Re: Motor Keeps Going: The Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Thread III
Sign him up now imo.
There is no reason to wait, he's only getting better and will cost us more this offseason.
Letting the market dictate his value seems like the right idea but our FO probably wouldn't match.
I'd rather pay MKG 5/75-80m than TT.

A million times this. He's the best player on the team. Offer him a Hayward contract now, since we can't offer a 5-year deal below the max till next summer.
investigate Adam Silver

Can't do this frequently if teams don't respect the perimeter game. And god knows we don't need more defenders in the paint. I'm all for Cody getting some 3s in.
Yeah... outstanding defense from defensive juggernaut kenneth faried and the steel curtain denver nuggets![]()
my point still stands that zeller never should be in a position to put the ball on the floor more than once ever
this really is the kryptonite play for bad defenses/defenders

Do you guys really think the FO would let him walk next season?

I highly doubt they will. Realistically, there won't be a better player we can sign for the money we'd spend on him.

MKG hashtagged one of his tweets with "#M3K".
Does that mean he's working on his three-ball?

They would trade him at the deadline before letting him walk for nothing, I imagine. I think the most likely scenario is that he is simply re-signed.

Re: Motor Keeps Going: The Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Thread III
The best player on our team for 13 million a year with the cap going up is wonderful. Especially if he starts hitting corner 3s.
