I agree with some of your points (Tyson for sure, I even acknowledged that. But as a novice GM Phil definitely overvalued Calderon short term potential for this team, which is his mistake but I kind of understand it and it didnt cost us too much in the long run, especially because we got rid of Felton and his contract. JR/Shump wasnt getting us a pick because JR was a cancer on a bad contract we were lucky to get rid of, Shump didnt have value as someone who was about to get paid next summer so only a team in immediate "win at all costs" mode like Cleveland was going to take him on in a trade for any value whatsoever and take back JR, plus we got Lance in the deal which has worked out more than well for us. RoLo trade was a gamble to get Rose, which I respect. We will see how it pans out).The issue with Phil's trades isn't about what goes out, but what he ends up getting in return. I think it deserves fair criticism. It's either not enough or they just get stuck with a wrong part. The Tyson trade, JR/Shump, RoLo...all of those guys had to get moved for their own reasons. Yeah, there was some loose change and they took a flyer on a few guys, but to not get a 1st round pick back on at least one of those trades...ehh.
And just for the record...I never called for Phil's head. Even when it looked super bleak and people wanted blood...
I'm mad at that Seth Curry deal though. I think he showed just enough at the end of last season to earn a contract higher than what he ended up getting in this market. Wish we would have got in at that price.Can't ever have enough shooting in this league, and there's still a need for more spacing on this squad.
That's really the only hate I remember and hating that he was still so salty about us passing him up even when that regime was long gone.i hated how he cooked our pg's constantly, yesI thought y'all hated Jennings?
Was Cleanthony on the scene?There was a shooting in Brooklyn. 5+ people shot.
Stay safe tonight.
Again, it was April, on the Kings. Seth wasnt the first player to do that and amount to **** and he certainly wont be the last. I am MUCH more content with Jennings on the contract we gave him than some cast away who had a solid month of garbage time basketball on an even more garbage franchise,Seth Curry played really well. I'd pay him that 2 year deal. Finished off the year strong.

1. He had some good gamesAnd what about Brandon Jennings? Dude was on a garbage Orlando team and couldnt start over a rookie who cant shoot for **** and got 15 min a game. What'd he shoot 30% from the field last year?
Bruh. For me, it's not Seth or BJ.It's not one instead of the other. I'm saying I wish they could've found a way to fit him in with the rest of the moves made thus far. It's a low risk gamble worth taking at that ridiculously team-friendly price.
It's not an indictment on Phil. That was a completely separate thought and unrelated. Seth is more wishful thinking, if you want to call it that.

There's no "choice to make" because there's no competition. You scoop Brandon Jennings fast for that price/1 year deal, and NOW I'm looking for other holes to fill. It's not an either this or that situation. Seth Curry is not your primary back-up PG because that role is filled.
I could be mistaken, but I think we still have the bi-annual exception available for use...? That's around $2.8M or some **** close enough. Anyways, it's not that difficult to come up with something when you're able to sell the player on his value and role on the team.
I clearly should've made separate posts or some ****.Too much fuss over a fringe player, I think I've said enough about friggin' Seth Curry.
I'm cool with Phil, man. I never get too hot or cold with him. Been cool with Phil. The jury is still out, but I'm glad he's open to adapt. That's the biggest takeaway this offseason.
I hope Wade does
