If we get Dinwiddle to play out the string on a lost season plus just one firs for DJM that is an epic failure for this FO. I also have to point out getting out of Dinwiddle's money in the summer means, again, we shed salary for three straight seasons with no one brought in to replace the talent level. This would be a fail of epic proportions. There's no way you can sell that as a win to your star player and fanbase. They won't salary dump the others because they feel like they should get value for them, but they're willing to salary dump their second best player? Make it make sense. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They DGAF. All these losses are gonna be pinned on one guys resume. They see which way the wind is blowing. They gonna let the player shoulder the blame while they sit in the other owners faces laughing about not being able to build a winner with him. And gonna revel in all the pats on the head for helping the Lakers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do that to Trae, that's nasty work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You agree Dinwiddie has zero value - just expiring filler right? Just trying to see if we are on the same page here. (As an aside, we are $10M under the tax line and Dejounte is on a great value contract so we definitely don't "need" to get out from under his deal like we did with JC or Huerter.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's next season's salary. DJ's $24 mil for next season they are getting rid of. But yes.....talent out to save money. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I know how. It's because the (cl)ownership never died. Bring back the A$G! Atleast they didn't pretend to be competent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Sothron Posted January 26 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 26 If @Mikey is correct this Lakers 2029 FRP is some kind of platinum level of currency to other team's when we could use it to bring in KAT or Zion. Anything less than bringing in a star in the offseason means I'm emotionally out as a fan until Ressler sells the team. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrell Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 (edited) 4 hours ago, GameTime said: Expect another underwhelming Atlanta sports move like the Raheem Morris hire? I like the Morris hire.. Sick of all of the flashy "young hot coordinators"... Dude has HC experience and hes coached on both sides of the ball.. Won a SB as DC.. I think he deserves another chance.. He Got a bad wrap in Tampa after they started tearing down the team imo.. PLus they announced He and the GM reports directly to Blank... McKay no longer in football operations... He can stick to scheduling concerts and shit.. lol Edited January 26 by terrell 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Popular Post Jody23 Posted January 26 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted January 26 We're supposed to believe that DFS and Caruso have the same or more value than Dejounte? Again, something ain't quite right. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jury is out on the front office until they get to work for someone who isn't - "Frequently" (his term) talking with them about basketball things (2022 interview w/ Kirschner) - Openly and consciously per his own words sending mixed and/or cloudy signals as to his attitude about paying tax (2022 interview w/ Kirschner) - More "impatient" (his term) than anyone else among team leadership (2022 interview w/ Kirschner) - So impatient that he confesses embarrassment to have only learned what he learned in the 18 months between promoting his former GM to VPoBo and firing him (2023 interview w/ Schultz) - Predisposed to lying as he feels led to tamp down the real story in favor of one that puts things in a light he prefers (2023 interview w/ Schultz) - Predisposed to invite criticism of the front office's leadership (2023 interview with Schultz) and to intervene if the top basketball decision-maker isn't satisfactorily bowing to others' preferences (2023 interview w/ Schultz) - Challenging his front office's ideas (2023 interview w/ Schlutz) - Injecting into the war room the owner's son--how weird to have an eyes-wide-open mole--and, related, who isn't - So self-UNaware as to believe that everyone loves the mole's presence while in the sentences just before (s'helpme) indicating that anyone who said otherwise isn't with the team any longer (2023 interview w/ Schultz) - Fickle (both interviews) - Duplicitous, words that claim one priority, and actions that are consistent with a different priority (interviews combined with reality of the facts of what decisions were made) Landry and Kyle may be great. They may be average. They may be piss poor. Hard to tell... after all, they've been commissioned to sail a ship under that kind of boss. Sad, truly, because the boss really does want to win, I believe... he's not lost at very much in his professional life if his wealth is any indication, and that's clearly a plus for any front office. But bottom line and based on the indisputable evidence of recent years, that highest priority isn't winning on the court, but winning on the spreadsheet. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me guess yall wanted old ass Belichek who hasnt done anything right since Tom Brady left? Or did yall want the next hot Coordinator wth no HC experience again?
