Have to think we just didn’t want him or that Paolo beef became a real thing. 9M AAV is amazing.

Ty Jerome kinda hit Grant Williams status for me after that exchange we overheard with Paolo. He can put up whatever numbers he wants while front running, but I just see him as a little b**** now and have no interest.

We were the first team to make a deal in the offseason.... Made a deal for "our guy" in the draft...other than Paolo's contract.... There is probably not a ton to "expect"most of the players we are going to target will be players who could not be picked up because there is only so much cash available. If you think it's the jones brothers etc. they aren't getting scooped up day one. Well... Tre might if they want him to stay in Chicago.

people are just used to previous years when barrage of deals starts to get posted once it is legally allowed to sign players

Nba clamped down on this year

I think we do not want to give that kind of money to one player. Probably looking for $5.5m or less.

This is going like last free agency. Weltman will end up signing his own players after he strikes out on everyone.

Weltman has been extremely active this entire summer and deserves his flowers. Let’s talk ish AFTER all the dust has settled.

Yeeha this for me. I'd rather spend $9m on a pile of garbage. Ty Jerome stinks more.

I'm starting to wonder if Duncan is the guy..

I'll always remember Otis Smith's "bargain hunting" quote that one offseason. It wasn't quite "I like this team," but it still stuck with me as an impatient young man wanting to see some major action.

Weltman likes Michigan players. Otis would only scout the Warriors players.

He isn’t a criminal… y’all would rather lose with Cole than win with an a-hole. I’d get it if we were talking about Miles Bridges but we’re not…

I never knew about this until today and yeah, I can understand it.

I wonder if Franz and Paolo’s 68.4% usage in the playoffs is a turn-off for free agents?

Well I don't know where the criminal/Miles Bridges thing is coming from, or even the Cole thing either. I just don't like Ty Jerome. He undoubtedly had a really good year, but I don't believe in him. I think he's a little b-word frontrunner who was on a soft frontrunning team, and his career when it's all said and done will not look like the season he just had. I could be wrong, of course, but that's just how I feel about him.

Does the FO add a legitimate starting (scoring) guard to the roster this summer?
