Bad for Knight

Hammond's acquisitions so far remind me our '13 offseason for some reason

2.8 for 7 years is a fair hit..

The stretch provision doesn't make it magic. It was 7 per year for 3 years, now it's 3 per year for 7. So it's an equal trade-off. They can be bemoaning by the end that they're still paying a human 3 million per year when the league is populated with robots who play for free.

It seems like the Nets, aka Lasry's buddies and blueprint, are trapping themselves back into a similar darker future, again, because they want to win a few more games now. Alan Crabbe helps them do what, exactly? Win 35 in a couple years to lower a draft pick they can actually keep then and impair their ability to sign fa's in a semi-attractive market? That franchise is a vortex.

I'm a big fan of Crabbe but I don't like that deal for Brooklyn.

How does Knight blow out a knee this time of year? Pick-up ball? Working out? Dude should be resting and sipping margaritas in July, I know I would be if I were him.

Net transaction is pretty good if they really liked him.

Turned Bogdanivich expiring into a first and 7M a year for three years. So in net they are paying him 12M and got a first out of the deal. Obviously you have to take some liberties looking at it like that

The Crabbe trade should have a pick attached. When you take on on one of the worst contracts in the league you need to get compensated.

Crabbe is a good shooter but pretty 1 dimensional, can he get to the rim, pass, rebound, play D? don't think so...

The nets really wanted him but they probably needed more patience to use their cap space better.

Wish we could dump one of our bad contracts on a team like the Nets.

Specially since we did them a favour by allowing them to dump a bad coach on us.

Just saying they probably could've done it and he would be a backup to fill in with Jabari out. Probably more of a need than Hawes unless Monroe/Henson are traded. Maybe could've gotten a 2nd rd pick or two back as well for taking on the extra two years.

Nicholson was a bad contract, Hawes is not.

Makes sense then that we could have flipped him. Be Milwaukee.

How would the Melo trade go down.

Rockets - Melo
Blazers - Anderson
Knicks - Turner, Harkless

Hammond trolling PP with that Afflalo signing. PP has wanted him for years haha.

Adam Silver said expansion is inevitable and they are looking at Seattle/Vancouver amongst others.

Profound23 · Post #1497 » by **Profound23** » Wed Jul 26, 2017 2:54 am

So did Hammond wait until he left Milwaukee to realize its better to sign players to 1 yr 2 mil deals instead of overpaying role players or was it never him?

Now he gets to do that all year round.

But yeah, that sucks for him.

It says at home in South Florida. THat's **** up anyway you look at it. In a pickup game, or goofing around and trying dunks, or whatever. Just sucks. The good thing is he got paid, but sucks for him and sucks for the Suns stuck with that contract.

Pretty much why I decided to stop worrying if something happens to Giannis while playing for the NT
Khris got half his ass unstuck by stepping on sweat in practice last year, and now Knight blew a knee while making a sandwich or something. **** it he may as well play basketball.
