    Honestly what he was paid the last two seasons IS his worth.

    Plumlee/Davis >>>>>> Lopez/Freeland

    But for some reason, we're way worse than last year and will only win 24 games.

    Yes, that's why we're so much worse. Because we lost Rolo and Joel.

    That implies that Dame never drives to the rim, and never dunks the ball. Batum does neither, and Dame does both.

    To be fair, Wes' numbers were in low minutes because they blew the other team out.

    This is only after one game and many players are getting used to new systems, but Neil certainly appears to have dodged a bullet by having to overpay for some of those players who probably would not have been able to compete for a title anyway.

    Worth the watch.

    Can you imagine the flames if we would have resigned LMA and he showed up to play looking like that? And then you are staring at five years of anchor? Maybe we dodged a bullet we didn't see coming.

    Been advocating moving Aldridge for a couple of years now. Can you imagine being tied to that albatross of a contract while he gets older and slower? Thank goodness he left. Just wish we could have traded him a year or two ago and got something for him.
