I'm happy for him, but yeah, I didn't expect him to make that much for that long.

Has a ROY ever been with four different teams in his first five seasons? That has to be a first.

True. I wasnt expecting his salary to be that exessive. Thats a million shy p.a. what Davis gets and over 6 what Cousins gets.
Could be saying sth about Cousins future maybe?

If Paul Millsap signs with the Nuggets, I'm buying their stock, bigtime.

There is still much uncertainty, but getting Klay in 2019-20 might be our final move for full contending.

Hopefully we can land a stud, 2 way, underclassman SG in the 2018 draft to round out our core so we don't have to give a max contract to a free agent.

If TLC and Stauskus improve on defense and 3pt efficency, we should have some depth at the 2. Redick is a perfect fit to show these guys where to position themselves to get open looks and any other tricks with his experience. Also, Korkmaz has an opportunity to see where he fits and tailor his game at the 2 or 3 spot.

Bam off to a decent start. Showing that jimmy. Dwayne Bacon always looks the part. Ball just doesn't go in the hole enough.

If there was any squad who could use MCW, it was Charlotte to team him up with Malik Monk. Lol. Good match.

I like him. Have to see more of that 3pt shot but a lineup of Fultz/Bridges/Cov/Simmons/Embiid could be outright scary with all that length.

Mikal Bridges should be a terrific SG. He reminds me of Pinkston, they both have great size and quickness. Whichever one improves their 3 pt shooting will be very valuable.

Surprised the Sixers didn't make an offer for Otto, he would have fit perfectly in our core. The reason we let Noel go was to sign a player like Otto.

Isn't he specifically a Forward? Think they're willing to split the difference and spend less on Cov.

Otto Porter is going to be a multi year deal, doesn't really fit with our plan of one year deals

A multi year deal wouldn't have been bad, Otto is on the verge of breaking out and possibly becoming a star. A rotation with Otto and Covington would be great, both good defenders and knock down sharp shooters. He could of been worth gamble?

No nerlens news yet?

Seems like bigs are leftovers or afterthoughts so far.

Agreed if we were going to go for a multi-year deal it would be for an Otto Porter.
