Should Stotts have pulled Dame from last game earlier in the 4th?

    You are correct but I think if we had a whole team of manageable assets on decent contracts I think that's where the flexibility to make a huge consolidation move could happen easier. Look at Olshey's trade when he was with the Clippers for an example of that. He traded a couple of his prized draft picks in that one. I would actually prefer a roster with role players being all "Goodwill bargains" then paying guys like Turner $17 million a year. I think Olshey realizes that the one summer he went away from that approach (2016) is the whole reason why he can't make a good trade right now.

    One thing that blows me away about Stotts was that he thought he was actually going to get a contract extension (last summer.) Where we now know that Allen was actually thinking the opposite. I'm for the life of me, trying to figure out what was going through his head that thought he had performed that well?

    Well. Don't worry. We don't have to worry about an overachievIng team as long as Terry is coach.

    It's the same reason he prefers "projects" in the draft. He is more concerned with looking clever than in helping the team win.
