Reupping everyone means being in luxury tax on a team missing Batman, I don’t see it.It's part of the reason I'm good with just reupping everyone, adding shooters and running this shit back.
1) There are no studs likely to get traded this summer that I want. Utah already detonated, Brooklyn already detonated. I don't want Dame, don't want Trae, no one wants Beal. Only guys to keep an eye on for the next 12 months are LaMelo, Dejuante Murray, Zach Lavine. But none of those 3 are 1st team All NBA types.
2) Tanking is for mouth breathers
3) There are some maybe situations that could start to form 12-18 months out. Luka isn't going to put up with having nothing around him forever. Shai & Haliburton probably won't want to tough it out in small markets if they don't start making real playoff appearances within the next 2 years. When do the Lakers detonate and what does a 31 yr old Anthony Davis look like?
Very few difference makers are ever available and TO isnt a preferred destinationyeah I don't see what choice the Raps have other than go with what they've got. No top 10 player=no success, so if you can't get that right now, then you have wait for your next Kawhi opportunity. I think there is some merit to what Mindz has mentioned in the past in regard to blowing it up in a market that is an NBA outpost at the best of times. It's a lot easier to do that in a place where guys line up to go to.
Agreed. But I think you actively start looking at what pascal can get you
Losing good players for nothing should not be an option. There is a possibility all 3 of FVV, Trent and Poeltl walk this offseason. Unlikely but possible.
don't we think Masai knows what Pascal could get them by now though?
he certainly has a good idea of who really wants OG after all those discussions at the deadline. probably some pascal talk there too.don't we think Masai knows what Pascal could get them by now though?
Wonder if that “+” is the 13th.
Barnes to the bench is interesting. His 3rd year coming up is a big one. We’re pretty much going to find out how good he can be.
