before!All the time crying and telling me she thought I was lost forever in the Earth's incarnation cycle.
Then she gave me something ELSE like I'd never had before! It was about then I noticed I wasn't a dumpy old middle aged guy with a beer gut anymore, not only was I buff, I was equipped with a rod a porn star would be proud of.It was there on my back in the triangle I looked up and saw the earth, it was getting closer…
She slowly returned to her "godform" and whispered to me:
Soon my temple will be very near to the earth XXXXXX my love, I will feed willingly for the first time since I came here to die 7500 of your years ago,Then we shall talk again, and…we will do this again and again as often as you like!but for now my love, return to your abode.
I woke up in bed the next day wondering how I got there and what might have caused such a crazy ass hallucination as I hadn't done anything stronger than pot since high school, it was then I saw the dried blood and remembered my hands and knees, I washed thoroughly but the only traces of the deep cuts and gashes were light pink marks!I was on the internet to I AM as soon as I had dried off.
He was somewhat amazed,and for a dude that's walked the gates in the Necro, that's not easy to do!I AM was the one who sent me the news blurb about the near earth asteroid passing between the earth and moon the next day.needless to say, I stopped believing it was a dream, the next day is when my dreams/OBEs/summonings began…
I don't care if you don't believe a damn word, I'm not selling a damn thing, I don't want my very own cult and typing with one finger sucks,but I WAS asked a direct and precise question, by the oath of my order, I am obliged to answer truthfully and to the best of my abilities.
Apologies brothers, I don't know why I felt possessed to write the story of my becoming a Magus, someone must have liked it, there was a crisp 20$ stuck in my keyboard this morning, but still.I'm sorry I off topiced the hell out of your thread, let me just nutshell it for the man and STFU about other stuff.if anybody actually cares about this stuff, I'll make its own thread somewhere.
You will now be introduced to concepts very FEW are privileged to ponder.
I practice Egyptian Alchemy.the foundation of this being that MAN is a five fold being consisting of:
The Ba,Ka, Name, Shadow and Akh
Each of these parts is directly connected to a portion of the human mind, and each portion of that mind is DIRECTLY connected to an ELEMENT, an oddly, each element is connected to an emotion, hence many who know this little secret manipulating their emotions to an absolute peak before or during a working, music is great for this…
These elemental energies are layered into the being of man, much like an onion skin, there are FIVE basic ones and TEN muddled or mixed layers and in my years I have only found uses for TWO of these impure veins of energy, one being the care and feeding of your friendly Daemon.you see, in Egyptian Alchemy, or E.A[Nods to my gracious host]A Daemon is NOT your slave or servant, NOR are the to be overly feared unless you piss them off, then they can be QUITE fearful.90% of those I have entered into working relationship or EVEN become friends with have come by this simple, no threatening, benign working:
There are 5 MAIN energy vortexes in E.A used to manipulate the working of the universe.we call these "wheels" as opposed to "spells" because of the "spokes" and the fact they rotate as they are cast and work[google the 5 pointed ancient Egyptian star, looks like a 5 pointed Astrix]
DODZ ROT, I'm a long winded bastard am I not?
I'm trying to explain in detail and come to find the details have details about details.SEE WHY I DON'T WRITE A BOOK?!
Ok, I'll STFU and hopefully get to the meaty goodness of getting you your very own Daemon friend/bodyguard:
Have you ever suddenly felt such painful depression it was like you just walked in on your best friend having anal with your mother just as your dad killed them both with a chainsaw and then deep throated the still running blade? grade of agony depression, there are two causes for this and fortunately, we as Sorcerers can immediately tell which it is, the first is, you have a chemical disorder, the second is a hungry demon is having to rip through your energy layers to get his lunch, this ripping causes all kinds of mental anguish as your brain and internal organs try to adjust to abruptly being short circuited and dealing with frequencies and polarities they were NOT designed to operate on, SO next time it happens, and it will, cast a defensive sphere[fuck circles] of red or white fire.if the feeling immediately stops, congratulations. you're about to meet one of your local Daemon, IF you do this right:
Now we get back to those 5 basic and ten muddled layers.at your core is the white center, you use it to heal, find love yadda, its associated with the blue [water element]layer which is the repository of all your knowledge, past, present, and even future, AH but also the air[or solar, children of Ra] which is golden and is also used to heal, teach, and negotiate.between them is the Void layer which is a smoky to black seeming energy and is used to seek wisdom.
Now here is where my heartfelt Admiration for Mr. Koetting stems from, he could explain this to an idiot in 3 paragraphs, myself will take a page or two. but I REALLY want you guys to get this right because once you do, your lives will take off like an MX- Missile in its way to Baghdad!
Let me try this way:
Water/blue color/repository of skill and memory.its throne is between your eyes.it is normally but not always your outer energy layer, commonly among higher level Sorcerers and Magi anyway.
Void, also known as "the child"[dark matter to ye of imminent genius]/smoky grey/the seeker.it is over the center of the throat, slightly under your throat chakara. Void is just under water no matter how you're mixed.
Air[or the light ye sons of Ra]has its throne dead center of the chest, again, just below that chakara, its your love and joy, your charity and ability/desire to help and teach and is primarily a healing nature.NOTE, here is where the pain starts when a Daemon feeds, it is important you remember this!
Next is earth, now note CAREFULLY! Earth and air sometimes is reversed as to their thrones, normally this only happens in either professional warriors or those with high and strict moral codes.this is your drive of will and determination, it resonates like a slow jack hammer if your astral senses are keen enough to perceive it. its throne is the solar plexus and is the only one which actually shares the exact location of the stomach chakara.off topic slightly, those who develop and master this throne are known to be able to crush out a lit cigarette in the crook of their elbow and NOT be burned among other things.
Next to last is the fire throne, situated just above your main reproductive organs, he is your desire, your lust, your hate and anger and your baser instincts,HOWEVER, when you need a working to work NOW! placing this right behind the primary need spoke in your wheel is like putting formula one fuel into your Pinto, and as for vengeance, lust, or self serving, greedy wheels.it is king!
