He's a blackhole but he's young enough to be molded. Fwiw -- It would take the max to make Orlando pass. If you go this rout and we do lose LMA you start Aminu at PF.
He would be a perfect contrast to Aminu and a floor stretching forward. Wish he could handle a little better and isn't much of a passer but that is what's left. Defense with this roster will be more of a scheme thing rather than individual excellence as possibly only Aminu and Crabbe would qualify as above average defenders.
I actually think Crabbe is about as good as Batum when you add up all his pros and cons: He is a better shooter,the same defensively but cares more,same hustle more or less, not as good controlling the ball (that's not his role anyway),cheaper.
I think the moment LMA makes his decision, several teams will start targeting Harris. Hope we are in the mix.
He only averaged 1 more FGA per 36 minutes than Matthews, who was our 3rd wheel last year, and he converted a good. 50% from 2, 36% from 3.
Offering the max to Harris is officially giving up on LA; having already signed Aminu and Davis, we don't have enough cap space with LA's cap holds to offer Harris. However, if LA officially agrees to terms with SA or PHX, I think it's likely that Olshey will be offering max to Harris shortly thereafter.
We should offer it now if we're going to do it, and get it over with, as to whether Orlando matches or not.
Yea, it's also giving up on Lebron. If we sign Harris we don't have the cap space to sign Lebron. Come on now, LA is gone. We offered him Monroe as a running mate and he went to silly meetings instead.
Yeah, 'cause that's TOTALLY comparable. Dame wouldn't be flying down to LA if we weren't still tying to keep him. Until it's official, Neil isn't going to do anything to eliminate the possibility. Is that really so difficult to grasp?
Think of it this way: LMA is already jealous of Dame and all the attention he is getting, do you really think he will re-sign after their conversation and make Lillard the big hero? HELL NO!
D69 and I were talking about that very thing last night. LA's return would be celebrated but Dame as the rescuer would be celebrated even more. Not sure LA's fragile psyche can handle that.
He looks shy and humble but he suffers from the Kobe-complex. He wants to win a championship but he wants all the credit and all the spotlights for himself. Should've pushed more microphones onto his face after each game.
Doesnt do any good. They cant sign an offer sheet yet. Have to wait until July 9, and then the other team has 3 days to decide to match.
Wow, this sounds like a rehash of 2 Samuel with LA as King Saul and Dame as David. The narrative fits really well.
