Correct call based on the NBA rulebook but in the off-season they should amend the rule when players are in the other players cylinder

Perk's hot take - Caruso is the Thunder MVP this game.
I will say he's done a hell of a job on Jokic and he looked totally exhausted in the second. Maybe he always looks like that?

3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Seems like Denver didn't ge the memo, only OKC is allowed to play physical defense

They’re allowed to wrap their arms around Joker’s waist all game because they’re smaller, it’s in the rule book trust me bro.

OKC's defensive plan is basically to foul on almost every play and dare the officials to foul out half their team.

It is 40% their salary cap is devoted to Murray/MPJ. This is what they've gotten from those 2 today:
6 Points (11 shots)
3 Rebounds
2 Steals
1 Assists
1 Turnover
Their production for 1 player isn't good enough.
The Murray deal was defensible at the time but still an overpay.
Handing MPJr that deal as an extension instead of making him go get a max on the market in the summer was indefensible.
See I would be a harsh GM because Murray has always been a tease to me even during the bubble and title season. Not enough consistency to justify a deal for me. Plus the question should always be can you get a player to replace what he gives. Imo I think you can.
