    This Amen stuff is nuts... not because he is necessarily going to be worse than Miller it's just that Miller as far as what's been reported has the higher value, so it seems like we should be able to trade down even if it is just one spot. Like the Rockets should have to give us pick 20.

    They may not want to give him the super max, but they may be deciding between 3 options:
    1. Underwhelming trade offers
    2. Overpaying to keep him
    3. Losing him for nothing - it's rarely good to lose your best player for nothing

    from everything that is known and rumored about how Masai values his own assets and how difficult he is to deal with, I think he'd be underwhelmed with any offer less than Giannis for Siakam or Tatum for OG

    No he meets the criteria and he has all of the stats and skills and all of that. I don't know I just wouldn't want to give him the supermax if I was a GM but I also wouldn't want to lose him for nothing. So whatever. I'm sure he'll get it.

    To draft a guard with the 3rd pick even if you do trade Simons doesn’t make any sense. Unless the front office knows there's something up with Dame that isn’t yet being reported. Where’s Sharpe play? All along we’ve been saying he needs to be playing SG and you don’t draft a backup player with a top 3 pick.

    They have a good front line. They just need a new backcourt.
