    He didn’t. It’s not guaranteed.

    Stone doesn't get enough credit for these. Ironically enough the only signee whose contract is fully guaranteed is Dillon Kobe Brooks.

    I didn't voice my opinion on Brooks on CF. But I internally thought it was an overpay for an inefficient shooter.

    I'm glad Brooks is doing well.

    But as fans we don't owe Stone anything. He hasn't given us anything but 3 loser seasons

    I give Stone no credit. Patrick is the brains of this operation. Stone just answers the phone and then gives it to Patrick.

    I mean…it’s only been 5 games. Let’s see how things go. But I’m definitely happy to be proven wrong thus far. Great stuff so far.

    I will eat my own dick if Brooks keeps shooting 50/60 for the season.

    So far all 3 look to have potential but still raw.

    Amen needs more time but is my favorite right now. But still my beef was with Stone. These 3 are innocent if anything I feel bad they were around Silas and KPJ. I'm happy Stone brought in Udoka. Best move, FVV & Brooks look good too

    Your title is untrue. There wasn't a lot of us who didn't want him on our team, but merely question who we were bidding against, especially after what happened last playoffs. I still don't believe any good contending teams would have offered more than MLE, nor other bad teams were offering more than 15 per. We could have had him at ~65/4.

    So he gets No Apology from a lot of us fans.... especially how he fuked up the Brook Lopez situation. Even worst, it might have worked out better that stone got played. Can you imagine how sengun would once again be buried if stone didn't screw up?

    I'm well aware of what tanking is. It's how Stone handled many Situations.

    KPJ PG project and contract

    Not getting a rim protector, while having a bunch of picks

    Silas should have been fired during Jalen's rookie year. And replaced by an Lucas or Abdelfattah

    Asset management of all the late 1st round draft pick players & KJM he traded away all for nothing

    I'm sure I'm missing stuff, but Stone is flustered. If Jalen & Jabari don't hit it might be it
