If every player they want will take their money, that’s really exciting for them. Obviously, THJ isn’t Detroit’s plan A or G….. What do you pair Monk 90+ million dollars for when you invested so highly in Ivey/Cade (and those other guards)
Id also much rather pay to turn THJ into Grimes. And dumping THJ just to hard cap the team by signing Naji feels like a mistake as well. So the entire premise is just something I don’t follow I guess.
Worst case scenario Detroit could throw 2 year deals to DJJr and Naji Marshall, and they're both 10x better than THJr. So no, repeating Joe Harris should never ever be an option again, and as long as Weaver is not calling the shots anymore, hopefully for the entire league, it will never happen again.
Neither of those guys would say no to a 2 years 25-30 mil offer even with a TO for a 3rd year.
So if all better FAs say no, and there are no good trades to use the raw cap space, they still have that rout to go.
THJr is bad money, just like Joe Harris was. Detroit should not continue be the league's farm and laughing stock. What they've been doing is embarrassing enough.
If Weaver is still in charge, sure, that could be a possibility, he is the worst GM of all time after all, and he have done dumber stuff in the past.