The "spark"I try not to include "him" as he has no throne and resides in your very core, but since he is part of what the Daemon needs for dinner, also, a clever energy vampire knows how to peel back your other layers and feeds upon this, it is YOUR life force, a Black Magician also knows how to "poison/altar" for multiple uses, ranging from outright murder to making a sex slave, one can also create very strong psychic bonds by placing a bit of his own in there, one can also give a lifetime of teaching in a few minutes using a similar tech
NOW then…where these elements meet, they produce layers of buffered, bastardized energy, it MUST have actual uses, I just haven't found many. energy of these types does not like to lie dormant and doing things like magic, ESPECIALLY SCREWING IT UP! or extreme emotion tend to mix them up in unpredictable ways, the mix in question is Spark+Air+ occasionally void, this mix tends to congeal, much like some kind of nasty astral cheese and block your natural energy flows and short circuit your magic and plug up your thrones and probably your chakara as well,getting rid of it is easy however, look within and you'll see it as a layer of snot yellow sludge, by will and intent, gather it just under your air throne/chest chakara.not to be gross, but now you're ready to take a big astral dump.in fact it sometimes has a similar sensation.visualize it gathering and then force it out it through the throne and NOT the chakara, doing it too fast can cause what we call "mage burn"[it can be cured by dabbing the area with fresh rainwater or well water.]afterwards you will not only feel better but your magic, mow able to instantly interface with the realm, will receive a boost which will utterly amaze! Ah, but now to the EVEN BETTER portion of your astral dump.if a "being" is already there which you work with, announce to him you have something he may enjoy.then do it! if you work with one who was formerly human, think of it forming into a favorite food, like an ice cream sundae or a mega sized bacon cheeseburger with spicy home fries and a cherry fountain coke with a wedge of lime, you can form an flavor it simply by intent.regular Daemon don't seem to give a damn as long as its there.
Daemon and Fallen are NOT the same order of being! I don't think Fallen consume such, they might, but I have no evidence of this, nor will elder brings, I.E Meclchior or other ascended ones.to them you might as well have taken a big, nasty shit in their presence, nor will any of the dark Pantheon
be very impressed, I.E Set, Odin, Gaia, Hermes etc.HOWEVER, our dark cousins, the Imps, Daemon, and other "lurkers will become fast friends for an easy meal and will become inclined to help you as a favor even in things you don't ask for[like making sure the prick that stole your girlfriend wraps his ports car around a tree.]After all, digging the fuel they require out of you is hard work and somewhat painful to you, after all.they have to force their way through healthy energy, some of which harms them, or somehow force an appropriate emotional response which is pretty hard to do at times and also may end up hurting you as well.the first time you do this, announce out loud:
I am about to cleanse my energy being, if what comes is pleasing to you, take it as my gift, and go in peace.I intend to do this daily right before [bed, go to work, etc]to let them know when dinner is.I once had a former Lemurian, who was apparently a priest before the polar shift locked him out of the incarnation cycle return the gesture by giving me a bite of "Eve's apple"Those of you who have studied places most can not will immediately recognize that of which I speak, not EVERY daemon can give this gift, but I was very lucky, as he was captain of four legion and very powerful!
Now I suppose I have to tell you of "Eve's apple" Obtaining it should be the goal of EVERY Sorcerer both new and learned.it has two side effects.one is
Hard to describe, but pray to whatever godz you hold dear you are alone when it is given, because EACH AND EVERY EMOTION CAPABLE OF BEING FELT WILL HIT YOU ALL AT ONCE AT ITS FULLEST INTENSITY!You will scream in agony while laughing hysterically during multiple orgasms while the sensation of being slowly shredded alive while on fire during a 10,000 foot free fall hits you.however long it lasts is up to the strength of the Sorcerer, at the time I was in peak health.my experience lasted almost six hours before I passed out! the SECOND EFFECT, is that you will "know"in the time you are under its effects you will be let loose in the Akhashic library with an unlimited library card! you will see and know things some would die for the privilege of, and the SWEET PART, you can actually remember quite a bit of it, and that connection never quite goes away!It will be at that moment, you will cease to be human, you will be a young god.treasure every moment, explore every new ability and exercise that you hold dearest often, for with
disuse, it WILL go away!
There now Brothers,I finally got it out, I would have loved to have detailed it more, but too much to read often loses readers.IF ANYONE CARES enough and my kind host will permit it, I'll share the long winded story I began where I couldn't get to the point.
Sigh I just wanted to learn from Master Koetting when I got here.his works are masterful and I wish I had access to them when I began this adventure of this incarnation.
Yes they do, but remember, if you make one mad enough, they can and will wait patiently for you to die, drag you kicking and screaming into what I call the "hurricane of souls" and give you an ass beating lat will likely last until the polar shift, when they can return to flesh and it is WE who will be summoned to the triangle to be yelled at and threatened by some idiot in a black house dress waving a dull knife around.
Oh gee, I just stabbed my ex G/Fs private cell phone number,o0o0o0o the bitch is hurting good now…
Nope.One of several things is wrong.
The sigil is either drawn wrong or wasn't properly worked during its creation.
The being you are summoning, has been bound by some asshole and couldn't link if he wanted to, the being in question has been destroyed[it can happen!]or he is incapable of doing the task you desire of him, ALSO certain external influences can hinder communication with a being, some require the seal to be drawn in a certain color and used facing a certain direction[Lords of the north and death spirits are VERY picky about this!]Many elementals will not come if you are wearing ANY ferric metals such as steel or ESPECIALLY IRON!Read Mr. Koetting's newsletters, I'm sure he can give you far better details and explain far more eloquently.If you are summoning a Fallen or one of the Dark Pantheon, YOU are on THEIR time, and if they don't like your attitude, they won't come.Settech, Artimus and Anubis will, but only to tell you what a miserable cockroach you are and tell you to remember just what your place in the universe actually is, AND YOU BETTER DAMN WELL SAY THANK YOU WHEN THEY GET DONE!
Scary stuff aside, check everything on your end, is it virgin paper? does it need to be on lambskin or parchment? is the ink right? is the direction you are facing correct? do you have a bad version of the sigil? does it have to be drawn in any special ink or blood? who's blood? does it require to be drawn with a copper or Iron stylus? should it only be drawn at certain times of the day/moon phase? Inanna WILL NOT manifest if her seal is drawn at any but the appropriate time, Likewise Baalsheazheor, but on occasion he will send a servant if he likes your style.
Are the candles right? they must be fully the color associated with the being, the "dipped color" pseudo wax things can cause more trouble than saving those 2$ is worth.do the candles already belong to another being?.check up any and all possibilities on your end, destroy the seal you have reverently and apologize to the being if you have offended them while doing so.I suggest burial, as pitching it in the trash is an insult.
Hope that helps
Garmonbozia! I was going to ask earlier whether it looked like creamed corn, but couldn't think of a way of phrasing it that didn't sound like the stupidest question ever asked.
