    So this makes the 4th shooting guard that Olshey has acquired this off-season, and the zeroth ANY OTHER TYPE OF PLAYER

    Wonder how CJ feels about all this. Flattered (Olshey likes me so much he keeps trying to clone me) or a little concerned that he's being replaced

    If we use the BAE, we're hard-capped at the Apron of 129,817,000.
    Lux tax starts at 123,733,000

    If we instead carve up our taxpayer MLE (5,603,850) by giving half of it to Curry, no problem, we just keep ringing up salary. If we used the non-taxpayer MLE (9,073,050), the BAE (3,551,100) or a Sign and Trade, they're hard-capped at the apron.

    Wrong way to look at it.
    This year we obtained Biggie and Zach in the draft.
    Next year we're getting Simons and Trent in the draft.

    So, from my POV at least, we've gotten 2 guards and 2 bigs. Balance.

    I don't hate the signing. Butttttt. Why do we want another guard that sucks on defense? Cant we get something different, like a 3 and D shooting guard with some size?

    Jesus. Really?

    I swear, Neil is the Jack Z of the NBA. Falls in love with one certain type.

    Yeah, my guess is unless something else happens this will be with part of the tax-MLE.

    People complain about losing Napier and we may have just upgraded if healthy and people still can't help but throw shade...

    Had a PER of 15 playing nearly 30minutes a night on a team that pretty much runs Terry’s offense.

    I think it's pretty obvious which of those we did.

    I know you guys all think Neil's an idiot, but let's be real.
