Just watched some highlight videos... I don't get the love here for Giles?

All the highlights I see are people not guarding him LOL


Without Marc he'd be our best passing big easily.

I think we could develop that jump shot and he's mobile enough to not get killed on the pick and roll.
I think that a solid starting point for a 22 yr old to be honest.



Exactly....keen in mind that Giles is the same age as the 2 rookies we just drafted a few days ago!!! take that in!

I'm really curious about our willingness to pay the tax this year. Avoiding multiyear deals is more expensive. If we're not willing to go into the tax then I think we're going to see a sign and trade.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Serge needs to hurry the f... up man. it’s either us or someone else. We have players to sign even if he resigns or not but we need his domino to fall first. We still need another big.

Ok, I'm with that.
Bring back Ibaka or S&T with the Nets for Allen and filler.
I think getting younger this offseason is a positive.

Harry Giles tore ACLs in both knees, doesn't even look 6'10, not that athletic, can't shoot, good passer tho.

Tristan would have been a good pick up for us in terms of rebounding and just toughness inside but I knew he was never coming here and I already explained why. If you want to defend him thats on you.

I wonder if those potential deals included Oladipo and Harden.

The Indiana Pacers and Houston Rockets expressed exploratory interest in a potential sign-and-trade deal to land VanVleet before he re-signed with Toronto, league sources told HoopsHype. The New York Knicks had an exploratory interest in VanVleet during the free agency process.

New Orleans is my bet. Fred would fit there unbelievably well.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

We definitely are not wanting to go into tax because the following year we will be with signing a max free agent and re-signing OG. So they do not want to pay the repeater tax

of course. We need to know what kind of deal he’s going to except and how long. Masai wants to make sure he keeps a max spot open for 2021. We need his domino to fall.. serge is just milking the attention he’s getting from this. I’m Pretty sure he knows where he’s going by now.

If that is the case then I think we are going to sign and trade Serge to get an asset back and get Serge paid.
