I kind of want him to sign a 4 year extension now, is it bad that this is what I thought of when I read your post?
Just wait until next season. We won’t be able to resign all of Hood, Kanter and Curry but we might still be able to find decent cheap replacements. In case of Curry I am hoping Simons can take some of his minutes already, and maybe Little will be able to take some of Hood’s (the rest could even go to Trent). Kanter is needed until Nurkic returns, otherwise we will be forced to play Meyers or Skal though again I have a big hope that Collins can increase his minutes from last season. My only worry is that next year we might actually resign one or two of Meyers, Harkless and Turner. I am pretty sure Olshey will offer Meyers an extension, in the line of $30million / 4 years or something.
The only thing i can say is no way. Live with it for the next 6 months and find a trade at the deadline.
I doubt this happens. Neils pride will get in the way. How can he stretch someone he signed to that contract? Its saying he completely fucked the pooch on that one and i doubt he goes that far into admitting it.
No, the fact he isn’t a fucking idiot is what is getting in the way, not his pride. Taking on 3 more years of dead salary is a brain dead idea, particularly when it’s an expiring contract. I can’t believe people even think this is remotely a decent idea. It is idiotic, at best. Everyone knows he screwed the pooch; including him. He has pretty much admitted so when he said something to the effect of, “yeah I overestimated the balloon in the cap.” For him to say “yeah, the turner contract” is disrespectful to Turner, and I’m sure Turners agent would LOVE his client being tossed under the bus.
I never understand this thinking? In my mind there is no way someone becomes that successful at anything without understanding their mistakes. Successful people see their mistakes and act on them.
Correct me if I am wrong but next season and without the holds of every FA we have (Turner, Moe, Meyers and Skal) we would have about 19M of cap space. Keep Skal hold and the cap drops to 12M. And that's only if we sign only 1 year contract this summer... Do we really want half of this potential cap space in dead money for Turner? I wouldn't. We already have 4.5M (Nicholson, Varejao) in dead money. That would be 11M with Turner. 10% of the cap
Keep seeing people on here posting about how Simons is going to take Curry's place. They are completely different types of players aren't they? Nowhere near similar. And not that Curry is leaving big shoes to fill, but Simons showed just a flash. Do you really think he is ready?
As far as us posters are concerned; that is part of your job to make sure he is ready! (besides who else is there?)
