What's your point? Expecting to get players on massive bargains is unreasonable.

Green left at least 20 million the table, apparently, so ya, not really comparable lol.

Wright is a rookie and 6'5 able to play combo guard - especially with his defensive skills. He's a multi positional guy. We're not going to hand him 20+ min off the bat as a backup .. he was a 20th pick. What did people expect? That Wright was just going to get a lot of run?

Lowry/Joseph/Wright
DeRozan/FA/Powell
Carroll/JJ/Caboclo
Trade/Patterson/Min
Valanciunas/Biyombo/Nogueira

Decent. 50 wins? That should be the goal along with a 2nd round appearance.

nope can see 50 wins.

I think Lowry is going to go. He clashed with Casey and did not show up when he was supposed to. It's also perhaps an opportunity for Joseph to get starter minutes.

Lou Will is so upset right now.

Usually the trade off when you sign a young guy with potential is you pay him a premium hoping on improvement but you also take the risk you overpaid should he stagnate. Here we're paying him more than his current stats are worth AND also allowing CoJo the flexibility to opt out after two years if he feels he can make more on the open market. His agent is amazing, its a perfect contract for him.

someone said it was after two years but I've read online the 4th year is a players option

I wont judge this offseason until its actually done....have any of tou seen Masai come out and say hes done yet? Even right now....youve gotten rid of 2 players who didnt know there was such a thing called defense, moved Ross to the bench for an Actual starting SF. The only thing is Amir is gone, but we needed an upgrade there, so just wait let Masai do his thing, he will bring us PF, sit back and enjoy

Pretty sure its a 4th year player option.

CORY JOESPH IS A BACKUP PG

DELON WRIGHT AS A ROOKIE IS NOT READY FOR A FULL TIME BACKUP ROLE/STARTING ROLE IF LOWRY GETS HURT

Some of you are so clueless i hope the big letters help.

This.

Some of you need to stfu. It's usually us on realgm who start these pg controversies in the first place.

Lowry's contract is pretty good though when he's playing up to his allstar level...I'd prefer to move Derozan because I don't think he fits.

dammit masai, just to get a canadian on the team...too big of contract and the fact that we had other holes to fill makes this look like ****

I don't see it. There's no way we trust two backup PGs to run our team in a league filled with killer offensive PGs..we need Ross shooting because this team is deprived of 3's.. Perhaps we try to move DD + pick. I really don't know what Masai is going to pull to get a PF in here.

DarkSaturn wrote:I like Joseph, but that is a lot of money and really limits options for PF. If PPat starts, that pretty much leaves Ross as the only bench scorer. Probably also means at least 15 minutes of small ball a night.

what options did we have? Enlighten me. David West? Were you going to acquire a PF via cap space? If so who?

More proof Lyin Ryan is a Realgm user.

Look at how he forms this tweet. This?

And we weren't going to be able to get a pf via free agent signing anyways.

There will likely be a trade or two made before the season starts.

raptor jesus · Post #416 » by **raptor jesus** » Mon Jul 6, 2015 3:55 am

Considering what was left at PF and the booming cap, I have no issues spending on CoJo, yet another defensive minded player (I think his offensive game is underrated, as well). I expect Masai to address the hole at PF via trade.

Boogie! · Post #417 » by **Boogie!** » Mon Jul 6, 2015 3:55 am

LOL.... so we just drafted a 23 year old rookie, whos supposed to be nba ready as a backup pg, only to sign another backup pg long term... idk what masai is doing but either lowry is on his way out or this doesnt make any sense... not that i dont like cory joseph... just weird... the positive is that were not signing lou williams... thank jesus for that...

We have his bird rights by the time he opts out, when he'll be 27.

He can opt when he is 25yrs old in 2yrs once the cap does go up to 100m+ Then we can give him a 15m contract! This is what makes this signing baffling ... We're paying him 7.5m but we didn't lock him to actually make it a bargain later on... He'll be out of the contract before the salary cap ever reaches 100m

If we ever win 50+ games for an entire decade, then we'll start to get sweetheart deals too.
