You’re not wrong … though it doesn’t include the Good choices made — Clingan, Deni, Toumani, Sharpe, Scoot. Some of those are “incomplete” as a grade or soon-to-be pending next contracts. Simons and Grant’s contract were longgg but not awful given today’s dollars and % of cap. Ayton’s — in the context of Nurkic at PHX — looks a bit better with IND doing the max RFA offer. A healthy Thybulle hitting 3’s doesn’t look so bad. (Dallas wanting him for the old MLE money doesn’t justify the $$$ AND he is a good team defender.) I won’t go on playing devil’s advocate on each … The collective moves of Cronin — and it is his roster, now — mean this summer’s moves are HUGE. This cannot be overstated. He does NOT have to win trades and moves BUT he cannot lose his mind by retaining current vets who will not be starters soon enough (anywhere near their current or higher $$$).
