That HAS to be corrected. It can't be that hard. Pull him from the game every time he does it or fine him or something.

If the deals are reasonable, I'm really fine with keeping any two of the Chandler/Len/Williams group. Just not all 3.

Agreed. It's unbelievable he can't just go up strong when he catches it, if he could he'd be a fine C, he moves on D, rebounds, makes FT's. Thats 12m easy.
Love, Hurts.

I like how the majority of the cost is coming from a tax on non-Atlantans. Trump would approve.

(TLDR: The "tax on non-Atlantans" is actually a tax on car rentals at the airport.)

I'm looking forward to seeing "unguaranteed salary" at the press conference.

I hope its Hayward because F Boston

Then I hope George goes to CLE and LBJ stays because F the Lonzos.

Will be tough to see "cash considerations" pack his things and leave the team facilities.

If he Hayward leaves Utah I don't see him going anywhere but to Stevens' arms, although you never know.

Can't imagine George in Cleveland either, but would give the Cavs a chance again. Boston, on the other hand, would be extremely interesting, above all if they add Hayward or another piece.

They've made like 5 or 6 of those trades recently. They sent two of them to the clippers, but clearly positioning for another move. Zach Lowe, I think, talked about a potential Paul George trade built around those non guaranteed contracts, Eric Gordon, draft picks and Clint capela. Mentioned that Indiana probably wouldn't be interested in capela and they'd need to find another team. Would you offer up a young piece or draft pick for capela?

Capella kind of bring to my mind, that long tradition of players looking so much better than they are because D'Antoni's system was generous with them, then go back to earth, even crash & burn, as soon as they leave the team.

I would. Still very young and improving. Would consider Warren or one lotto protected 1stR, plus change in their favor if needed. Problem is his impending new contract would be tough flexibility wise.

Are you aware that FIFA banned people for starting such screaming on stadiums? JK :lol:

I'm not dismising Mike, not even Capella, just pointing out that probably the asking Price, even if it looks fair, would turn into a bad deal.
