Knox will be a bust if you make him a 3 and we just spent 30 million on 2 4’s. Y’all don’t realize how clueless this FO is.

He might be a bust either way. Also, he's nowhere near strong enough to be a 4.

He’s way too slow laterally at the 3

You wanted KD?

It has nothing to do with KD, or even DLo. It’s the point of failing to understand that the smart move would be to acquire picks by trading for liability contracts. These moves have no upside.

We have 5 picks in 3 years, we ain’t trading for Wiggins to lock us up. Not happening. Wake up

Good statement by Mills

Of course it will be savaged by most here, but I'm clapping right now

Its just BS. They flip there message and plan constantly. At least finish out free agency.

Curious, how exactly did the FO "flip" their message?

If anything, they've been consistent with their message since Perry's hiring. Develop through the draft, don't take short cuts and build this thing organically.

I don't see any flip flopping whatsoever. I see guys doubling down on their position.

I’m right w you. He snags a pick + Okogie from Minny and I’m back with team Perry, but that doesn’t seem to be the plan.

And if you're such an insider then you're basically implying you know for a fact that they spurned that idea or maybe you just don't know that much about behind the scenes and maybe Perry explored those options and got no offers worth taking.

That you would actually make that hash tag is beyond embarrassing if you are hawking yourself as an NBA professional.

Fire Perry my butt. Yeah, that was unbelievably lame of you

Then it's decided. He's a bust. Fire Perry. Fire Mills. Fire Dolan.

Now there's no team option so it's also not fine lol

you and very few are who keep me sane on these forums

We got a young PF on a good deal who fits with our core. Taj Gibson a solid vet for the team, who can also be traded to a contender. #Inperrywetrust

Yep.

Randle at least is on the timeline

You don’t need to overpay for veteran mentorship

The upside is nurturing our youth, and having some vets to show them the ropes and to hold them accountable when they mess up.

Randle is going to take every last shot. We could’ve gotten vets like Carter, Dudley, Amir Johnson and Jamal Crawford. Didn’t have to spend 20 million.

Phil Jackson would have us in a better position then we are right now, change my mind

they can keep okogie....we have frank (similar player)

just give me future 1sts...we are the only team that can take on 35 million to clear that for D-lo...we have to do it right????
