I'm more content with it though, because he's the one that got that asset for us. But i would understand your frustration as well.
Yep, and the longer we keep these guys, the more tradeable they become. At some point, a boat anchor of a $70 - $75 million 4-year contract becomes a $17 - $18.5 million expiring contract. Somewhere in between those contracts go from having negative trade value to having positive trade value when it comes to matching salaries. For example, at the 2020 trade deadline, Allen Crabbe only has $7.2 million left on his $75 million contract, but he counts as $18.5 million in incoming salary. So, he could be very desirable (contract wise) to a team looking to dump a player making that much on a longer contract - for example a team looking to blow it up and rebuild. BNM
That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying they need to be thinking about it now, so they aren't left with zero options if/when the time comes. NO worrying or panic, but it must be a concern.
Do I know you personally? No, I don't. But, you have a pretty consistent body of work here on this forum and that's what I based my response on. If you don't want to be perceived as a negative poster, don't be a negative poster. BNM
No, I'm not wrong. My perception is my perception and it's based on 20,000+ negative posts by you in this forum. BNM
Nope. Good luck with unity tonight, when half the forum is LOLing at the inept picks and the other half is LOLing at people who think the picks were inept.
Didn't NO quietly tell Parsons to take the Minny offer? I think NO's first choice was ET all along. Kind of like the Bulls when they got Boozer. While all the teams were chasing LeBron, the Bulls quietly negotiated the deal with Boozer and announced it the day LBJ signed with Miami. The Bulls did make an all out offer to get the big 3 in Chicago, of course. For show. I sensed a similar scenario last summer here. Parsons was considered one of the big prize FAs, regardless of his health. We haven't had the draft yet and teams haven't begun to deal. NO has shown he knows how to manage the salaries, I expect he's going to do a great job this season as well.
No it's not. My perception is my perception, just like my opinions are my opinions. They are neither right, nor wrong. Want to change my perception change your behavior - or not. This was your very first post in this thread: And you think my perception of you as a negative poster is "wrong". Really? We have three first round picks in a very deep draft and you're approaching tonight with a negative attitude and already anticipating being "pissed off". You are perceived as being negative because you are. BNM
Your perception is what it is. I'm just telling you it is wrong. Just because something appears to be one way, doesn't mean it is.
Right, you're not a negative poster at all. Those 20,000+ negative posts and you're anticipation of being pissed off tonight have done nothing to create the perception that you are a negative poster. And please note, I did not say you are a negative person (I honestly don't know and I frankly don't care), I said you are a negative poster. Perceptions be damned, you're track record speaks for its self. BNM
