No he's staying in DEN

He was UFA, Denver matched but he wanted a bigger role.

oh sounds like you're right actually. The wording's been confusing on that

spending

15 on portis
15 on mook
20 on randle
12 on taj
8 on ellington
8 on payton

is the same as

5 on davis (with 2 2nd rounders)
6 on burks

how sway?

There must be a calculator shortage

I don't think the model last season was necessarily flawed, rather the execution/they signed players who didn't fit

if Leon is sitting out FA and signing 1yr vets, it likely means he's looking toward the 2021 draft. the key is signing players who fit, and more spacing

the 1 thing I haven't liked is how they handled the draft after the Obi pick. at 23, RJ Hampton was right there and he has legitimate big upside. I like Quickley (and pre-draft said he was 1 of the 5 best shooters and we should get him), but Hampton is would have been a better upside play. Regardless, I think they should have kept #33. 3 rookies is not too many, especially if this year is about development. there were still some quality players: Tillman, Woodard, Ramsey)

Yeah, why punt on the 33rd pick if we were gonna go this stealth tank route? If that is the case we should have maximized that #33 pick and taken another swing at a prospect.

Not going on in on Westbrook.

Organic tank - those guys arent going to net ou too many more wins

We haven done anything really dumb yet , we got cap space added some young talent and may still be in rhe running for Cade and company.

Man, imagine still believing Knox isn't a bust.

So pretty much 5/80 for Morris. Way to not take that Spurs contract.

Melo and Toppin is fine if you want the worst defensive rotation in NBA history.

this is not true. Melo played better defense at the 4 spot the year we won 54 games. Also its not true because Randle/Toppin would be a worse defensive rotation

So your approval of Melo and his defense is to use an example of his defense from 7 years ago?

Nice.
