    This. Enough with the nickel and dime bullsh-t. If House doesn't wanna accept a 2-3 year contract, convert the dude, ride it out til the end of the season, and just live with the outcome next summer. This is ludicrous to cost the team depth and wear out the starters just to save a few bucks(and save face in the case of Morey's ego).

    Doesn't matter Brian. Got under the luxury tax Brian.
    Brandon Knight wasn't playing for us either Brian.

    They gave up a 1st rounder and a 2022(!) second rounder for Shumpert to dump Knight/Chriss.... what am I missing from your post?

    Also, Shumpert can't be a Brandon Knight from last season.

    1. He wasn't traded mid-season but in the off-season
    2. He's already had games under his belt this season with the Kings and the Rockets

    Bad call.

    I believe they gave up 1 first and 2 seconds. An exorbitantly high price just to save some money and acquire an average backup wing. I have no idea what you're talking about starting from the second sentence of your post.

    Must have caught the knee soreness bug from Eric Gordon.

    Is it really that hard to find a wing player who is a competent 3-point shooter and defender? Anyone we can call up from the G-league to help out on this front?

    Don't worry, I fully expect the pick swap we got for Ennis to come in and contribute in a meaningful way

    Why do we keep treating health like a given?

    LT savings > depth I guess

    Does this save Tilman any money?

    4 injury prone players: CP3, EG, Shumpert and Capela, all on pace to average less than 70 games for the last 3 season.

    If I'm Harden all I can do is laugh at this point. So glad we have that swapped pick we got for Ennis!
