I could use that minimal amount of money.
Well, get in the nba! In terms of the nba, and the salary cap, James Johnson is a rounding error!
And don’t tell me you’re too old…..
but okay, not dictate, but it does seem to me that it says there were no serious discussions going on.
Maybe? But also, it’s really early. Trades just generally don’t happen now. The GLeague showcase will have all the GM’s in one site, so discussions will clearly kick off, but deadlines spur action, which is why it’s busiest around the trade deadline and the draft.
As for James signing now, it’s clear that the Pacers took immediate action after the Bucks fracas where Giannis lost his temper and tried to intimidate Haliburton and the other guys. I would say that’s the only statement they were making.
