    Did you read nothing of what I said as to how a player like AR who knows he is HIM and has come from where he has, to always have had to prove it at every level and now HAS at the highest level .... resoundingly tonight with his other 2/3 of a new dominant Big 3 looking on .... would likely feel now being told he can't be part of that as a starter? Plus it means money to him to be an all star (performing) caliber starter over 6th MOTY money .... after being underpaid just because of the rules, and what the team needed for 3 years. All three of these guys will have every chance in the world to handle the ball and make spectacular plays with it in ISO if the opportunity presents, or making beautiful, thrilling team ball at an all star level. AR doesn't need to come off the bench for THAT.

    I bet he and Jules have the same wallet. Cause he too is a bad mother******

    Great Austin game. Joy to watch. If he doesn't have a career night, it's a loss. Plain and simple.

    Props to JJ for empowering him and putting him in this position. f*** Ham.

    I was thinking “How is Shaq not on that list?”

    but I suppose that caveat is “the last 20 years” and time has flown and I have gotten old

    As for Austin, i love that guy. I can't believe we got Luka without giving him up :D
    Best contract in the NBA, we have him on a huge discount for 3 years. He's a player that will fetch you a superstar in a trade... but with the way he's playing, i would have a hard time moving him anyways.

    Agreed…no way do you tell AR to come off the bench.

    Lol, okay

    I was just joking about we would have to start at the first basic step with him and try to mold him into what we want

    He's really raw

    Yeah. But he also throws down lobs, can move his feet some, is athletic and a lot stronger at 250lbs. People suggest partially seriously Dwight still and Biyombo just to come in and deal out some hard fouls on other bigger centers than Hayes, while being able to rebound some and dunk some. Just a thought. I mean he really could be better than he is now in a couple months if they really worked with him and most of all continue giving him in game reps.

    Which should be possible frequently for him and Knecht too .... with the Big 3 of Luka, LeBron and AR running up big leads "probably" pretty often.
