It's why they're getting George for nothing and Houston got Paul for quarters.

Meanwhile we're about to give 11-13 million to a guy who had one good season.

The same empowering ownership that was too cheap to re-sign Harden? That team should've been a dynasty. While I like the deal for OKC let's not pretend their owners are something to aspire towards.

Paul George Dream is over ...
I guess Hayward lands to Boston and ...

Would we want Oladipo and Beverley ?

We keep rising in the East through attrition. No worries, the new Snell deal will sink us.

Joe Ingles is genuinely one of the nice guys of pro sports, and has worked his butt off to get to where he is today. I honestly hope he does land a ridiculous contract, just not anywhere near Milwaukee so I don't have to try to justify it to you cats.

I love it that the League is consolidating to have a go at the Warriors instead of waiting for them to age.
OKC and Rockets will be a handful in the POs, his majesty the Комиссар Adam Silver should be excited.

Yeah, that team literally drafted three better players than any of... curry, Thompson, or draymond in consecutive drafts. With less cheap ownership, they are the warriors right now.

Too much for Ingles, IMO.

This would have been the Bucks. Trust me.

In which case I'd be saying "well he's better than Snell and it'll be like having Dudley back but that's too much"

Like Dudley (and Delly) every time he gets an injury that slows him down at all his play will fall off a cliff. Dat borderline NBA athleticism.

I'm not feeling so good about our inability to get stronger. We basically have Giannis, some decent role players and some hopeful/what ifs. Feeling pessimistic about next season at the moment

Everyone on Presti like he is God. He completely tore apart a team that was in the Finals and eventually would have won at least 2-3.

We're probably going to be a 4 or 5 seed at minimum because we have a top 10 player and Middleton and the East is just so bad. Cleveland is better. Boston is probably better. Washington might be better. After that who? Hawks are probably losing Millsap. Miami? Ehh. Raptors might be better if they keep Lowry. Bulls, Pacers, Nets, Knicks, Magic are all probably going to be bad.

Laughing at the thought of Horst/LED/Kidd pulling off anything even close to what Morey & Presti have done the past couple days.

Honestly who cares about next season? it's all about a few years down the road.

He didn't want to tear the team apart. If ownership is too cheap to pay the luxury tax, he basically had to. That's not on the GM. Now you could argue that he didn't get as much as he should've for Harden but if ownership wasn't cheap, he wouldn't have had to trade him in the first place.

Horst: May I please have Chris Paul please?

Rivers: No.

Horst: Why?

Rivers: Because I said no.