"Yes they do, but remember, if you make one mad enough, they can and will wait patiently for you to die, drag you kicking and screaming into what I call the "hurricane of souls" and give you an ass beating lat will likely last until the polar shift"
Interesting. I keep changing my views on demons after every evocation. They keep appearing more and more real to me in all senses. (Starting out thinking that they may just be parts of my mind and nothing else, to now seeing that they exist independent of me but still can use my mind to help project themselves and their ideal into this world) I never thought that the could feel pain, but it is entirely possible. Maybe they feel it in a different way than we do?
They may know how to deal with pain like in EAs newsletter on focusing upon ones pain as a catalyst for power. If a masochistic human can.derive energu from it, how much more our darker kin?
Oh, they feel pain.some of the oddest things we in containers of meat might shrug off or even find enjoyable would cause them agony, such as the burning of certain herbs or tones of music.I so however think that being forced to fully manifest in a triangle far too small to accommodate their being pisses them off worse than anything. I use a 9"X9"X9" triangle to hold the brazier in which I offer them means to manifest their face, but I do not demand it! a proper triangle is AT LEAST 9'X9'X9 feet in diameter with the main point facing south for the dark ones or north for the light.
Do you think a buildup of this energy, or demonic attack could manifest as asthma, or chronic bronchitis?
Ive been fairly healthy my whole life, up until a few years ago, I moved into a new house and almost immediately had a complete mental breakdown, and developed respiratory problems that still hurt me today. Giant buildups of phlegm and constrictions of the bronchi and such that almost stop my breathing completely. The doctors have been completely stumped, as people dont often suddenly get asthma out of nowhere. Ive been trying to figure this out for quite some time, and your post is the first thing Ive seen that puts all the pieces together.
This is a fucking EPIC thread that needs to be brought back out into the light of day!
And Magus Shadow, I think I love you, let's elope and make babies.
I'm going to work at finding and expelling this astral gunk of deliciousness. Sounds intriguing.

NBA Saturday: Dwyane Wade Turning Back the Clock
Dwyane Wade is healthier than he has been in recent seasons and is showing flashes of his younger self.
Earlier this week, the NBA released its most recent All-Star voting numbers. Coming in at the top was Kobe Bryant who, as of Thursday, registered 1,262,118 votes. Kobe is in the final season of his historic 20-year career and so it comes as no surprise that fans are flooding the voting channels with his name despite the fact that, at age 37, he is putting together arguably the worst season in his illustrious career.
While Kobe is a lock to take one of the starting guard slots for the Western Conference, Dwyane Wade of the Miami HEAT currently holds a strong lead in the voting for one of the guard slots in the Eastern Conference. The difference is that Wade, who will turn 34 on January 17, isn't earning votes because this is final season in the NBA. Rather, Wade is earning his votes on the back of his resurgent 2015-16 season, where he has turned back the clock and shown flashes of his younger self.
Through 35 games this season, Wade is averaging 18.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and one steal while shooting 46.6 percent from the field. While these numbers are very solid for a 33-year-old shooting guard, they aren't earth-shatteringly good. In fact, Wade's numbers this season are either right in line, or outpaced, by his per game statistics from last season. But don't let that fact fool you into believing that Wade isn't enjoying a resurgent season.
Wade has struggled with injuries stemming back to his college days at Marquette. After tearing the meniscus in his left knee in 2002, Wade chose to have it removed, a decision he said has led to ongoing issues throughout his NBA career. Indeed, Wade has never played a full 82-game season, topping out at 79 games played in 2008-09 (which also happened to be arguably his best individual season). He has missed 61 games over the last three seasons to various injuries and strategic rest days to keep him fresh throughout the season.
If you only watched Wade this season, however, you wouldn't be able to tell that the veteran guard has struggled with injuries throughout his career. He is attacking the rim aggressively, hitting tough fall-away jumpers, taking opponents off the dribble and keeping defenses off balance with a fluidity in his movement that we have not seen in recent seasons. This was on full display in Miami's recent win against the Phoenix Suns, where Wade contributed 27 points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and a couple of highlight dunks.
Wade is crediting his improved athleticism and health to Dave Alexander, who trained Wade this last offseason. Wade switched to Alexander last offseason after training with highly-regarded trainer Tim Grover for the last 13 years. With Alexander, Wade lost 10 pounds and entered training camp in shape and free of injury.
"It was very tough," Wade told Michael Wallace of ESPN on parting with Grover. "But at the end of the day, I have to make a lot of tough decisions because it's my life, right? Tim is great. Obviously, he wanted to continue to work with me, but he also saw I wanted to go in this direction. It wasn't easy to have that conversation because he's been in my life since my rookie year. But this is what I needed to do. I needed something a little different. Coming off the last couple of years, my body needed a different focus."
So far this season, that new focus is paying off for Wade. Wade has only missed one game this season and that was to be with his youngest son who was in the hospital.
"It's always a question," Wade said regarding perceptions about his health. "But no one wants it more than me, at the end of the day. I told Pat [Riley] the same thing. I love playing the game, and I love being healthy playing the game. Last year, I was disappointed I had two hamstring injuries that kind of took me out of a portion of the 20 games I missed because I thought I was making the strides. But this year, I switched a few things up and I'm more about my body and it feels great."
With a clean bill of health, Wade is helping the HEAT keep pace in the East. Miami is currently 22-14 and just two games back in the loss column to the second-place Chicago Bulls. The HEAT's defense is its main strength, holding opponents to just 98.9 points per 100 possessions, which is good for the sixth best rating in the league. However, Miami is no slouch on offense either, scoring 103.2 points per 100 possessions, which places them just outside of the top-10 offenses in the league.
The offensive end of the court is where Wade generates most of his value these days. He has a 31.7 usage percentage this season, the sixth highest usage percentage in the entire league. He handles the ball often as a quasi-point guard and often initiates the HEAT's offense. He is a threat to attack the rim off the dribble, pull up for a midrange jumper, find a teammate for an easy basket in the pick-and-roll, make timely cuts to the rim off the ball and throw down put-back dunks off of missed shots. These are the ways in which Wade is able to bend opposing defenses, unlike younger shooting guards who are modeling their respective games to fit the pace-and-space style of play that is permeating throughout the league.
Wade is a throwback two-guard in that he makes his contributions through sheer volume rather than elite efficiency. Like Michael Jordan and Kobe before him, Wade uses a ton of possessions on offense and generates a ton of defensive attention because of his ability to score in such a diverse amount of ways.
