Getting Luka for that is insane.

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.

Been trying to get SGA for years and now he is finally a Hornet!! Coming off an MVP season expecting big things from Shai this season. Now no one can call me frugal

Good bye sweet prince. And thank you.

More from me later but for now congrats to Hoffa who finally won his 6 year pursuit.

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.

I think Luka's lite season helped me too Cap...
