That final game of the season when Ish went 14 pts, 8 rebs, 7 asts on 7/11 in a win against us is what sold him to Mitch

Not gonna love it if the plan is for him to be a primary part of the rotation. Big fan if it's vet min PG3.

Real question remains on if we will do anything with our cap space or not. We still need some depth to round out the roster.

I'm fine with Ish getting 15 mpg

I'm assuming he gets the vet minimum which leaves us what 10 mill ?

Makes me feel a tad better. More significant moves will make me feel a lot better.

just after giving up their 2021 pick (8th overall) to Orlando lol that team could be driving right into the disaster zone
It's either 23 or 24 to be fair, and if it's 24 I think it pushes 25 to 26 via the Stepien Rule.

Get Danny Green in here and I'll be pretty happy. Find a way to get Oladipo and I'll be thrilled.

Millsap is also an interesting name, any chance be doesn't stay in Denver?

That list must be old. Nunn has also signed with the Wankers.

Oops, I mean Lakers...

We don't.

Let's move on.


I will seriously, genuinely clarify my stance on this subject: I don't know that we aren't done, but I hope we aren't. However:

Mitch had opportunities to secure us a solid backup PG, someone more qualified than Ish Smith, for a fair price.


Hahahahahaha :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

He can teach PJ how to play with pure toughness. I'd take that.

With us already signing rookies, I wonder if the plan is to remain over the cap. That could mean expanding the Graham deal to include another player, or at least holding onto the TPE for awhile.
