Should we overpay Brook Lopez to sign him

  1. Yes, we are desperate and need a interior defender

    Apparently they've implemented a "temporary" post limit of 6000 read posts per day by verified accounts, 600 unverified, 300 for new accounts. So maybe that's why it seems broken.

    I don't think it's temporary? Sounds like that's the new system.

    "seeing" 600 posts can happen in a matter of minutes. Totally insane.

    One of the local big wheels, do not remember which one, suggested our lopez back up plans are Capela then Zubac. May have been @KellyUnchained Since I have digested literally every Rocket post across the country and internationally in the last 24 hours I cannot recall for sure. My testimony is hearsay!

    Yeah, that's why I said "temporary" in quotes, they are saying it's temporary, part of an emergency policy to combat data scraping but I have a feeling it's going to be permanent.

    Yeah, I think it's a REALLY awful policy that could actually threaten to take down the site. Limiting access just seems suicidal.

    With so much on the line for the Bucks with keeping Giannis happy, are we really gonna be able to compete with what they are offering? The Bucks may get crazy with what they will spend to keep him.

    Giannis making 50M
    Khris 40
    Jrue 30

    can they really afford to spend that much? Especially with the new tax rules. I feel like that’s the only reason we’re still in the race.

    I think we are going to offer Lopez 23-25 million and Texas being a tax free income state. If they sign Lopez for 23 million it is going to hurt them, they should be passed the second apron toward the salary cap.
