Wait until next year when they have to be under the 1st apron too.
It's not terrible of an owner to want to stay out of the tax, at least he'll spend up to the tax line, there are owners out there who won't do that and will sell off players to make a bigger profit while being under the tax.

J. Richardson - B. Adebayo - C. Martin - D. Robinson - H. Highsmith
That unit had a defensive rating of 64.7. It is the most played unit by Spo. It was absolutely smothering Rozier and Ball.

Nah time to put that pride to the side and go all in for Jimmy.
I think our FO unfortunately have gone passed the all in for Jimmy phase. He just doesn't have enough juice in him left for them to put their cards on the table for it anymore. Its a transition bridge to winning with the next crew, hoping to pull it off with what we got this year would be there hope but not an absolute. As a fan it sucks but that is what I feel like FO is in as headspace. They like their Bam, JJJ, Jovic, Herro core moving forward. with players like Duncan, JRich, Highsmith, Caleb filling in the rest.

When did we ever go all in for Jimmy? The closest I can answer that is spending 180 million on Lowry and Duncan, that to me is not an all in move, thats more a of an incompetent borderline neglectful move.

Never said we ever did go all in, I am saying that time to go all in has expired, this should have happened long ago, too late in the game, Jimmy doesn't have another one of those Super Human Playoffs Beast modes in him anymore for the entire playoff run. Sad to say but his best was last year, and that's not coming back. He is far more injury prone, and a lot less available moving forward.

What's interesting is that this has been said the last few years yet we're about half a year away from him putting up 56 against the #1 team in the playoffs.
His game will and is aging fine, his body is aging too where injuries last longer so if this organization could get a proven scorer in the playoffs to some pressure off of Butler where he can pick his spots to go all out (which also puts him in possibly injury situations based on his type of game), this team will be in a much better position for the next few years.

Athleticism is part of Jimmy's game. He bullies people in the paint. But he first gives them a short burst on initial contact. And needs to get lift to get the shot off. Jimmy has been barely jumping over a sheet of paper this season. You can see it when he shoots the mid-range and 3s. It's why his shots look like laser beams, with 0 arch to them. There's going to come a time when the layups stop going in, and then tweak an ankle again then go out of action for another month, a month and a half.
