    Okay, just ignore the basketball reasons I listed for not wanting him either.

    I'm not sure if you're joking, or if you don't realize that we DID pay CHI to take him...

    Of course I was joking. I was going to go with something like if we hadn't had developed him he would have become a serial killer. Nothing really fit with the joke that is paying someone to take a guy we "developed"

    That's a little extreme, don't you think?

    Willy Hernangomez. Two 2nds and Layman. $1.4M a year the next two years. Dude has legit starter potential but wouldn't get overpaid down the line with the way the center market is and the fact that he'd be backing up Nurkic.

    Would allow us to let Ed walk if Ed couldn't be resigned for cheap (he's probably better than Ed anyway).
    If we resigned Ed, we could've moved him to PF (he can play with Hernangomez, Willy can shoot).
    Moving Ed to PF means we could've traded Aminu for a pick or an upgrade...
    Or we could've moved Aminu back the the 3 and traded Turner's awful contract (those combination of moves likely keep us under the tax next year too).

    And if Nurkic gets an insane contract offer, we would've have to match, as Hernangomez has as much potential as anyone.

    Would've also liked to see us trade Napier... We can't pay him but losing him will hurt too... We don't have the means to easily replace his production and we don't want to lose him for nothing, yet it's possible he's overachieved and now was the time to sell high. Could've possibly flipped Napier for Hernangomez, and then made a small trade for an underrated wing (Like James Ennis) or a veteran backup PG (like Jameer Nelson) until we were able to sign someone in Free Agency for our MLE.

    There's just something about the way he talks though... Sounds like he's trying to sell bullshit to the fanbase and expects us to not expect anything from him because he doesn't have the options (aka ability) to improve the team.
