Agreed, that is what I was assumed was baked into the deal. He doesn't ask for a lot more since we took a risk on him this season after injury, but he wanted a bit more security. If we load manage him like we did this year and use him in the postseason, his impact was worth it this year at that price imo.
The off-season can still be ruined by overpaying for KD and re-signing FVV to a ridiculous long deal or short but way too expensive one. But Adams is the big and veteran I’ve always wanted! Let’s get that rebrand soon so I can get myself an Adams jersey!
If I was a gambling man I had him on the Lakers. Which is why I don't gamble. Splash. Which also means he can't be traded until like December. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
there was actually reporting that because he signed before the extension deadline, he can be traded immediately. If he had resigned after the extension period, then he can’t be traded until Dec. but I’d bet that he received assurances that he wouldn’t be traded before the season.
I love it. He is the Heart and soul of this team, and the advantage he gives us on the offensive glass cannot be overstated.
Good job by Stone. Criticize him when due but also give him credit when due. I wonder if it plays a role how the team treated him last year in his recovery, and also this year phasing him in gradually with load management, etc.
Adams really came into his own when he was mentored by Kendrick Perkins on the Thunder. Been a bruiser in the paint ever since! Great signing.
Great signing! Now, we need FVV to sign $20M or below per year for us...anything over, let ole boy walk!
I think he might get traded. Everything feels weird with Fred, Plays terrible the whole season, First 3 games against GSW plays terrible, Last 4 games played great, last game was average.
