MettaWorldPanda wrote:Like contract said above. Giving Duncan a 3 year deal is malpractice. You all want him to continue backing up Herro or playing alongside him forcing the worst defensive SG/SF duo in the NBA? Or is it for the feels of sitting on the bench or continuing to eat into JJJ or Larrson’s minutes? Give him a S&T to Detroit and we’ll take back a 2nd and trade exception. Similar to Strus signing with Cavs

5 guys have been trying to shove it down everyones throat how much "Spo and Bam love Duncan" to try to make this extension happen. We need to thank him for his services and let someone else pick up the tab.

The market can have him.

That would be insane. That would be malpractice. That would be incompetence.


They don't really have much playmaking or shooting from the bench. I don't think you can just rely on a 19y old rookie to bring that.

I am not the biggest Duncan supporter, but they do need someone who can space the floor and make the game easier even when KJ25 is playing, hope they get someone else but it does make some sense.

You don't make poor signing decisions to alleviate a short term roster problem. You can fill those roles with other players. The contract though lingers on the books for years. We're literally freeing ourselves from that hell right now with the same player. Never ever overpay guys out of "necessity". We've had this guy for years and he hasn't made much difference. Move on.

My backup plan in Trae isnt looking good either. They're expected to sign NAW. They're building around him with defense and pieces that makes sense now.

Yep and Jalen will be back for them as well. They actually have some solid pieces right now and already had a better record than us as is

We want some shooting out there and snag GTJ to replace Duncan, he actually plays some defense and is tough minded too

I like this a lot. Exactly what we need behind Herro. Would also like to sign a real backup Center and not rely on cement boots washed up Love

But somehow people think 2 for 24 for Mitchell was a good deal.

Mia always overpays

Russell stunk last year. Only thing he is supposed to be good at is putting the ball in the bucket and that left him last year. Bad time for that to happen when he was entering FA.

Not that all agents aren’t shady but Klutch is openly doing shady deal after shady deal every year. Same thing getting Lebron his guy for nothing that would cost other teams draft compensation at minimum


They all are shady. You cant compete agianst other shady people without being shady

Lopez, Capela, Horford, Bamba, Bagley. Not a huge market tbh

ALWAYS. So annoying to see those deals beeing made. You can see those are out there but no we must overpay a worse player. Like a Duncan Robinson lol
