Is this good for us ?
Yikes that's painful.
Probably got into a heated argument over who's the worse 3-point shooter...
"You are."
"No, you are."
"No, goddamit, you are!"
"No way motherfucker, it's you!!"
"You leave my mother out of this, or I'll Delonte your mom!!!"
"That's it, them's fighting words!!!!"
"Bring it BITCH!!!!!"
BNM
I think Paul George would be the type of person to remain with his team after he had his 15 minutes of Sportscenter fame.
No one
It's pure resume fodder....will be good for a HOF bid
It's amazing to me that it hasn't been done before. Think about it from the NBAPA side, rookies aren't officially members of the player's association until drafted, so you're primarily looking out for your own interests. What better way than by getting guys signed in free agency BEFORE a rookie is drafted, and a team decides meh, we've drafted his replacement, why bother signing him. Or a guy falls to you in the draft, and then costs a vet their job. Makes way too much sense, IMO.
Outside of a convenience thing and the apparent delay to tabulate playoffs revenue, there is NO reason why the draft should occur in the prior year's fiscal calendar. This delay has screwed us in the past. Think about 2015 when we traded our draft pick and largely did nothing in the draft while waiting for Aldridge to make his decision. Had we definitively known that he was leaving, you bet Neil would have been more aggressive in the draft. Same thing back in 2009 when KP was protecting his valued capspace and was passive (for him) in that draft prior. He then struck out on his FA (Hedo) and essentially wasted that draft as well.
