    Anything but Ron's suspension, was/is/and will be a joke on NBA's part. Morant's counseling is it's "best example".

    Russell, Beasley and Bamba are worth a combined 57 million in salary next season if we resign them. That's a lot of room to work with, if they are unimpressive during this playoff run. I have no doubts that we resign them either way, keeping them is another story.

    He may be worth $28 million per to a team not going anywhere. Or, he may be the third best player on a Championship Team that would need Warriors or Flippers money to fill out the rest of the team.

    I'm guessing that Mikal Bridges' performance with the Nets has increased the market for guys like Jerami Grant. It would be nice to have him, but I agree, I think the price will be too high, and we need the depth of keeping as many of our current guys as we can.

    It's the same type money D'Angelo is looking for, 4 years at 30 million is 120 mil. Derozan type of money too. The real problem with Grant, is that he'd have to be a sign and trade, that isn't going to work for us.

    It will be hard to acquire Grant through a sign and trade, while still paying Rui and Austin. In general though, a 2 for 1 isn't going to ruin our depth, to the point of outweighing the addition of another high end player.

    Looks like the mugshot of a guy caught with half-eaten bodies stacked in his basement.

    I think I heard some basketball experts here saying Malik Monk was unplayable in the playoffs.

    monk was unpayable for us, so the point is moot. i don't remember anyone not wanting to keep him, though.

    We have Lonnie, who is likely better than Monk, and he barely plays for us (when he does play, he contributes, to be fair).

    monk's better than lonnie, but again, doesn't matter--we couldn't afford him.

    monk was pretty much the only bright spot on last season's disaster of a team. would have loved to keep him
