Tate is a straight up baller, it would be wise to lock him up now for 4-5 years. It's an investment that could pay huge dividends.
No, I'm promoting a 'team friendly' deal, gives him security and provides a measure of continuity for when we are (hopefully) ready to compete for the playoffs in 3-4 years.
I'm thinking something like 4/24 would be a wise investment, Tate is the type of player needed on every good team...or team expecting to be good in the near future.
Frick Off with the negativity, trying to promote a good player here that we should look to reach a mutually beneficial deal with.
This guy is like marcus smart. Do not over pay this guy. He's short, not fast and doesn't hit the three well. Seriously? We're soooo bad we're in love with Jasean Tate?
If he can develop a dependable 3 point jump shot, he will be one of the best role players in the league.
That would actually cost the owner money though. We know that's the farthest thing from anything Tilman Fertitta is willing to do.
