    Sounds like maybe we’re negotiating to take Harris instead of picks. I like it, but please just get it done ASAP.

    Jones as a good replacement to AD is Wes Johnson as a good replacement to Lebron.

    Gary Harris is another one of those targets I thought would be a better fit than Lonnie.

    And he went for double the money we gave Lonnie.

    The reporting when the Spurs first pulled the QO on Lonnie to make him a UFA was that he'd have a strong market.

    So I'm starting to feel better about the signing. The other targets we wanted apparently just weren't viable for the TPMLE.

    Lol where is all this money coming from for guys that aren't that good?

    We literally had all these guys on our wish lists for the minimum and they're flying off the board for $8-12M+++

    Is Walker even any better than his taller buddy Troy who signed for vet min? Does Troy play any defense?

    Which begs the question, how much spending power is remaining around the league?

    Very likely a pipe dream, but wondering if we still have a shot at someone like Warren for the minimum.

    (I’m sure as soon as I post this, Woj will announce Warren signing elsewhere for $10+ million)

    Troy plays defence but is poor offensively. If you combine the two, you’d get a good player

    Really intriguing using the mini MLE on Lonnie Walker. Never been a fan. But I'll reserve my judgement to when I see him play. Similarities with THT are glaring, so it does seem we may be on the hook for a blockbuster trade, would be incredible.

    I read we could trade for KD and Kyrie. Would you send AD on such a deal? I don't think it's an easy decision, makes me wonder...

    Liked Jones and Toscano pick ups, but shooting needs to be addressed. Our big 3 lives in the paint

    Starting to think Kobe's influence was super strong on Rob's decisions early on in this role. Since Kobe has been gone, he's
    made some sketch decisions.

    Interesting.

    If we somehow walk away from this with Kyrie and Curry, I mean...

    Again, I cannot stand Kyrie. But basketball-wise, jesus. We will be a real contender.

    I’m not a fan of the guy at all, but yeah, if we come into next season with this roster and Russ, we’re marginally better. If we come in with Kyrie, we’re a playoff team at least.