He is not an advanced analytics darling like Khris Middleton, a 3-and-D wing who makes a major impact for his team by knocking down three-pointers, spreading the court, moving the ball and locking down opposing wings. He is not an elite shooter like J.J. Redick or Klay Thompson, players who are among the league's elite in terms of spot-up shooting and efficiency coming off of multiple screens. One of the only categories that Wade comes close to leading in terms of offensive efficiency is in the post. Wade is fourth among all guards in points per possession out of the post (limited to players who have posted up 60 times or more), trailing only Andrew Wiggins, DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook, according to Synergy.
Speaking of DeRozan, there is perhaps no better example of a young shooting guard in the NBA today whose game represents that of the past generation that Wade is a part of. DeRozan, like Wade, can't knock down three-pointers consistently and doesn't impact the game in the same ways that modern 3-and-D wings do, but that doesn't mean he's not an effective player.
As Ian Levy recently wrote for The Cauldron, DeRozan's inability to space the court with three-point shooting is a weakness that he overcomes by being effective in other nuanced ways.
"DeRozan is important because of what an enormous outlier he is: a shooting guard just coming into his prime that is thriving without a 3-point shot," wrote Levy. "He's a statistical unicorn.
"If this DeRozan recipe sounds familiar, it's because it is a relic from another era. This is a rough facsimile of how Michael Jordan played. And Kobe Bryant. And, more recently, Dwyane Wade. DeRozan isn't turning back the clock or opening any fissures on the prevailing wisdom of modern basketball. He's just really, really good. This template doesn't work anymore unless you can do all of these things well and excel in a few specific ones."
Wade's inability to knock down three-pointers consistently (28.8 percent from beyond the arc for his career) should limit his ability to impact games in a major way, especially in today's NBA. However, his ability to handle the ball like a point guard, find teammates for easy scoring opportunities, make difficult shots that other players can't and score out of the post allow him to make a unique offensive impact for his team, which offsets this particular weakness in his game.
Wade has always been able to do these things throughout his career. That is not unique to this season. What is different this season is that Wade is able to do these things fluidly, consistently and doesn't have to miss games to recover strategically to stay fresh and recover.
"It is a lot better mentally to be able to play that way," Wade recently told Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. "It's very taxing mentally when you have to play through pain, when every movement is painful. It's very, very taxing. But when it's not, you can just play basketball and it's the joys of the game."
As we saw against the Suns, Wade is moving well and genuinely looks like he is enjoying the game more than he has in recent seasons. Again, he hasn't remodeled his game to fit the current style of play in the NBA or added some new fancy skill-set that will extend his career. Rather, Wade has simply managed to overcome his recent injury issues with a new training regimen and is now able to more consistently show flashes of the physically dominant guard he once was.
"It's good to see those athletic plays from Dwyane again," Chris Bosh said recently. "We know what he's capable of."
Wade is offering a good reminder of what he is capable of with his play this season and it seems the voters have taken notice.

NBA Daily: Why Boston Rebuffed Indiana
Many reports have come out explaining why Boston didn't trade Gordon Hayward to Indiana when they had the chance. Matt John provides an alternative theory for why Danny Ainge didn't take Indy's offer.
Let's be clear on this: There is some valid intrigue to one Myles Turner.
He is one of the rare hybrid bigs who can block shots (at a high clip) and shoot threes (at an average clip) – and all in a league that values that sort of skillset in bigs now more than ever. He's a seven-foot rim-runner that jumps like his legs are made out of pogo sticks with arms long enough to make Mr. Fantastic jealous.
Although he hasn't grown much as a player over the last three years, you can make the case that none of that is on him. The Indiana Pacers outgrew him for reasons out of his control, which, in turn, has limited his effectiveness and made him a little underrated.
And best of all, had the Celtics acquired him for Gordon Hayward, Turner would have strengthened their frontcourt on depth alone. Their frontcourt weaknesses definitely showed itself in the postseason when it mattered the most. Turner was attainable, is a better fit in Boston than he currently is in Indiana and he fits with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown's timeline, so why didn't the Celtics agree to take him from Indiana when they had the chance?
At first glance, the simple answer is that they just didn't want him that badly. More and more details have come out saying that the Celtics gauged trade interest around the league for Turner and didn't really get anywhere, so they wanted more from Indiana.
Not too long after the Hayward debacle, it was announced that the Celtics were bringing in Tristan Thompson – a starting-caliber big who rebounds better, costs half as much as Turner and has championship experience – further reinforcing that Boston just wasn't that into the center.
That sadly doesn't really answer the question, since, all things considered, getting someone like Turner surely would have been a better alternative than letting Hayward walk for nothing. Even if the Celtics didn't have much interest in Turner to begin with, why this route?
Well, maybe it wasn't about the prospect of getting Myles Turner. Maybe it was more about what kind of asset they were letting go of. Maybe, just maybe, Boston didn't want to make an Eastern Conference rival potentially stronger than them.
If everything went Boston's way, Gordon Hayward would still be suiting up for the Celtics. They were willing to pay Hayward upwards of nine figures to keep him as the fourth guy in their pecking order. Evidently, Hayward didn't want that, and it's not hard to see why.
Besides getting a bag so expensive that pretty much everyone unanimously agrees that it was a gross overpay, Hayward's injuries combined with the unexpectedly rapid growth spurts of Tatum and Brown greatly diminished his role in Boston since first joining back in 2017. Remember that when Gordon Hayward signed a max contract with the Celtics, nobody second-guessed it from either side because he was supposed to be a featured player on a team aiming for a title. Subsequently, that went *poof* just six minutes into his first season in Boston.
You know the rest.
Fast forward to the end of this season and it was clear that Hayward wasn't a featured player anymore and just part of the supporting cast. Being the fourth option has its perks, like not having the pressure to be the guy night-in and night-out. Especially when you're being paid $30 million to do it. Alas, no player signs a max contract intending to be a complementary piece on a contender. Hayward wanted a bigger role and that wasn't happening in Boston.
He's going to get just that in Charlotte, probably would have gotten that in Indiana, and Myles Turner, Doug McDermott and a first-rounder isn't the worst return for someone who was leaving anyway.
But know why the Gordon Hayward era in Boston turned out to be a dud? Hayward never quite figured out what he was supposed to be on the team. He was the most overqualified fourth option in the league and, yet, never quite ran with that role. Hayward brought more good than bad, but the inconsistency was maddening.
There were moments where the Celtics saw the Hayward of old, but they were flashes in a pan. Upon further inspection, there was a pattern. Almost every time Hayward put on a retro performance, someone else on the team happened to not be playing.
