do they ride in the same plane as you?

 

No sir.

 

another disadvantage to contract labor

 

Haha that’s hella sad. Yuck. To think we’re about to max this bum

 

And what’s that reason?

 

The idea was to have them out there together.

 

Oh boy!

 

Cam Reddish has that margarine Darius Miles/Hassan Whiteside taste where you see some amazing stuff on the court and some star-level attributes and then you look up and your team is getting absolutely smashed on the scoreboard.

Speaking of our friend Darius—anyone getting some serious Deja Vu here?

 

Grant is a really good third scoring option on offense. Look at his numbers he is an efficient scorer on all three levels and at the line, who can create for himself. The guy is also a really good defender, he's not great and Chauncey having him as our ball stopper hasn't done him any favors but it looks like we're letting Thybulle do that now and Jerami is settling in as a really effective wing defender both one on one and off the ball, who can switch onto anyone and hold his own. This isn't supposed to be impressive because we are really lacking in this category but Grant is easily our best two way player. He isn't a good rebounder and we lack rebounding but that's been the case his whole career so that's not on him.

How in the fuck is that sucking? Would I give him a max contract? Fuck no I wouldn't and there have never been rumors that he's asking for that much. Would giving him a contract starting at 30M and lasting 5 years be bad? Nah that wouldn't be too terrible, especially considering what the cap will do during that period of time.
