I blame Casey for not giving him more minutes. He's made it clear he wants a bigger role.

"Even the most fickle are faithful to a few bad habits."
Some jump back to a perspective they feel most comfortable with, even though reality is showing something different.
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'

The market for Ibaka was lukewarm at best. What other offers were even out there?
The market for Lowry and PG's in general has cratered. What other team has a big offer on the table for him?
We were able to offer DeRozan the most money/term.

What was a lie that I posted? Do you have some inside info on the offers Ibaka got or something?

Re: Tucker signs with the Rockets (4y/$32M)
Warriors will destroy the Rockets in 4 or 5...
Wouldn't surprise me if the Thunder and Spurs beat them in the 2nd round just like where he lost this year...
Funny thing about Tucker is he was so underrated he's become overrated

join a team with a large fanbase and presto! - overrated well done.

It's usually the players who are perpetually underrated, then blow up, that are then seen as overrated.
Aka Jose calderon before Colangelo extended him.
I think for the price, he was perfect. Really impactful. But ah well, we're not playing some grind out boring ass style in the playoffs anymore...
Actually...