The first one of these performances came during the comedy of errors that was Boston's 2018-19 season. His first season post-leg injury, Hayward wasn't exactly the bucket-getter he was during his Utah days. He managed to eclipse the 20-point mark only seven times in the 81 games he played for the Celtics that season – and that included the postseason. So, whenever he had it going, it was safe to say that it was a rare occasion. Such an occasion happened on Jan. 2, 2019.
Hayward's 35 points off the bench helped the Celtics rout the Minnesota Timberwolves, 115-102. This wasn't Hayward's first 30-point performance of the season. Hell, it wasn't even his first 30-point performance against the Timberwolves that season. What made this even more surreal was that Hayward managed to do this without mercurial star Kyrie Irving. Well, it wasn't like Minnesota was exactly the team to beat so there wasn't too much to take from it. But then, on Feb. 12, it happened again.
Gordon Hayward put up yet another excellent performance – and this time against the twice revamped and very legitimate Philadelphia 76ers with Tobias Harris and Jimmy Butler. Yet again, no Kyrie, no problem. The Celtics won 112-109 going away, and they wouldn't have done it without Hayward.
Any Celtics fan would tell you that it was a Kyrie thing seeing how badly that relationship ended. In fact, he had his best performance as a Celtic against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Nov. 5, 2019, where he hung a career-high 39 points on them.
This time though, there was no Jaylen Brown. Huh. So maybe it didn't have much to do with Kyrie. Maybe Hayward played better when more touches were available. Hayward never put up a performance quite as strong as that one again – but anytime he had a standout performance, it usually fell under the exact same conditions. If Hayward had a great game it was because a vital player on the Celtics had been absent, and he was good enough to make up the difference.
For instance, on Jan. 28, Boston faced off against their future conference finals opponent Miami HEAT without the blossoming Jayson Tatum – moreover, it was in South Beach, where the home team had lost on their home floor only twice beforehand. Boston prevailed 109-101. How did they do it?
A month later, it happened again. This time against old friend Minnesota and this time without Kemba Walker. It didn't matter then either. Hayward looked like himself.
Sure, Hayward had some fantastic games when the squad was at full strength and had some not-so-fantastic games when featured players were out, but this didn't feel like a string of coincidences. At that time, it didn't seem as evident, but in light of his departure, it stands out more now: The bigger role Gordon Hayward had in the offense, the likelier he was to perform better.
That was the conundrum with sending him to Indiana. Should he have been sent to the Pacers, there would have been more touches for him. Indiana already has some impressive offensive talent between All-Star center Domantas Sabonis and bubble-darling TJ Warren. Even with how good those two have been, theoretically, they wouldn't have demanded the ball enough to limit Hayward's role on the team like Boston inadvertently did with the Jays and Kemba.
With the ball in his hands more, the Hayward that showed up oh-so-sporadically in Boston may have been a mainstay in Indiana. That's not a sure thing, but Ainge may not have wanted to take that chance.
It's also worth mentioning that with the emergence of Sabonis, Indiana had less and less use for Turner. They've tried to make the pair work for the last three years. Their two-man net rating together is plus-2.1, which is fine, but it doesn't show much progress compared to the plus-2.8 the year prior. With Sabonis' emergence as their center of the future, it seems much more apparent that Turner is the odd man out.
So if the Celtics agreed to sign and trade Hayward for Turner among others, they'd be doing the Pacers potentially two favors:
1. Giving Indiana the better player and fit who would thrive in a bigger role.
2. Ridding Indiana of an already expendable player, talent and all.
Let's now point out the obvious. Of course Danny Ainge didn't want to lose Hayward for nothing. No one in his shoes would. But evidently, he didn't think acquiring Turner as the centerpiece was worth possibly making the Pacers, an Eastern Conference rival, not only better with Hayward, but potentially better than the Celtics too.
Indiana was a mere 3.5 games behind Boston for the third seed in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. Hayward, even with his injury history, could have conceivably raised their ceiling high enough to supplant Boston. If Boston believed he wasn't capable of that, then maybe they would have pulled the trigger on this deal – or more definitively, wouldn't have been offering him $100+ million to keep him around.
Here's a better way of putting it: The Celtics are much more likely to fear a team with Gordon Hayward if his supporting cast has the likes of Sabonis, Warren and Malcolm Brogdon than they are if his supporting cast has the likes of LaMelo Ball, Devonte' Graham and PJ Washington.
Optimistically, Hayward makes Charlotte a borderline playoff team. There's no telling what he could have done for Indiana if all they had to give up was Turner, McDermott and a first-rounder.
Ultimately, too, Hayward was moved by Charlotte's out-of-the-park mega-offer – and that's why he'll be donning a Hornets uniform next season.
In the end, Boston did get something out of Hayward. A league-record $28.5 million trade exception. One so big that it took forking over two second-round picks to get Charlotte to comply. It's hard to believe that Boston won't use an exception that large – look at what Golden State just did with the exception they got for Andre Iguodala – just like it's hard to believe that they'll get someone of Hayward's caliber on the trade market. A star is probably out of the question, but a young player with upside definitely isn't. Someone like Myles Turner comes to mind. As stated earlier, there's definitely some intrigue to Turner.
Just not enough intrigue to trade Gordon Hayward for – as Boston has made so abundantly clear.
2020 NBA Draft and Free Agency Roundable
Drew Maresca, Matt John and Steve Kyler discuss winners and losers of the NBA Draft and free agency.
ALERT. ALERT. ALERT. The NBA's 2020-21 season is scheduled to begin in less than a month.
If it feels like we just crowned the 2020 NBA Champions, that's because we did. The Los Angeles Lakers secured their 17th championship on October 11, just over a month ago. Still, the new season kicks off in less than a month, on December 22; and the preseason could start almost two weeks earlier (December 11). And while there is much to look forward to pertaining to the new season, there is also much to assess.
November brought us trade season, the 2020 NBA Draft and a flurry of free-agent moves – all of which kicked off within days of one another, beginning on November 16. Basketball Insiders begins its 2020-21 coverage with Drew Maresca, Matt John and Steve Kyler assessing the abbreviated 2020 offseason:
NBA Draft Winners:
The draft had its share of surprises, but nothing outdid Tyrese Haliburton slipping to 12th. Haliburton shot up draft boards since the NCAA season came to an abrupt stop in March. His size and versatility were highlighted over and over again, and he was billed as an ideal running mate to pair with a score-first point guard. It seemed all but certain that he'd be a top-6 pick, with the Pistons at 7 being his assumed floor.
Well, this one was a mind-bender. Not only did he fall past the Atlanta Hawks — who he was linked within the lead up to the draft surprisingly — he was passed up by Detroit (who took another point guard in Killian Hayes) AND New York (who selected the 2019-20 Naismith Player of the Year, Obi Toppin) — both of whom were in the market for a point guard of the future.
