    Well even if it does, if we don't have anyone to negotiate a trade why does that matter?

    his value goes up if he starts playing good defense and grows a couple of inches. It won't go up because Bane makes 40M or Grant makes 30M

    Not even signing a vet min guy just seems odd at this point

    very much so. his salary as a percentage of the cap is lower relative to other options out there. it allows teams flexibility. OG for Ant and 2nds more realistic now

    I don't think Cronin is dedicated to Dame like he says.

    Hey Joe, make some calls about this.

    4 team idea before i call it a night.

    To POR (balances rotation):
    Ayton
    Kuminga

    To SAS (adds the perfect young guard for Wemby on a reasonable contract locked in long term):
    Simons

    To GSW (adds a big and addresses Kuminga's trade request):
    Collins
    Protected first from SA via CHA

    To PHX (instantly saves them close to 10 mil/yr while adding depth):
    Nurk
    Nas
    2 seconds from POR

    We are left with:

    Dame / Scoot
    Sharpe/ Scoot
    Kuminga / Thybulle
    Grant / Murray
    Ayton / ?

    A team for the future with Scoot/Sharpe/Kuminga/Ayton is enticing.

    I've never seen a head coach make so many in-game mistakes, while having an outcry of support from the local fanbase. "Well, he's better then Stotts!"

    Ummmm.... no

    As do I... but alas, ’tis not to be.
    Good to see you back in good form maxiep! I was having a good laugh thinking about the good old days on OLive when you had a troll that logged in with the moniker rnaxiep and got things stirred up. Hope things are going well for you.

    In general, the current coach is often considered to be an awful coach by a sub-group of the fans. Make note of who is in that group and weight their other opinions/takes accordingly.

    Jerami grant is a few inches taller and plays defense and shoots 40% from 3 as well…and his contract value (3M/yr more than Ant) is being crushed in here for some reason.

    Saying this for years
    Not sure it's fair to draw that conclusion. I think it's more a case that he's dedicated to the team and the organization more than he is to Dame -- which he should be -- but that doesn't mean having Dame be part of that isn't a big priority, too.

    There's a few shoes that haven't dropped. Harden is a big one.
