FESTUS EZILI A MAX CONTRACT PLAYER?
I give up bruh
why not sign a middle of the road backup SG vet and get Batum and a big and let the pieces that you drafted get a chance to grow?
*scratches head*
DeRozan, Batum, and Whiteside
or
middle of the road backup SG, Batum, and a big.........
This is exhausting.
Couple years ago, a bunch of Laker fans didn't want Kevin Love. But then wanted Melo.
People wanted 30 year old LaMarcus Aldridge, but don't want 26 year old DeMar DeRozan.
They don't want to tank, but they don't want to sign free agents.
How the........?
At some point, people gotta get with the program.
I don't want DeMar DeRozan because he's the greatest player in the NBA. I want him because he is attainable, and adds an asset to our portfolio. (roster) Because he's not over the hill. Because he can play with this core, and give us addition trade chips.
You can't say "just give Clarkson 5 more shots...." What happens when Clarkson gets hurt?
Don't sign this guy, cuz we might want to get that guy.......in 2018.
Yes, don't throw money willy nilly, I get that, but at this point, we have 60+ million in cap space, money gonna fly boys. It gonna FLY out the door. Kwame Brown would be gettin 18+ million dollars today. Guess what? It ain't our money.
Durant gonna tell us no.
Horford gonna tell us no.
So do you all want to tank again next year? Tell me the truth, do you want to tank and win 15-20 games again, sittin on our thumbs?
For a week now, I've come in here and read Keep Byron Scott, and don't sign All Stars. What in the actual **** are you people plannin to do? Are you guys scared or somethin?
The Golden State Warriors had Harrison Barnes. They signed Andre Iguodala anyways. It's workin out for them.
The 1996 Lakers had Eddie Jones. They traded for Kobe Bryant anyways. It worked out for them.
You can trade Demar down the road, or you can trade Clarkson, or maybe you get real greedy and flip DLo and slide Clarkson to the point. Point is, you give options to the FO. Mitch and Jim are goin to meetings with nothin but their ***** in their hands. Goin to a gun fight with a spoon. Get them some guns. Then let them figure out who slots where, and move the excess for a hole.
Whiteside + Batum + DeRozan + Ingram = Golden. I couldn't be happier with that. (Unless we got Thibbs, Durant, Ben Simmons, and Horford, then I guess I could)
Whiteside + Batum + Top 3 pick = Golden. I couldn't be happier with that.
Batum + DeRozan + Top 3 pick = Golden. It's a start, but I worry about Center.
Whiteside + Top 3 pick = Not too bad. Good start, not sexy, lil dangerous, but better than nothing.
Top 3 pick alone = I ain't mad. Happy to collect these young lottery tickets.
DeRozan by himself = tough break, but not the end of the world, just a poor overall break for us.
DeRozan + Top 3 pick = Much better scenario than the alternatives.
No pick + no free agents allowed = We're gettin a top 3 pick in 2017.
Point of all this is, we don't have a savant anymore. No more superstar that sleeps in the gym, or dies for the sport. That's over. So since we can't get another one of those in the blink of an eye, we need to throw numbers at the problem. Not 1-2 lottery tickets, but 4-5 of them, and then add in cap space buys on top, add it all up, we could have a 8-9 deep rotation + a Nance, #32, Anthony Brown type 10-12 group and try to outlast and overwhelm our opponents rather than just one man superhero ball them.
Hell, it just hit me, Mamba mentioned Chris Paul next year, why do we want a 32 year old PG again? We haven't learned our lessons on old folks at the end of their career's? He'll be 31 in 3 weeks, and won't make it out the second round, AGAIN. Then you add another year to that, THEN we get a chance to sign him, and that's better than 26 year old still growing into his game?
Say hello to the modern day nba.FESTUS EZILI A MAX CONTRACT PLAYER?
I give up bruh
After I stop by ya moms crib I will....
please drive home safe @ComptonPrince
Who said don't sign free agents? It's just that some of us don't want this particular guy. Just like some don't want Whiteside. Why you getting all up in arms over that? This your way is right and everything else is hot takes fresh out the oven is getting old. DeRozan ain't moving the needle, we'll be a bottom 3 team with him next season if he's the big signing. You have a higher opinion of him than some, that's fine, but let people express their opinions without the condescension.
He doesn't seem like a priority when we have another guy that will get more opportunities in Clarkson and Lou who's a magnificent chucker in his own right and is on that top 10 PER rating as well. He + Clarkson can provide what DeMar does at a fraction of the cost.
Id take him for free just to see LaLa big ol melons..........Part of my 48.5 anger, IF he was getting 8-10 instead of 25, we could have offered both DeAndre AND LMA. That interested me. Greatly. DAJ/LMA/Kobe/Clarkson/DLo with Black, Randle, Nance, Huertas woulda been much more competitive. But I'll settle for Ingram.
I wanted Love IF we kept Dwight.
I wouldn't want Melo if he played for free.
