Woj says he was offered the max. Quick is a shithead outsider working for a company about to lose their TV contract with the Blazers.
Could be both are true. "We'll pay you the max, but if you want to play with Howard and will take a little less, we think we can make that happen. "
I think that's true, yes. Quick maybe assumes the lower amount because it's out of the bag that we're also going after Howard.
Yeah, but that's not what he said, or certainly not what I read. He said people suggest that playoff teams should get to subsume (absorb [I had to look it up]) players of the teams they defeat, like a conquering army adding the survivors of a battle to their existing ranks. As though we could have taken CP3 and DJ with us into our 2nd round matchup with GSW.
to be completely fair, no one knows what "Max" is until the audit's done, the cap is set and the moratorium's lifted. Unlikely not to within the million or so that could change a contract from 4/96 to 4/94.
Ahh, I think he meant it the way I meant it. But I suggested once that there shouldn't be a trade deadline for exactly this purpose
You know what? Fahkeet! I was against this stupid plan, but now i'm all in on the Howard-Parsons wagon! let Paul Allen worry about paying these dumbass contracts and Neil worry about trading them for rough diamonds in (the likely) case they'll crap the bed. Let's make next season interesting and unpredictable too! Neil is playing like an NBA 2k gm right now lol.
The downside of getting both Parsons and Howard is getting our bench...looks like Montero and connaughton are getting some minutes next season...we aren't going to have the depth we had last season, that will hurt...
Like Cole Aldridge. So many fans now want him after we played the Clips. No one to my knowledge wanted him before.
Not the depth but certainly a stronger starting 5 and with that group, I think you would be able to add some solid pieces inexpensively.
