Guess if you call it an overpay? Ayton signed his with the Suns. Simons contract is probably high but not outrageous. Fit's the league for where it's at. Same with Grant. His contract might be a bit high but it won't be considered high next year at all. Thybulle 10 mil? How is that considered high? Got a player option next year but that contract is expiring. All those contracts are only getting better to trade.
They will bite them in the ass at the end of the season, but sure. Yay? Lol. These wins means nothing short or long term. I'm tired of having "2 games a month that are fun to watch but lead to nothing" instead of having entire fun seasons end in heartbreak. This was a necessity to be bad, I get it. But damn, I didn't envision this bad of a rebuild. This is putrid. Maybe in 10 years we will be good again. Maybe.
I get you. I certainly don't want the players or coaches trying to lose. I'm rooting for improvement. Wins aren't going to happen much regardless. Wins now cost us far more wins in the future. No two ways about that.
I may just be excessively pessimistic but I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel barring a really good draft pick. Sharpe - Like the guy but he is not a leader - maybe he could grow into one but doesn't have the "give it to me" mentality Deni - Love his all-around game but he is a key role player Camara - Love his game but another key role player Clingan - Like what I've seen but good supporting piece if you have quality around him Scoot - Mixed bag; sometimes he looks good others, not so much. Seriously question is ability to learn/grow, not seeing a lot of it - occasional glimpses of promise followed by stretches of really? Everyone else, meh (or worse). I will add the caveat that I think there is some good raw ability on this team but that having a coach that doesn't seem to be able to develop players, or coach his way out of a one-walled-room dampens the effectiveness of our several seasons of tanking. I really see no growth as a team from three or four years ago, just as bad (or worse) and no promise of anything better in the future. Welcome to pessimism Saturday.
