    We could offer him a $5.3 million. He just opted out of $30 million.

    Does that clear it up?

    I'm less concerned about winning deals, I just want to win games. Danny Ainge is the argument against putting value first in all of your deals. Look at the Celtics now....

    To me, next year is the best chance we will have at winning a title in the foreseeable future. We are in Dame's absolute prime. Golden State won't have Klay and KD even if both resign. The Lakers have 3 players on their team. Houston is at the verge of imploding. I want to see Olshey go for it just one time instead of playing around the margins. He just got a contract extension, his financial security is safe even if he gets fired. If it takes an extra first round pick to get a deal done, well, that's one less Caleb Swanigan....

    Those tweets say to me. If you want me Boston you better open up your wallets more. I still say Boston is the front runners though.

    Cant win games with injured players. BOTH of those albatross contracts are on damaged goods.

    Blake was All NBA third team this year and absolutely carried his piss poor team into the playoffs. That's not damaged goods.

    You mean like half the other stars in the league who carry a massive workload?

    and Boston has the assets to contend as much as anybody if they are able to re-sign Horford and Rozier along with some tweaks.

    So manage his load for the season. Worked pretty well for an unnamed finals MVP....

    A healthy Blake is worth every penny of his contract. If we can work through the regular season with decent depth and have him available for multiple rounds in the playoffs, we would be a perennial title contender (esp if we still retain CJ/Nurk).

    I've been all on board Blake since he got to DET. My suspicion is that Neil is as well after his comments after the deadline in FEB. Only question is if DET is ready to blow it up.

    Man, stop with that. We all know how injury prone both of them are. Now you're minimizing.

    Both of them are on massive, albatross like deals and both of them are very injury prone. These are facts.

    You called an all nba player damaged goods. Not sure you understand what that means.

    Really? Kawhi Leonard played a record 39 minutes a game in the Post season. That's a full 400+ more minutes than he played when he won his first finals MVP.

    He meant during the season I believe. I think he only played 66 games or so.

    He's fucking injured near every season. He may have matured but he's punching walls and breaking his hand. He has an attitude problem and always has.

    Got into a fight with the trainer. Pulled a guy's face toward is SACK on national television.

    He is damaged goods literally.

    He played 60 and people around the league killed the Raptors for it. Worked out pretty well for him in the postseason.
