    Not sure where I should put this but



    I recall similar mythical stats with Trev last year (off D rating better than on rating with the Rockets).

    Imagine Trev, Luc (where the hell is Luc now) and Ryno still with the team this year, would we not be in much worse shape?

    The limited minutes Knight was playing, he looked pretty impressive. He was quick, agile, his handles were excellent and his shot fluid. Why didn’t we just keep him? I’d like to understand what MDA and Morey thought? Can anyone offer some decent input on this question?

    I disagree .

    Knight looked awful and physically broken .

    The way he moved was so stiff , it hurt me to watch .

    I still think it's a valid argument to keep him . But only because I think you could have gotten a lot more for him next year when he is expiring. Explaining contracts and picks generally land players better than iman shumpert .

    Trading him for a guy Who will actually be in the rotation is nice . But then we should have committed to this season by keeping Ennis and signing House

    They should not even exhibit squirrels, any animals.

    Short answer yes.

    Long answer we will see .

    If he goes well over the next 2 year then I'll forgive him . But until then , this is a precautionary move in a year where you go all in 99 percent of the time . If they truly feel GS is unbeatable this year then they should have held on to knight and firsts (or even Anderson in the first place ) to use as ammo next year .

    We used up a fair bit of ammo to get under the tax . Ammo that could have been used purely to upgrade the team .

    Right now Tillman is a cheap-ass . I'm open to him changing that narrative . But until he decides to say **** the luxury tax , I'm going all in .... that's what I'll think .

    no, I do not think he is cheap. He is smart enough not to pay the tax penalty for nothing.
    what he needs to do is to bring Sam Hinkie to run this team.
