I mean we're going to have to have a few projects that can work out. He's a long wing, and a 2nd rounder would have been worth it. Matt Thomas wasn't exactly anything but throwing the pick away so I would have gladly taken a long wing project. His contract is a bit much for what he's shown though for sure.
Oh definitely on Thomas... with our luxury tax situation that $6M salary is a problem if the kid isn't at least a rotation player. I liked him in the draft okay... the idea of him is something we need. Minnesota is not a great place for young guys to develop... its a good bet if the luxury tax wasn't as big of an issue as it currently is.
I think there's going to be plenty of shuffling on draft day. It will be really interesting for sure.
That's good news. I think maybe we can even expect better play from him next year simply from more time in the system and with his teammates.
I think so too… just hope that all the people saying it’s a done deal isn’t because we’ve offered him 3/100M… the pessimist in me just has to be ready for good news to turn to okay news.
Sounds like a guy Boston is ready to give up on. Thx
If the Jazz manage to move Bogey's salary for picks and not a lot of returning contract money I'm pretty sure they will be able to bring back Niang.
Said he would be very interested in Frank as a minimum contract. Basically most of what you've said: Getting out of NYK pressure, relationship with Rudy, shares same agent with Rudy, defensive player who can shoot OKish. Worth it for small contract.
Mostly glossed over Jones's non-ability to put the ball in the hoop. Said he could be an Ingles type with playmaking. Said he loved how Jones played, but that he always seems like he's off balance (compared to a young Hayward in that awkward-looking appearance).
