    Because he is a quality player who can shoot the basketball well, is still young, and he's from Mississippi and played for a brief time at Mississippi State.  :approved:

    He's also going to be looking for big bucks which we shouldn't be paying at this point in the 'build.

    And how dare you?  Bumping a guy just 'cause he went to the school you root for.  Shameless.

    ... oh and, on a totally unrelated note, I think we should max out Favors, Shumpert and trade 2 1sts to pry Okogie from MIN. :cool:

    Heh, just like KBToys, I didn't want Buttz gone either but I'm not gonna act like we just lost Auerbach or something.

    Oh and you might want to get the ignore-KB button ready.  We're likely to be heading into at least 2 more losing seasons so, every time we lose, he'll be all, "Bwah, Buttenshoulder would have us in the ECF by now, blah, blah, blah ..."

    Meanwhile MIL will be into their 3rd year or 2nd round exits for .... reasons.

    Cleveland may also not be able to resign Rodney Hood without going into the luxury tax area.  Now, maybe they do it and trade off other contracts at a later date, but if I were Travis Schlenk (which I'm not, as I'm a lot smarter), I'd make an offer to Rodney Hood.

    Why?

    For better or worse (I get it, you think 'worse'), the decision to tank has been made.  Signing Hood is an 'in-between', indecisive move.

    The die has been cast, at this point.

    I repeat. Because that's what Schlenk did last year?

    To be clear, it's not that we'll be trying to make the 2018-19 team better. But it's altogether likely that Schlenk will be trying to add some assets that will bring some additional draft picks either at the deadline or even immediately via taking on bad contracts so that others can add FAs.

    I think it's clear we won't be adding anyone significant as an outright free agent.  Adding some rando via trade ... to gain an asset ... that's another story.

    Haha no I went on the Magic board like a month ago suggesting that they should trade for Dennis. I think I suggested #6 and Isaac for #3 and Dennis. They got mad at that. 

    I explained to them politely that they haven’t had a point guard like Dennis since Penny. That’s when they really started hating me. I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true unless people think Jameer is as good or better than Dennis. Honestly, outside of Penny, which point guard have they had that was worth ANYTHING?

    Anyways, they are double and triple teaming me in there and nobody is coming to my rescue..not even the sleeping ? beauty @kg01. Smh

    Wha?  You s'posed to yell, "Koo-kooooo!!!  Squad up, we got beef!!" ... and we woulda come a-runnin.

    Bontemps doesn’t go into any detail as to which player the Nuggets would be trying to send to L.A. beyond listing the Nuggets tree large expiring deals: Kenneth Faried, Darrell Arhtur and Wilson Chandler. 

    C'mon, Slink.  Get in on some-a this action, bawse.  Get us some FRP's!!

    End game right here. 

    David Griffin was on NBARadio in his normal appearance.  Basically said SAS do not operate in the media.  Their real intentions are done between them and people they trust, i.e. the myriad of former Spur front office people in the league.  The noise you hear is what SAS releases in order to drive up people's price.

    He hinted that PHI with Brown would be his best guess.  Went on a 2 minute diatribe on reasons why then said "... oh but that's just my guess, I haven't talked to anybody, blah. blah"

    The last time he did that, he called Kyrie to BOS.  The next day it happened.

    I was a fan of the Adrien Payne pick.

    But I see too much of Payne in what I've seen of Spellman to get very excited about that one. '

    Interestingly, so did whoever wrote up the NBAdraft.net piece.

    In fact, I see more of Draymond Green in Payne's college game than I do in Spellman's. He'd have to shed about 10-15 pounds to even be considered in that mold from where I sit.

    Not drinking that kool-aid.

    Dang, sturt.  Gotta walk in on a @Spud2nique 'n kg party like ...

    spud is definitely Carlton.

    Seriously though, I'm in wait-n-see mode on Spellman.  I hate hearing guys having to take special care not to get fat.  I mean, you know from like 15 on that you'll at least try to be a pro athlete.  Seems 'staying in shape' should be automatic.

    I did find the hype on Doncic a bit overwhelming. Dirk will be 5th in scoring all time once this season is over. They may as well have been calling him the next Oscar Robertson ( 9th in scoring, 6th in assist ). If Doncic can be as good as Porzingis in his first year; that will be a huge success for him.

    The only way Doncic eclipses what Dirk does (career-wise) would be for the NBA to institute real testing for weed thus relegating the league to the aging, unathletic dudes he's been used to playing against.
