Makes sense as to why Bud doesn't play him, he doesn't wanna make his big egos look bad. Appease the stars.
Love, Hurts.

It’s remarkable how close those numbers are. Half a percent is like one or two FGM. It doesn’t tell us anything about who’s better than who.

With the DFG%s being basically the same, the real winners are the ones doing it at the rim.

No one has ever said what the offer was though. Interesting how far off James Jones was from Sean Marks. I wonder what would have happened if we waited until the summer.
Gambo has reported it for a long time, at least since shortly after the trade.

The answer is always the same: You don't explore trading Booker unless he asks for it.
10 years is enough. We can’t be hamstrung (no pun intended) for another 10 years just because Booker wants to play here for 20 years like Kobe did for the Lakers.

I don’t recall him ever saying it was Mikal and Cam or all the picks and never both.

I think I remember reading it was something like Mikal OR Cam, and then three of the four picks, and then Ishbia just came in and said F it and gave the Nets everything.

I just don’t ever recall hearing anything definitive. Gambo was pretty specific here

We wouldn't be hamstrung from one max contract.

That’s what Bradley Beal said.

I agree that we've never heard anything this definitive. Though, it doesn't take much to infer that was what happened.

No Brittney, no Sophie, no Diana, only one Natasha? Who is this team?

Come August we'll probably be saying the same thing about the Suns.

That’s what we said when we got Durant and Beal.

Lol, I'm sorry your plastic face Barbie is gone but she wasn't very good, Taurasi is cooked and Griner is old as balls.

Not a max contract. It’s a supermax contract. Eligible for over $70 million per in his next extension.

And I meant hamstrung in the sense that we can’t ever truly rebuild and build around someone who can actually be the leader on a title team.