But while it's surprising that he fell to Sacramento, it's far from a bad thing for Haliburton. He'll line up next to point guard phenom De'Aaron Fox, who just inked a 5-year max extension. The Sacramento backcourt will look to move the ball up the court (FAST), and Sacramento could have found its backcourt of the future.
And it looks like Sacramento will give Haliburton more responsibility than originally assumed as they opted to pass on matching an offer sheet for shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanović (who will head to Atlanta). Further, guard Buddy Hield has a notoriously tumultuous relationship with head coach Luke Walton, making it look as though Haliburton can begin leaving his mark on the NBA immediately. Keep an eye on the rookie from Iowa State as a dark horse in the rookie of the year race.
- Drew Maresca, Staff Writer
If we're being completely honest, the fact that this draft wasn't renowned for its upfront talent and more renowned for its deep pool of solid players makes it difficult to determine who really are the big-time winners of this go-round. So for this year, I think I'll label the teams that usually get maligned for their draft decisions that definitely made the right choice.
Let's start with the Charlotte Hornets. Michael Jordan has been routinely made a laughingstock for the moves he's made for the Hornets, but instead of playing it safe, he went with the high upside pick. Out of all the prospects in this draft, LaMelo Ball arguably has the highest ceiling. There are definitely red flags to his game but the Hornets swung for the fences here because Ball may very well have the best chance at becoming a star. If he flops, he flops but that's not relevant here. For the Hornets, drafting him at the very least signifies that they really do want to change their fortunes.
Then there's the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cleveland has made some… interesting draft choices with their lottery picks over the past decade, most recently with their 2019 pick, Darius Garland. This time, however, they actually picked the guy who actually fit with what they needed. Cleveland's been sporting a piss poor defense over the last few years, so they brought in one of the draft's most talented defenders. Isaac Okoro's probably not going to be a star, but he definitely aids a big weakness of Cleveland's. There just might be a light at the end of the post-LeBron tunnel.
Finally, as Drew pointed out, the Sacramento Kings made the perfect selection with Tyrese Haliburton. The do-it-all guard should be an excellent backcourt partner with De'Aron Fox, and his selection eases the pain of the recently departed Bogdan Bogdanovic. No one exactly knows what to make of the Kings' current roster makeup with all the personnel and roster shakeups, but Haliburton should be another step in the right direction for them.

They say the true test of an NBA Draft is not known for two maybe three years, and that likely will be true of the 2020 NBA Draft class. To that end, there were a couple of picks that jumped off the page, so let's start with LaMelo Ball to Charlotte.
From a talent perspective, Charlotte may have gotten one of the best players in the draft. When you combine Melo's natural ability with having Michael Jordan in his ear, the Hornets could end up with the top player in the class when it is said and done. The risk on Melo is two-part – first, durability, which we have seen with his brother Lonzo's NBA career. Melo has played a lot of high-level basketball and his body does not reflect high-level physical development, and that could catch up to him as it did with Lonzo.
There is also a side-show factor. There are enough things going on in an NBA season, but to have the sideshow that comes with the Ball family in Charlotte is a risk. James Borrego has built a strong foundation for Charlotte's youth — will the spotlight and the bully pulpit Melo's father Lavar Ball receives be a distraction? Time will tell, but the pick was an excellent one.
With the 15th pick, the Orlando Magic selected Cole Anthony, and while on the surface Anthony had an underwhelming season at North Carolina, its easy to forget he was one of the top scorers coming out of high school and was, by his own account, playing at 70 percent at UNC. If that's true and Anthony can rebound to his stature coming out of high school, Orlando may have nabbed exactly what they were looking for — namely, an impact scorer. Time will tell if Anthony can be that guy at the NBA level, but getting Anthony's offensive punch with the 15th represents incredible value.
With the 20th pick, the Miami HEAT selected Precious Achiuwa out of Memphis. Talk about the prototypical HEAT player. Achiuwa checks so many boxes for the HEAT; they now have interchangeability with Bam Adebayo, as they have similar physical styles of play. Achiuwa is a quality defensive presence that can guard four positions. To get such a perfect fit at 20 is uncommon and for Miami, it could be a nice selection.

NBA Draft Losers:
Most teams drafted pretty well this year, or they strategically swapped their pick(s). But the Hawks' selection of Onyeka Okongwu was curious for a few reasons. Before I get into the downside of the pick, let's make one thing clear — this is no way means I think Okongwu wasn't deserving of the 6th pick. On the contrary, Okongwu is a long and athletic big man who will probably affect the NBA game beginning on Day 1. But the Hawks didn't need him. They just completed a trade for an athletic, shot-blocker in Clint Capela in February. Regardless of Okongwu's upside, the Hawks simply don't need another starting-caliber center. But they could have used a big, versatile forward like Deni Avdija.
The NBA is moving toward a positionless game. Avdija fits that mold to a T. He is a 6'9″ point forward who can score and create for others. Further, he's a high IQ player who competes hard, plays on and off the ball and possesses strong defensive fundamentals.
Ultimately, the Hawks set themselves up for the future in free agency, so a wonky – but still productive – draft pick won't set them back too much. But Avdinja's upside is substantial. And he could have been inserted into the rotation immediately without stealing too many minutes from major players (whereas Capela will obviously lose minutes to Okongwu).
- Drew Maresca, Staff Writer
As I said earlier, a draft like this makes it hard to decide who are the winners, and the same goes for the losers. For example, the Bulls definitely reached when they picked Patrick Williams, but a draft like this was the perfect time to reach for a prospect if you really liked him. In a case like this, if the other prospects aren't good enough to make you think they'll come back to haunt you, then go for the guy you like the most no matter what anyone else thinks.
In an offseason where pretty much everything uncharacteristically went their way, the Suns made an odd choice when they selected big Jalen Smith seeing how they already have a talented frontcourt and were perhaps better off with a guard like Kira Lewis or a swingman like Haliburton. However, if they think that developing DeAndre Ayton's backup is the way to go, then go right ahead! We also have to remember that everyone thought that the Cam Johnson pick was terrible last year, and he made the whole NBA world eat their words.
There are definitely guys picked later in this draft who might wind up being better overall than Aaron Nesmith, but the Boston Celtics needed someone who can help them now. The Celtics' second unit was desperate for a shooter and that's exactly what Nesmith brings to them. The guys who could wind up being better than Nesmith will need time to develop, and Boston's not waiting anymore. Maybe in previous years, but not now.
