This is obnoxious. They have 4 6’7 plus guys on the court. And we are running the super small Gabe and Lowry lineup.

That would cripple our cap for a half decade or more.


Doesn’t it mean he gets off the cap? Or is it a waive and stretch kind of thing?

I though stretching him is what you meant. For now at least there is no amnesty. Maybe when they ratify the next CBA.

He had one NBA skill but now he's "expanded" his game so he's no longer working as hard to get those open 3s since that's not his only option and it's hurting him and the team. If I'm the other team any time he attacks the basket it's a win.

I won’t even give him that tbh. He was trash well before they spent that summer trying to give him skills to expand his game. In fact him being such a disappointment that season was WHY they worked on other things with him if I recall correctly.

Max must’ve heard you.


I honestly think the worse thing to ever happen to Duncan was Max blowing up when Duncan was in health and safety protocols. The guy never got his confidence, or mojo, back.

Struss just needed those couple free throws to see the ball go in the hoop, and now he is automatic, whats the saying do not foul a 3pt shooter, you get them in rythm.

Since the 2 3s the first 5 minutes of the 2nd, Miami's put up another 4 3s in the next 4 minutes, up to 6 3s in the 2nd and 16 3s for the game.

We gotta let them fly indiscriminately. Only chance we have against size like this.

Who cares. Better then playings shrimps. He’ll figure it out

They shouldn't have then. He was a 26 year old one NBA skill player with very little skill outside shooting 3s, it was a huge mistake to go away from that one skill.

But you upset the rest of the players who ARE playing defense correctly and can cause some strife within the team. Once he gets better at knowing where to be he'll see more minutes and be very helpful to the team.
