Hard to imagine but Drummond may get another great payday next season.


From who? God someone keep MJ away from the team next offseason.

:lol:
Good one and I am thinking the Knicks if Mitchell does not improve substantially or you guessed it, the Hornets. By great payday, I am also thinking something in the 15 to 20 million a year range. Not a max this time around.

Frank looked pretty good, had some deceptive speed on rotations. Wish the Kings kept him.

Okc likely did this for financial reasons but Frank Jackson has some offensive game and is still really young. He’s definitely worth helping a team that needs some offense off the bench. I’m kind of disappointed we didn’t keep him.

I'm surprised you don't have Collins in your top 5.

I've kept my eye on him as a future Rick Carlisle project. I agree, he has some offensive talent that the right situation might could tap into.

Good frank is good, it’s just that bad frank is terrible. If he could get some consistency, especially with his scoring he would be ok. Don’t expect him to protect the ring though

I think they're talking about Frank Jackson not Kaminsky, nobody is expecting Jackson to protect the ring anyway :lol:

Shouldn’t be a big deal but it’s out there. Sounds like just a misdemeanor possession type thing.

Its an abomination. Possession of any substance shouldnt result in taxpayer dollars being wasted like this. I can understand dealers getting nabbed for certain substances (Fentanyl, Meth, Heron) but this is just burning money.

Caleb by all accounts is a great guy and this shouldnt taint that. Its weed man. Go one state over and its literally legal.

Kind of an overreaction but not really as I am on record that the Warriors aren't a playoff team(well they could be a play-in team, but not a top 8 team): Does Ainge call up GSW and offer to take on Oubre for the MIN 2nd? Celtics get a useful depth wing and a top 40 pick and the Warriors save an absolute ton of money. I get it requires paying to dump a guy they just gave an asset to add, but it makes too much sense not to happen if the Warriors are floundering.

Just putting this on the record now. Others will think of this come the deadline and I'm like Shams --I want to be first.

It doesn't seem to be in their nature to do a reversal like that.

If GS is a fringe playoff/play-in team, how could they not. Wouldnt that save them like 70M?
