WHAT THE ****?????



it makes sense if you didn't pivot to Luka, and Hoffa gave your guy a ridiculous offer.

There was only 4 teams starting FA with a $400 max bid.

Got me a 6th man of the year for the low.. Simons and Clarkson should be a lethal scoring back court off the bench

just in general not just FA. Whether it be trades or signings over the last couple years a lot more talent has moved out east.

I'm curious how you pivot. I figured you would at least give a max 5 year to keep him but seems like you preferred flex and not managing a +600 contract on the books.

Thanks a lot, WEST.

I will say, as a first-timer, that there is a definite learning curve to free agency. I have not quite nailed it. Not done yet though.

The short answer is i blame Joe Lacob. Fcker...

I was about to take a substantive step back either way. Now I get to wheel and deal. No more Conservative Cap.

You can probably guess what's coming for me.

Right. And my pivot that direction would have just been chaos agent stuff.
