Where did I say I'd do that? I was responding to someone saying that if Jake made 8 figures, Full MLE wouldnt be an option. I said that it (hypothetically) could be if we let Aminu walk and traded Meyers or Moe. Never said I'd do that and it was merely a hypothetical discussing space below the tax apron. You took that and spun it into me saying we should let Aminu walk so we could pay Jake $12M... your reading comprehension needs some work.
NO a normal person says no way Jake is worth 10+ million. You go and say if it takes 12m we can just let Aminu walk.
Dude, your reading comprehension is poor. Youre off-base, and you're trying to argue with me on what I meant. It's ridiculous. Here, let me try to spell it out for you. - Layman is NOT worth $10M+ - I dont think we should dump Aminu to keep Layman. - If we traded Moe or Meyers, and let Aminu walk, we'd have the Full MLE and $12M left over to resign Layman (That does NOT mean we should use all $12M to resign him). Do you understand now?
Well that is not what your original post said. Maybe instead of criticizing other people comprehension skills you should work on your own writing skills and actually type what you mean.
Blame me for your terrible reading comprehension, got it. You're saying I said words I never said. That's not me "Not typing what I mean", that's you making up things I didnt say, and then arguing with me when I try to correct you... Thats your fault.
so you didn't say we could just not sign Aminu if Jake got 12 mil. Then you get all butt hurt because you are getting called on your usual full of your self attitude. You get all defense becasue you have terrible writing ability and the try to come back when you are called on it and try to say you mean something else.
Portland is up 3-1 but no thanks to Turner or Hood. I'd like to see Layman get a shot especially at home. He was one of the biggest contributors off the bench for a big part of the season.
Jake has not played well in the post season up to that bucket really...Stotts has pulled him quickly mostly over turnovers and bricking jumpers. If Jake played better at this point he'd get minutes. Bad time for Jake to slump. Hood gets his burn because of Hood's defense although Hood has struggled on offense
So, ANYWAY... do Layman and Turner need to play together in order for both to be effective? How about trying that out again?
There was a time when they were connecting on lob dunks and cuts and looked good together. Not surfe what happened
Things seem to be working pretty good right now so why experiment? The only game that OKC was in was a game that they were able to shoot around 15 more free throws than us. There will likely be a chance for Layman in the future.
Wait, what? Hasn't played well? In the grand total of 2 minutes that weren't garbage time? The other massive 5 total minutes has been in mop up duty. 1 missed shot? Not exactly a 'slump'. Surprised by that take.
Stotts never trusted him, taking him out of the rotation game 1 outta nowhere was just confirmation. At least he won’t be as expensive as he would’ve been had Stotts managed him correctly.