- Matt John, Staff Writer
There were not a lot of crazy questionable picks in the 2020 NBA Draft. Maybe we had too much time to micro analyze the class, or maybe teams just went more with popular opinion That said there was one pick that sort of stood out as something of a reach – Patrick Williams at four to the Chicago Bulls.
To be fair, Williams is a quality NBA prospect and he could go on to have a fruitful NBA career; but at four with Killian Hayes and Tyrese Haliburton still on the board (and able to solve more pressing needs), Williams seems to be a stretch.
Every year there is a pre-defined order that most believe the draft will go in, so Williams going several spots higher isn't out of the ordinary. The question is will Williams be a game-changer for a Bulls team desperate for a player in the draft that really moves the needle?
They say the draft should never be about solving positional needs, rather grabbing the best player available. I'm not sold on the idea that Williams was the best talent available at the four spot, so time will tell.

Free Agency Winners:
The rich seemed to get richer in the NBA this offseason. Very few elite teams lost marquee players, and many actually added one or more. But one outlier is the Atlanta Hawks.
Atlanta had an impressive offseason, first adding elite prospect Onyeka Okongwu in the draft, and then adding Danilo Gallinari, Bogdan Bogdanović, Kris Dunn and Rajon Rondon in free agency. That's an impressive haul for any team, but the Hawks just sped up their rebuild considerably, placing themselves squarely in the playoff discussion. Their new additions join an incredibly young core of Trae Young, Cam Reddish, Kevin Huerter, De'Andre Hunter, John Collins and Clint Capela. Rondo will be especially important for Young's development, as Rondo is known to be an incredibly high-IQ player and cut-throat competitor. Gallinari and Bogdanović add versatility and shooting to a team in need of it. The Hawks were probably going to take a step forward and fight for one of the final playoff spots in the East prior to these signings. They'll be even better now.
- Drew Maresca, Staff Writer
It's tough to decide who really are among the biggest winners in free agency because it depends on what the team sought out to do and also because this free agency class was so weak that it was seen as basically the calm before the storm that will be next year's class. If even. It honestly wasn't too impressive.
Keeping what goals they had in mind, more teams won than lost. Atlanta got the best pool of players in free agency by a landslide. Houston got the best economic value for the players they added in the offseason. Utah and Miami for the most part ran it back while adding some new faces that should serve to make them better. Those guys were among the biggest winners, but not the winner of free agency. That belongs to the reigning champion Los Angeles Lakers.
Not a lot of NBA champions can brag that they got better after winning a title, but the Lakers have definitely been the exception. While it was not perfect, the free agency period went as fantastically as they could have hoped. Signing Wes Matthews was their most key signing of the summer because a. the Dennis Schroder trade makes even more sense now and b. Matthews will do everything Danny Green did for the Lakers at basically 1/5th of the price. Coming in at a close second was re-signing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who was brought back at a reasonable deal after an awesome playoff performance.
Honestly, they didn't have to bring in Marc Gasol, but getting him for chump change, even on the back end of his career, was a steal. They were better off keeping Markieff Morris than letting him walk so they did just that. The one head-scratcher was giving Montrezl Harell the full mid-level exception. On the one hand, Harell's better than the no-show he put up for the Clippers when they got spanked by the Nuggets, so that might be a good value for the Sixth Man of the Year. On the other, it's hard to see Harell play in their closing lineups alongside LeBron and Anthony Davis. They learned that the more spacing they had during their title run, the better.
At best, Harell adds second unit scoring to a team that didn't exactly have a whole lot of that last season, and at worst, he's an expendable asset to dangle at the deadline. No matter what happens, the Lakers have had one of the best offseasons a reigning champion can have to the point where it's really not a hot take to say that they are a considerably better team now than they were back in October.
- Matt John, Staff Writer
Free agency winners? The Lakers.
Seriously, to see the 2020 NBA Champions deepen their roster with Dennis Schröder, Montrezl Harrell, and Marc Gasol without giving up anything that truly mattered to their core? That is incredible front office work.
Here are a couple of other situations worth mentioning:
The Atlanta Hawks have completely remade their team and did so without doing anything break the bank silly. The veteran additions of Danilo Gallinari, Rajon Rondo, Solomon Hill and Tony Snell are solid pick-ups and nabbing Bogdan Bogdanović will be a great get, maybe on the high side money-wise, but given his talent so far, it was a solid signing and what you have to do to steal another team's player.
The Miami HEAT running it back with functionally the same core is smart, too. The HEAT are just scratching the surface of their potential given how young so many of their core guys are. They wisely structured their deals to remain flexible, although the Bam Adebayo extension takes them out of the direct free agent market next summer, they won't be tied to long-term boat anchor type deals and could always trade into a free agent they covet because of how many great assets the HEAT have.
Overall, all three teams did a really good job in such a compressed chaotic timeframe.

Free Agency Losers:
To Matt's point above, winners are tough to crown without seeing a finished product on the hardwood. Losers are a little easier. And there are a few clear losers. But the team that hurt itself the most is the Charlotte Hornets. It's a weird pick because I do actually like their roster, and I think it's significantly improved from last year's team. And the guy that's most to blame for the Hornets' hate will probably be their best player in 2020-21, but the Hornets also grossly overpaid to get him.
The announcement that Gordon Hayward was signing with the Hornets took most of the NBA universe by surprise. Hayward waited until (essentially) the last minute to announce he would opt out of the final year of his contract, which would have paid him $34.2 million. It was widely assumed he did so to secure more long-term money, not to essentially duplicate his salary AND stretch it. But that's exactly what he did.
Hayward ultimately announced his intention to sign with the Hornets for 4 years/$120 million. Now, signing a 30-year-old, former all-star is usually celebrated, but Hayward hasn't been able to re-establish himself after suffering a brutal foot injury in the first game of the 2018-19 season. He did manage to 17.5 points per game last season, and he averaged a career-high in rebounds (6.7), but he averaged only 2.8 free throw attempts per game (down considerably from what he tallied in Utah). He also suffered more injuries last season, breaking a bone in his hand in November and suffering nerve pain in his foot during the playoffs. So exactly what player are the Hornets getting? And worse still, what will he be in 2023-24?
Numerous reports state that the Hornets and Boston Celtics are still working on a sign-and-trade deal, which could improve the Hornets' future cap situation. But either way, they're still on the hook to pay Hayward the entirety of this massive contract — and that's not ideal.
- Drew Maresca, Staff Writer
If they manage to win the championship anyway, then the following won't matter, but man oh man, the Bucks really missed out on such a golden opportunity when their sign-and-trade for Bogdan Bogdanovic fell through.
