It's the system. What I hate is contradicting it by trying to trade for vet talent when we aren't there yet just to be the Houston Rockets.
Sure but I don't think they intend to retain those salaries. Had to do it to retain the asset until we can trade them.
Has that opinion not been clear from my posts? Three of the worst seasons in franchise history under his watch. The lack of vision, the losing, the mismanagement of assets, etc etc etc.
Mismanagement of assets? Which assets? Lack of vision? The vision seems pretty clear to me. Acquire young talent, evaluate young talent, build around the best pieces. The losing is part of the vision.
You want me to relitigate every point i have talked about ad nauseum here of the past 3 years? Not sure why i need to provide you a refresher for this. I dont have the time or interest.
Just wait until idiot Joe give Brogdon a contract extension this summer because he didnt manage to find a trade yet again. He's gonna sell you on retaining that salary then too.
You are correct!! My bad. I was looking at Spotrac and that was 1.3 mil in luxury tax space, not the bill. But still the 14th highest payroll.
You want to make some kind of statement like he mismanaged assets and then you won't back it up. That's weak ass soft shit.
That's a brilliant tagline for marketing, they should use it. Portland Trail Blazers The losing is part of the vision! barfo
You are welcome to read through my 50k+ posts to find the answer you are looking for. Hell, just maybe even go through the trade deadline thread. You seem to be so interested, for some reason.
You have no idea what was on the table at the trade deadline. If he had dumped Brogdon for a couple second rounders, would that have been managing our assets well? Why not at least wait to see what happens this summer because I think there's a very good chance that Brogdon and Timelord will be gone. Maybe even Simons. I don't understand what the rush is to hurry through this rebuild. That's the kind of lame ass thinking that Neil employed during his garbage tenure here.
When did Spotrac start forcing you to become a premium member? I tried to look at some salary cap data and it locks me out asking for login info.
He should have flipped Timelord and Brogdon as soon as he got them. Their value has very clearly depreciated. The word that they want to be like the Rockets is also quite worrisome and short sighted. The talk that they want to trade the GS pick seems short sighted as well.
