the CAA relationship is a bad thing b/c a FO needs to be objective

objectively, Elfrid was a horrendous fit for this team because he can't shoot (and we badly need shooting) and he played a selfish 2-man game w/ Randle. Haliburton would've been great b/c he is an unselfish playmaker who is a knockdown spot-up shooter

Obi is so good though. Let’s just hope the youth show out. It’s our only hope.

He's but a trifling backup and came through for our hallowed franchise before!

i kind of feel they could have just slid collins to center when nurkic sat. or go out and get a wcs or mcgee or someone as a backup. do they really need interior scoring ?

Dude can't stay healthy. Richard brings up a fair point about wings. There seems to be a surplus on the team generally.

i feel that's where you want a surplus though in 2020. lord knows i wouldn't mind if the knicks could do that.

find me the post where i'm defending him

i'm simply not caring about a meaningless signing that's not going to alter anything -- so far the only "payton is going to start" is coming from realgm. no other reports say he's starting.

but hey, dsj ain't getting any playing time anymore .. you can be mad.

Preach

I hate Elfrid's fit on this team as much as the next guy but are we really acting like a 1 year, 5 mil signing is setting us back years as a franchise? I'll take that over some of the disgusting, long term contracts handed out today (or Westbrick). Who gives a phuck.

And if DSJ/Frank can't outplay this guy for a second season, that makes any decisions on whether to retain them easy for the FO

This is a Steve Mills type of move.

It’s not only that Elf sucks but we had 40 million in cap space, didn’t draft a point guard, didn’t upgrade through trade and walked away with the same garbage as last season as a favor to a CAA client

Not sure about you, but it’s been over before it started for several years now, and many root for that

The NBA screwed us with the lottery change. We’ll have the same offseason every year until we win 1 f*cking lottery!

What do you all think? Ban or no ban...

Idk, his fall back position should be that the Elf signing was the news and he was trolling. And if true that would have been a pretty decent troll - so no ban. Otoh ...

It's a 2016 account with ~500 posts.

There are real reasons why everybody's 3pt percentage goes down as soon as they get on this team. and I do mean everybody
