Unfortunately I think losing the value that Norm brings to any team, that we won't be able to replace would mean we are moving away from being contenders instead of towards... so that might equal Dame exiting. That wouldn't be a win as far as I'm concerned.
I don't really think LA signed any true difference makers yet, but I'm waiting on the Patty Mills news. He better go elsewhere or stay in SA.
I gotta think if there was even the tiniest question about Norm, Neil would have been there at 3pm on the dot. I think there's no urgency because it's a forgone conclusion.
agreed, think it's a done deal. Even look at Casey tweeting Hollinger's report about Powell most likely sticking around in Portland. That's no accident.
I’m hoping for Patty Mills. A legit backup PG. Anfernee is obviously on a 10-year plan and nowhere near being a consistent contributor.
Keeping Powell is going to look like a “win” when it’s just keeping one guy who made up the team that isn’t good enough
Or maybe Olshey is just egotistical enough to assume it is a forgone conclusion. Or maybe the forgone conclusion is that Powell is gone and he is just putting on a show for Dame?
I don't think it will look like a win to the guy who said this roster isn't good enough but if Norm is re-signed that's a good thing because it means we have a guy to start at SG if we can get a legit star forward for CJ+
Hardaway 74 mil Fournier 78 mil That's the market. I don't want to see no 90 mil deal for Norman here.
Or maybe Norm has an offer from a team that needs us to facilitate a sign and trade so Neil is making him sweat it out. Who the fuck knows?
