    I bet someone has to fake Covid so we can use a hardship exception

    Let's not confuse cheap with flexibility.

    What’s the point of even discussing Stan anymore? You know our penny pinching FO will just let him walk after his current 10 day.

    sound more like it's about number of positions rather than the money to be fair

    We have two guys who literally don’t play and nobody wants. They won’t waive them because they will still be paying them, plus more luxury tax money for Stan.

    Great D from the 1st all the way through. He was our go to option in the 4th. 10 points in the 4th Q. Dominated Gobert. How the F does Gobert have a single DPOY?

    They HAVE to give him a contract now! He was the difference in the fourth. If they don’t, I will have lost all faith in their abilities.

    Sign this kid now before someone else does, absolutely LOVE how he plays. He was competent on defense vs a 7 foot Gobert, and he attacked him on defense and scored at will. No, he’s not going to do this regularly, but the EFFORT is absolutely consistent and sustainable.

    He deserves to be signed the rest of the year. Lakers should take serious interest in developing his talents. He's got the tools we need

    A microcosm of playing for a contract? I wish LeBron and Russ would play for their contract too.

    Well, he was a lottery prospect.

    Great game, though.

    Need to lock him up to a cheap multi-year though.

    Amazing game. We know what we’re getting defensively, but he was the hero on offense tonight. It’s not just a matter of making shots, but the combination of hustle, aggression, and intelligently picking his spots.

    In his post game interview, he seemed ecstatic for the opportunity he has in front of him. And he expressed how he wasn’t sure if he might be done in the league after Chicago didn’t call him back.

    So I gotta say, if our 10 day contract offerings have gaslit him into a position of minimal leverage, and we end up convincing him to sign a deal that includes a team option for next season, that would be a pretty solid end to this saga for us.

    Between those two videos, I don't think I've ever heard someone say "energy" that many times.

    It was almost like one of Ron's quirky post-games, just much more lucid.
