You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Pretty sure we can’t trade Favors for Conley. Favors counts as zero dollars until his contract guarantees, and it’s not like a team option where you can just opt into it in advance then count his salary. So, until July (7th?), Favors counts as $0 in any trade.

Pulling off a swap for Conley would be next to impossible, with the contracts we have, unless you’re ok sending Joe Ingles as part of the deal, along with Exum, and Crowder.

I’m not sure but I think we could either guarantee the salary or decide to move up the date... Favs would have to agree... they move guarantee dates back all the time.

Yeah, but, “if we woulda hit our threes, we woulda won.” Law of averages could be our strategy, I suppose.

Basically, I’m afraid DL is taking the same approach to the team as any wise person would their retirement plan — not checking the amount every day, consistently chipping away by putting money into index funds. It’s a really solid strategy for retirement. However, our situation is more like we have $100k in our 401k, but we owe Deebo $165k next week or we may get whacked. Yeah, slow and steady wins the race, but **** the 401k — life is on the line and you may as well withdraw that, take it to the roulette table and put it on red. Yeah, you could lose it all, but if you continue “slow investing,” you may lose your hand next week.

One of my least favorite sayings of all time is slow and steady wins the race... I have watched many races and fast has won all of them.

The quote is referring to putting in the work consistently over a long period of time. Not short bursts of inspiration and energy. I don't believe the quote is talking about an actual event or competition. Obviously if you're in a race and you just jog around the course with no care in the world, you lose.

That's why its a dumb saying. Then they should call it something else... because a race is an even or competition. I think it comes from the tortoise and the hare... the moral of that story should be "if you are really fast and in a race then don't stop and take a nap dummy."

In life obviously sticking to something and working hard and smart has big payoffs.
 
If I am the GM, I spend a bit more money and get the players we need. While keeping Favs, Mitchell, and Gobert together. Hell with the salary cap. Have to spend money if you want to win.

I think that the salary cap doesnt allow you to spend money on the players we need.
