    wait, we were offering schroder a decent-sized one-year deal to back up westbrook, and he took 4.9 from boston to back up marcus smart?

    I don’t think Schroeder had any intention of coming back under any circumstances.

    Too embarrassing to turn down so much money then sign with the same team for so much less with your tail between your legs.

    I think from the front office’s perspective they were being aggressive, but Alex couldn’t be the first priority.

    I feel like if there’s one pattern Rob has shone in free agency, it’s that he wants to do things in a certain order for cap management reasons and personnel reasons.

    Sounds like they felt they let Caruso know they wanted him, but he needed to be patient because they had an order in mind for signings.

    I’ll say it. I wouldn’t be terribly opposed to bringing McKinnie back for that 14th spot. He actually didn’t play half bad when he got minutes.

    i've advocated for him all offseason. i'd probably prefer ennis, but mckinnie's as good as any other name i've seen.

    Not sure about the term 'a deal.' Is that the training camp deal, or a new actual season-long contract? Hope it's the latter.

    I will be impressed with Morey if he somehow lands an all star player for Simmons

    lol; this is his game. Simmons is really good, and he’s going to get less than his real value in trade regardless is my bet.

    but morey’s ego requires that the deal looks good publicly for him even if it’s not.

    I didn’t really watch Summer League so not sure how to feel about this. Feels like a strange move because we could have already used him as a two-way player, so I thought we’d go with another veteran. But I guess we must really like him, and probably have our eyes on another young player to slot in to the open two-way spot.

    There's our 14th man. Now give the two-way deal to Travelin Queen.

    Hmm... guess we'll see, but seems very unnecessary for this season. He's not ready and needs at least 1 full year in the D League. I think he has a NBA game and will translate, but for this team, this year, we still have needs that he does not address.
