It’s addressing the whole miserable for the sake of miserable accusation.

I see we’re taking the mob mentality to a different opinion again. Sad, predictable move.

Hey man, if you wanna get all emotional about it I’m here to talk.

I do enjoy hugs but I don’t hold on to emotion with sports anymore since the Packers choked to the Seahawks a few years ago. Put life sh*t into perspective.

We have a lake

Nice downtown.

The Bucks are clearly, as the young people say, looking for the pipe.

Still would rather have Vince Carter than Jr Smith or Kyle Korver

I think we all agree on that.

The fact JR Smith arrived with wife/GF in tow would tell me that those other two guys would rather not have us.

IDK, I haven't even heard anything any Vince lately other than him doing commentary during Summer League. Doesn't seem like Atlanta is going to retain him so you'd figure a team like ours would be of interest.

Give Nehm credit. He asked the question we all wanted answered. They even brought Albert into it.

What I took from Horst's answer was "We worked so damn hard to get Brook and Hill to re-up at the numbers they accepted. Once the Brogdon trade became a reality on Sunday, I wasn't going to open up that can of worms again with their agents for the TPE"

I'm fine with that answer. Brook and Hill could have likely gotten those contracts (or even a little richer) from a number of other teams. Getting those guys to agree was job #1. The TPE was well down the list.

Are we certain he doesn't always travel with luggage & a babe? Maybe further travels lie ahead.

You can still indict the organization for not ponying up the luxury tax in order to keep last year's core together (still on the fence about this), but hopefully this puts all the TPE hand-wringing nonsense to rest.

Cam Reynolds is the first two way guy we've ever signed that I think has real potential to be an NBA role player

Personally don't think the luxury tax is the main debate. The main debate is Brogodon. Should they have let him go for what Indy paid him. Good arguments both ways IMO.

I think I'm less salty on it because of those three draft picks. I had assumed that if we let him walk, we were going to reject matching a 4/$100 offer sheet from someone, and have nothing to show for it.

emunney · Post #1411 » by **emunney** » Thu Jul 18, 2019 10:31 pm

I still think we should have tried to keep the TPE. It's important, man, and not just in a nebulous Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters kind of way. Not as important as Lopez and Hill, I'd agree. But more important than one of Pat or Sterling.

Can someone clarify, is Bonzie still on a two way?

Vast majority of those made jumpers came in the catch-and-shoot, an art that Reynolds has seemed to master since joining Stockton.

Despite his questionable defensive stats, Reynolds has been able to establish himself as one of the best forward prospects in the G League.

Frank Nova · Post #1414 » by **Frank Nova** » Thu Jul 18, 2019 10:56 pm

Why wouldnt Minnesota want Reynolds on a TC deal atleast? He played some good minutes for them last year. He seems like a trust worthy plug and play that could have some good stretches of run. I fully support this and hope to see him get some big boy time early on.

Im just going to read your posts in the voice of Dennis Reynolds from now on.

JR at Kopps? Signing imminent or is this what millionaires do when they get the munchies?

Looks like Ronald Dupree next to him.

RE: JR Smith. We're barely two months out from watching previously unplayable* Fred trash van **** vleet bomb us out of the Eastern Conference Finals. Do I think JR is probable to do that? No. I bet Fred couldn't even do it again. But I'll take getting the chance to try with that roster spot.

*Or so Raps fans said

JR must be looking for a house. Welcome to Milwaukee.

Frank Nova · Post #1419 » by **Frank Nova** » Thu Jul 18, 2019 11:26 pm

All JR has to do is go into the situation with a mature attitude and ready to work and everything else is like riding a bike. Don't kid yourself by just being a hater acting like JR isn't a crazy talented player. If he still got some juice he's probably the best SG on our roster. Whats the problem?

Lol...

Well, sure, if he has reached maturity. I dont know if he has or not. I think its a good gamble though. If hes a locker room problem he gets removed.
