    It's not like Stone can just land a dozen bangers with Tilman being willing to pay them all, we aren't the Warriors, this team will be built up only to be devastatingly, heartbreakingly torn apart again for tax purposes baby.

    Vote now! We'll check who got it right for the inevitable bump!

    It will be Tari, Tillman loves disrespecting the 3 and D wings.

    Al-P. This guy is not starter material in modern basketball. I would like to see the Rockets cut KPJ loose as well.

    green, he will demand ultramax, while quite frankly not even being that good

    I love Al-P but you can’t pay them all and unless he averages like 20/5/5 on good efficiency and hits open 3s consistently he probably won’t be enough of an offensive asset to overcome being a defensive liability. That being said, in the right system with higher usage it wouldn’t totally surprise me if Sengun was able to do that but it’s the least likely scenario of all the player curves right now

    We will keep all four of them and will build a dynasty around them.

    If I had to pick I’d say Sengun. Especially after they draft Victor.

    Tilman's cheapness is something I am trying to forget, but its only a matter of time before it rears its head again.

    "Oops we accidently got under the tax....lulz"

    We are seeing a preview of it right now with Phoenix and Ayton.

    I think he'll pay to keep the starters around (Green, Smith, Eason get paid)

    Christopher & Sengun will probably be the first cap casualties.

    Segun just because of timeline. He'll be off of his rookie deal a year before this years rookie...and Jalen is the face.

    Now, if Jalen asks for an insane max deal...he probably leaves

    Jalen will be traded to the Warriors along with 5 FRP to dump his salary for lux tax savings.

    CF.net is gonna go apeshit when Segun gets traded.

    Then 2 years after that when Segun cant find a roster spot or minutes were gonna see constant threads to trade for or resign him

    Alperen Sengun I think is the one that gets to go, unless Rafael Stone can convince the Core to Sacrifice Money and I believe that Jabari, Jalen, Tari will sacrifice Money in order to resign Sengun.

    Jabari, Tari, Tyty always talk about winning.
    Can they sacrifice a Paycut,to keep this Core.

    I really believe they will Love Alperen Sengun so much that they will sacrifice.
    Alperen Sengun Loves to Pass and he enjoys it.

    **** you. He keeps whoever is a team player and fits. No vote. Tilman will prove to be a generous and prudent owner.

    Jalen will be worth a max deal and we will likely give it to him, unless he doesn't progress--which I doubt will happen.
