He can reach top 3 for sure.

He is a 3 and D, and a mediocre one at that. He's not even that great a shooter. He is not a starting caliber player, much less worth 70,000,000.

Don't care about his tweets. Just become a good pro ball player.

I'm a terrible basketball player. I can't shoot to save my life, it's ridiculous.

 Lightheaded joke goes awry! Oh noes! Political correctness police to the rescue! Now there must be outrage and recriminations and self righteous nonsense from the gotcha obsessed media! Yayyyy!

Kyle was the man during that 2014 season. 

I'm not sure what we should do. I'm glad I'm not making these decisions.

Still feel like we need a good wing player.

Count me in for a new coach and GM

I think having a separate coach a GM is a better model. Coaches get too close to the players, and it influences their decisions. The Baze contract being a good example. You don'y pay a mediocre 3 and D with very limited offensive skill 70 million just bcause he's a nice team first guy. That's not how this business works, and being from the Spurs he should know better.

Why did we pay Baze 70 million? Was Bud drunk or something?

Count me in the tank and rebuild bandwagon.

Thought you were responding to the post before yours which was mine. Anyway, hope we have awkwardly started a few wins in a row now. Happy Holidays.

Ok, my bad.

Not sure who your referring to but almost all of us wanted Al signed. And right now no one is saying its ok for Baze to make that money or even be here at all. But once again it wasn't Al here or Baze here. Al chose to leave and that was his and not our choice.

Did you read the title of the thread?

Al is having a good year. His assist numbers are excellent. He's playing great defense too. Were you expecting Russell Westbrook numbers or something? You're glad we didn't sign Horford, but paying a crappy player like K Bazemore 70 million is perfectly fine. Get the F out of here with your biased homeristic garbage. We screwed the pooch big time.

I would rather pay Horford than Bazemore. Plus, Horford is a tradeable asset, lots of teams could use a solid versatile big. Bazemore is a bench player period, no one is taking on that insane contract. Bud made a knee-jerk signing after we lost Horford, to make it look like we were retaining our guys. Bad move,  let someone else overpay. Pop would have never done this.

That Elite talent has really helped Minnesota!

Why aren't they winning? I don't get it.

I was roundly criticized when I said Baze was a bad signing. I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.

Why do guys light up the NBDL, even more so than they did in college? These guys must pretty good to make it to the NBDL. Yet it rarely transfers to the NBA.

Yes, the way everyone here defended his signing was laughable. He is an average 3 and D, and easily replaceable. You don't overpay guys like that. 

We are in big trouble folks.

Its not Bud the coach, it's Bud the GM. I think Ferry would not have made better personnel moves.

We don't have any guys that can put the ball in the basket. Sometimes you need guys that can just score.

He's a good coach. But I think we should have kept Ferry. Coaches do not make good GMs generally. You need the coach to win now, but you need a GM who can sit back and take the long view. 

We need a big time small forward. Put Lebron on this team and everything will fall into place lol.