For a couple of days there, it really felt like Milwaukee had added the last piece of the puzzle. Bogdanovic's abilities as a combo guard felt like such a perfect fit for what the Bucks are all about. His abilities as a scorer would have taken more pressure off of Khris Middleton, and his abilities as a shooter should have complemented Giannis' game like a glove. As an added bonus, his 6'6" frame and his playmaking abilities would have further strengthened the Bucks' motion offense and positionless basketball. This was it. The Bucks were going to be better than ever.
Until the rug got pulled right out from underneath them. The tampering debacle canceled everything, and the Bucks at this point can only wonder what could have been. Failing to acquire a superstar is one thing. Having a superstar then failing to get the guy that definitely would have made your championship aspirations the strongest they've been in years is another. That's why they are my pick for the biggest loser in free agency.
In all fairness, their offseason wasn't a total failure for them. In fact, props to them for not stubbornly trying to run it back when it was clear that something had to be done. Jrue Holiday is definitely an upgrade over the likes of Eric Bledsoe and George Hill. Getting a haul of buy-low additions like DJ Augustin, Bobby Portis, Torrey Craig, and Bryn Forbes will help fill out the bench, but none of those guys compare to what Bogdanovic could have done for them. With what's at stake, it could very well haunt Milwaukee knowing that Bogdan Bogdanović slipped through their fingers.
- Matt John, Staff Writer
There were a few head-scratchers in free agency…
Not sure what the Detroit Pistons were thinking. They let their best free agent walk in Christian Woods, then turned around and gave a big deal to a slightly-average guy. Jerami Grant is a quality player, but three years and $60 million is a ton.
If the motivation was to go all in for one more run with Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose, mission accomplished; but I'm not sure that means anything, even in the East.
The Orlando Magic stayed largely quiet in free agency, which was surprising given that it seems the current squad has run its course. The Magic have long valued the idea of growing youth in an environment built around trying to win, but it's clear that Evan Fournier who opted in to a massive final contract year worth $17 million, is primed to be moved and looks to be in camp next week.
The Magic do have some injury concerns specifically Jonathan Isaac who is recovering from an ACL tear and the questionable outlook of Mo Bamba, who had to leave the Orlando bubble unexpectedly back in August, due to physical struggles related to the Coronavirus.
With so much uncertainty around the Magic's youth, their lack of movement in free agency was a surprise.

One Move We'd Like To See:
Kevin Love to the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland enters 2020-21 with a bit to be excited about. They're looking forward to a full season with Jusuf Nurkic in the middle, they re-signed Rodney Hood and they added a high-ceiling youngster in Harry Giles (as well as Derrick Jones Jr.). But even if they also bring back Carmelo Anthony, they'll still need help at the forward spot. Enter Kevin Love.
Love is badly mismatched with the rest of Cleveland's roster. He is 32, whereas nine of their players are 25 or younger. Further, Love is a five-time all-star and NBA champion, whereas the Cavaliers are in a full-on rebuild. It's not an ideal match, and the Cavs should cash Love in before it's too late.
Love to Portland makes perfect sense. He hasn't been seen as a primary option in a number of years, but he still adds incredible value as a scorer, rebounder and passer. And that works perfectly considering Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum appears poised to stick in Portland for at least the next few seasons. Portland could sit tight, but adding Love would put them in the conversation with teams like the Nuggets and Clippers who hope to knock off the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.
Even if Portland can't make a deal for Love, they should look to add a versatile power forward like Julius Randle. They can't rely on Anthony and Giles to hold down the four spot and expect to compete for a championship. But if they maneuver correctly, Dame-time could translate to championship time in the Rose City.
- Drew Maresca, Staff Writer
DeMar DeRozan/LaMarcus Aldridge to the Charlotte Hornets. By drafting LaMelo Ball and maxing out Gordon Hayward, the Charlotte Hornets are out to prove that they really want to be… not subpar! There will be no argument here that Charlotte paid above and beyond for Hayward's services, but his contract is in the same ballpark as Tim Hardaway Jr's- As overpaid as he is, he's not going to take the money and run. He'll do his best to live up to the deal Charlotte gave him even if it's not very likely.
Alas, adding Hayward and Ball only puts Charlotte in discussion for one of the lower playoff seeds, and in no way does it guarantee that they'll get one of them. If MJ and co. truly are serious about getting the Hornets back to the playoffs, what harm could it do to go all in and pry DeRozan and Aldridge from San Antonio? They have the expiring and near-expiring deals to make it work, like Nicolas Batum, Cody Zeller, and Terry Rozier, as well as appealing enough young talent without sacrificing the most appealing assets like Miles Bridges Malik Monk to pull it off. Aldridge's and DeRozan's names aren't as sexy as they were three years ago, and that, along with their contracts expiring, is what makes a possible trade for them feasible. All signs are pointing to San Antonio moving on from both of them, so Charlotte needs to strike while the iron is hot- er, lukewarm in their case if we're being really honest here.
Those two don't make Charlotte a contender in the east – again, if it was 2017, it would be a different story – but they do make the Hornets more formidable as a playoff team. If there aren't many better options for Charlotte, and from the look of things, there really aren't, acquiring those two at least puts Buzz City back in the postseason, and might just complete the most talented Hornets teams we've seen in ages.
- Matt John, Staff Writer
Let's go with Houston…
When Mike D'Antoni and Daryl Morey left the Rockets, you knew the clock was ticking. It really hasn't stopped, the question is when is Houston going to pull the trigger on a Russell Westbrook trade, and how soon after will James Harden follow?
The talk in NBA circles is Westbrook could be headed to Washington in a package for John Wall. Wizards president Tommy Sheppard has said that deal is not happening – that does not mean it couldn't resurface later.
There was talk of James Harden wanting to be in Brooklyn with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, but Houston at this point seems set on waiting out the process and seeing if they can get both Harden and Westbrook back on board… How frequently has that worked out? Typically, when guys ask for the door, they usually get it, and the return usually goes down before it goes up.
Trying to move some $82 million in committed salary during the season is nearly impossible. This is why if Houston wants all the Nets' and Wizards' cookies, they need to make the move now or risk the offers or even the opportunity to dwindle away fast.

The 2020-21 NBA season could end up just as chaotic as last season; but looking past the many challenges facing the league's schedule, player movement has once again shifted the balance of power. There are new favorites this season, and more importantly, there will be surprise teams to look forward to, also. But regardless of which team you root for, NBA fans have much to be thankful for right this holiday season.
