I think we're right at the tax line, if not above it - so yes something will happen

I remember watching a interview and he said the best thing about him is his strength. Maybe we see him a small ball C/SF.


That would be interesting. But we got other guys who can do that too. LOL. That's why he's pissed at being picked by us. lol.

He's gonna have to fight or be in the g league

Nah. CMB is coming off the bench for a year or two, as would any player picked at 9.

CMB is an excellent player, just not for us! He’s not the BPA if he can’t get his game off because the guys around him don’t fit with him.

masai's cooked as a roster-builder. their flawed-ass vision doesn't get that you can't win 90-88 anymore

I don't know and I'm probably wrong but I think that not taking Bryant is going to haunt us.

To be fair we won the title in 2019...and then ran it back without Kawhi and had a decent season. It has just been a rough treadmill since then.
