Dame asked, Rich Paul delivered.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Are you saying you weren't a fan of trading Bledsoe for Jrue????????????

I didn't think this could get done at the minimum considering what he was looking for in FA, so you can't complain. He is a credible starting two guard.

I just wonder how else we could have shipped the roster with all our draft picks/swaps and cap room. Could we have gotten a player that better aligned and fit with Giannis and his window?

I day dream about CP coming here in 2020 for a single first and junk.

I still don’t know how anyone can be upset at the Jrue trade seeing as it led to a title lol. Yea Jrue wasn’t the biggest piece, but he played a massive role.

This is one of those situations where you think things were a certain way and then you make another move that slides every other move down a notch on the ladder and they all look better because they're being ranked differently.

Now Delon Wright as a backup who can come in and plug and play in different spots instead of being relied on to potentially fill starter minutes it's a very solid deal.

Now Prince there's just kind of a thing where if it hits it's a bonus and if not we upgrade at the deadline perhaps.

To go into the season with a full squad is wonderful. All the pieces fit now.

Tweet does not indicate the dollar amount or that it's veteran minimum so there is a possibility that we made a subsequent move to make room to pay him more

This. Was depressing as hell to see so many people trying to talk themselves into our starting 2-guard being either AJ Green or a 32-year old career journeyman backup PG who just 4-months ago was a buyout guy. Legit 10-man rotation right now.

Dame/Wright
Trent Jr./Pat/Green
Middleton
Giannis/Prince
Brook/Bobby

Sprinkle in Marjon, Andre, AJJ, Smith, Livingston and the two-way guys for garbage time lineups as needed.

Is Brook going to allow him to wear a headband?

Much more likely the the dollar amount was left out specifically because he's signing for the minimum. Not something his agents want to advertise.

Great signing for the minimum, really love his ability to step into a bigger role if / when Khris or Dame miss games during the season too. Cook Horsty baby.

Patty C and Marjon for a cheap athletic big that gets us under the 2nd apron and I'll name all of my kids Jon.

Horst did very well with the options he had. I'm cautiously optimistic about another championship. Will need a little luck, but it's doable now.
