Since KD went to the Warriors and we lost out on big names it's hard for me to deeply care about the NBA right now. I'll get over it, I hope.
And Riley prolly goes for Harkless. Unless he wants to tank a year. How pissed is Whiteside right now after that debacle of his to start the FA season?
I'd be putting some feelers out there with Whiteside to see if he was having some second thoughts and if he wanted to pull a Deandre.
Dude we have a great team that would win at least 50 games this year with no new players. And Turner isn't nobody.
Riley's pretty unsentimental. My theory is that he didn't really want to re-sign Wade for his deep-decline years, but couldn't just not offer a deal to the greatest player in franchise history. So he offered less than he knew Wade would accept so Wade would choose to leave.
