2019/20 Players' Transactions: Breaking News , Trades, Free Agents, And Rumors

i'm not sure i agree it's semantics. we'll revisit in one year. if paul george and lebron are here, this will all look like genius in action. if not, well...

 

I would have loved George Hill here next year, but if it's giving a 31 year old, injury prone guard almost $20M per year for 3 years or having the self-imposed 1 year limit, give me the limit 100 times out of 100.

 

I think there an opt on the 3rd yr though

 

i've said already that i understand the risk with that one. although i do wonder whether a 2-year deal might have swayed him. i mean, he went to sacramento. that's like signing up to punch yourself in the nuts daily for three years.

 

this is another hurdle Deng uselessness and his contract has caused this team....w/o his contract mgmt. could've been more open to doing 1 multi year high lvl deal like Dung's deal

 

i just think that ultimately the 1 year limit is smart in this free agent class. Even if we miss out on Paul George (and Lebron, though I'm not high on that route), I still think we made the right decision. We need to see which 1 of our young guys look like they'll pan out before throwing big money at positions that we may be set on for the future.

it's frustrating watching players go left and right while we've done nothing, but there was nothing we could have done this offseason without sacrificing our future.

 

they already sacrificed one future with Dlo, lets not ignore that regardless of how we feel bout Dlo

 

I was as big of a supporter of DLo has anyone. his jersey is the only sports jersey that I've purchased in the last 15 years. When i first heard about the trade, I was ticked off. But as talented as I think he is, I've always questioned his head and his heart. I made excuses because i WANTED him to be great. At this point, I'm cool with taking the cap space next year and seeing how Lopez fits here. I don't think it's a question as to which player will have a great impact on W/L total. I think you'll see a better DLo this year in Brooklyn, but he needed this as a wake up call.

 

What does this mean, what is Klutch?

 

bid on noel, kcp. george hill. there were chances to improve is the point.

the other thing folks are ignoring, imo, is that the young guys are being set up for failure right off the bat. this was a problem in the previous regime, and it's definitely continuing. we brought in a coach who wants ball movement, player movement, and shooting. we brought in a pg who can't create his own offense but fits that philosophy. then we surrounded him with guys who defenses ignore off the ball.

i'd argue that the reason russell didn't live up to pejoratively invoked sports science piece is that it's hard to be a passing wizard when nobody can score. ball's now facing that same issue. are we going to be disappointed and have to attach him to deng for a dump next year?

 

Ball's vision is so blatantly superior to Russell's that it's an invalid comparison. Again, I'm a huge Russ fan, but he could mostly just pull off some flashy passes. He wasn't a step or 2 ahead of everyone else on the court the way Ball is. Have you watched his passing highlights? A lot of simple passes, but he sees them before even the receiving teammate knows he'll be open. It's not even close.

 

Have we not l learned anything from the MOZ and Deng deals?

 

Or goodwill
