I just mentioned the rights to Jonah Bolden.
So Jonah Bolden or Khyri Thomas is gonna come in and take minutes from Mo Harkless and Zach Collins as rookies and this is a better team?! Hahahaha! Haha!
So Donovan Mitchell didn't help out Utah this year?
Nothing is going to make us a contender next session.
Then why are you so against breaking up McLillard
Trick question, we already have a better roster than the Pelicans. Firing Stotts is the answer.
I'm not, you're suggesting awful deals for both though.
There was a giant hole in there starting lineup at SG... there were minutes for the taking... also Mitchell was a lotto pick... you are comparing apples to oranges
I’d be ok seeing what a new coach could do, even tho I don’t think any coach could make CJ pass... unfortunately Stotts will never be fired because he is a nice guy
You psychic Bro?
CJ did say he was going to work on his passing this offseason. He said he has to get better at the pick and role. That's a good thing.
Between Bolden, Thomas, another pick in the mid 20's, other trades, and the tax-MLE I believe there would be ways to make this team much better. If just one of the 3 rookies is a home run then we are looking pretty good. Bolden has been playing professionally so he wouldn't be a typical rookie. There is just as good of a chance of that happening as whatever draft pick we get being better than Dame.
To add to this, if a guy like Khyri Thomas turns out to be really good then THAT allows us to trade CJ to balance the roster because we would already have his replacement and could just take the best deal. In most of your proposals are SG and SF situation would be worse than it is now and having bad wing play is something I think we can all agree with is hard to overcome.
Logical.
You think a team is going to downgrade their draftpick to take on ET’s atrocious contract?! Wow... just wow
No, but I wish...
Blazers could give a team #24 and the still wouldn’t take Turner
His problem is more or less how much he makes not how good he is. He’s a decent defender, his 3 pointer is ugly but the % went up, and he does have a decent post game too. I don’t think it’s likely anyone takes him while he’s making that much, but if he was making Moe Harkless money our perception of him would be totally different.
True... unfortunately Neil gave him 18 mil per when there was no competition for his services
Now that is true.
I don’t get when teams do this type of thing, sports are about competing with the other teams / players out there not yourself. It’s like when some GM in football decides to take a flyer on some guy in the 1st or second round that would’ve been there in the 4th. Except in this case you could’ve got ET for probably 4-5m less a year (maybe more). Or Meyers Leonard for like Lochness Monster(that’s $3.50) type money but... we’ve been over this a million times.
Nope, and we shouldn't try that either.
I appreciate that you gave it a shot when others just say something (what?) needs to be done but it definitely won't work under the cap (which it looks like you figured) and that is part of being a GM.
