Official: Free Agency and MLE options thread

But you were compaigning for trading Nurkic for DeAndre Jordan at the trade deadline, whos turning 30, whos game is much more athleticism based so it'll decline a few years earlier than Lee and Chandler, who was already declining, who will get overpayed this summer, and who wed actually had to have given up a legit asset for.

 

Encouraging.

 

So you were losing your shit over rumors of trading for DeAndre Jordan because you think he is too old at 30, then you want the Blazers to use the TPE, which essentially pays triple the salary for a team over the luxury line, for a 33 year old that averaged 12 points for a 28 win team... you just can’t make this stuff up hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

 

I don't think either of those guys make the Warriors any better on any level. Howard is known to make teams worse and Ariza has missed his last 3 million three point shots.

 

30 for a player who's game is based off athleticism is older than a 33yo who's game isn't based off athleticism.

You wanted to pay even more money than the TPE for DeAndre Jordan AND give up Nurk in the process.

You're DESPERATE for big names.

 

well there is that, but they have options......

we have a rumor of mike beasley for vet min or in our case, a likely large overpriced contract.

 

No, I’m deperate for a major shakeup to a roster that just isn’t working... you on the other hand want to double down on purgatory by adding even more salary for players that don’t move the needle and have no upside

 

How is Lee going to make us go into more purgatory? His contract expires in 2020 with our other big contracts, and we'll have cap space then. Until then, who cares what were paying? We'll never have cap space until 2020. Lee is a big improvement over Connaughton. You don't take defense into account and if it's not a big name then there's no point to even add them to the roster for nothing.

 

New 2018-19 cap numbers are in.

 

More like makes me hate Neil more. Yes I know he offered 3 firsts, how about 1 first and CJ.

 

Lmao. You people are ridiculous.

1.) He might've offered CJ. Who knows if CJ would've gotten the deal done.
2.) If PG stays in OKC, cool. That doesn't mean he would've stayed in Portland.

 

Doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have either, my problem with Neil is he’s gutless. He doesn’t gamble and he keeps scrubs too long. He will keep this roster together to the end, even if it’s just first round exit year after year.

“You people”?
Quit with the racism, then post.

 

I don't disagree with you, but don't reach just in order to complain.

Complain about reality, not hypotheticals.

 

I am complaining about reality, the reality is Neil is gutless and scared to take a chance so I’m complaining about it.

 

The Olshey complainers are becoming unbearable, and this is coming from someone who can't stand Olshey.

 

I only post once a day about what a shitty gm he is, that’s exceptable in my book.

It’s unbearable how low of a standard you have and how easily yoy can forget an epic failure of a season and just accept status quo and move on... that is truely unbearable

 

Yeah it just makes the best offensive team in the league into a defensive juggernaut....but not any better.
