    If he's in your roatation in the Playoffs you have a Problem. He just isn't good enough for a playoff Team. He can do a Lot of Things,
    but none of it is good

    I don't remember him in college, but it makes it sound as if he was largely a "system" player, stepping into the vacancy left by another underwhelming system player. It's like Duke for the longest time, cranking out top collegians that didn't have much impact as pros.

    I get it. The important part of your quote is that he's Canadian. So.... he counts as TWO white guys. I see what Neil's doing now :)

    $18million a year is a fair deal for Capela. He’s very good.

    It's 16M + bonuses. Even better for Houston.

    Bucks are just looking to bring shooters to surround Giannis with. Pat has a good shot, he won’t require big minutes and he’s cheap and there aren’t many good players available in the free agency anymore.

    I think Pat will play the Dellevadova role for the Bucks...defensive pest who won't need to shoot much

    Especially after Olshey already locked up two of the best FA shooters.

    I still like the idea of Kofous and a second or two for Turner and our 2019 1st.

    Attach Swanigan to Meyers with a second if needed at the draft to a team with cap space, and we have $14M in cap space.

    Signing Tyreke would be awesome. It would give us multiple options. #1 - Bring back Aminu with the room exception and boom:

    Lillard (36) / McCollum (12)
    McCollum (24) / Evans (12) / Trent (12)
    Evans (20) / Harkless (20) / Trent (8)
    Aminu (30) / Harkless (10) / Collins (8)
    Nurkic (30) / Collins (18)

    OR

    Trade McCollum and Nurkic for 3 firsts and enough cap space to sign Cousins. Still bring back Aminu with remaining space, and sign Curry to the Room Exception.

    Lillard (36) / Evans (12)
    Evans (18) / Curry (30)
    Harkless (22) / Trent (20) / Evans (6)
    Aminu (30) / Harkless (10) / Collins (8)
    Cousins (30) / Collins (18)

    That team plus two or three firsts is a great situation.

    Who woulda thought that guys like Connaughton, Napier, Vonleh, and Stauskas would get contracts (albeit the minimum), but Jahlil Okafor remains without a job? Dude put up 18/8 his rookie year as a 19 yr old.

    Meyers can shoot the three ball.
