he comes out with well thought out and presented pieces that he intersperses amongst a himalayan mountain range of trolling
Good catch. I is a kollige grajuite and shood have knowd bedder than to spell hear like that when I clearly meant here... thank you grammar nazi Now when do the championships start happening again ?
It's like math though, you're either right or wrong. Being the 2nd best team in the NBA is the same as being the last.
His last sentence in the interview was that when you swing for the fences, "sometimes you make mistakes." So I don't think he's naive.
When did i say he isn't rooting for him? If you are the fan of an NBA team u'd obviously root for your general manager because he is the man that assembles the team. Not sure what your point is tbh.
A lot of the people are who are against DM for letting Parsons go has no clue how team building works
Being 2nd is ok, a cpl adjustments here or there can make you 1st (see the last 2 champions), it's being from 10th to 20th with no real potential trajectory that really blows
I guess I am one of them, so seriously please enlighten me. Right now we won't have more than 10 million in capspace for the next 2 seasons. We can't bundle our TPE with players and we don't have real assets for a trade. Our team still has at least two holes (another playmaker and a stretch 4 that can defend). There are no real FAs for us left this season. We have 5 rotation pieces in place and a big bunch of questions of the bench. With Parsons we'd have 6 rotation pieces in place including another playmaker. In the playoffs you usually role with 7 men rotation, so we were missing one player and still have the MLE and the TPE left. The next two offseason we could only spend the MLE - if we had to trade, we'd have the Ariza contract and still a SF on the roster. And we weren't that close to the tax line. I know that Parsons contract is too expensive and that it is pretty bad to trade. But we'd be a team that is very close to contending with quite some tools left (TPE, MLE, Ariza contract as trade bait). Right now we have two missing links and far from max contract cap space left. So I am serious, what are the real benefits here? All I can see is: we are scared to go all in with Harden, Howard and Parsons so we wait and see if we can somehow secure something better in the future.
They've been 'legit' for a few years now. They picked up some investors a few years back and have paid writers. One of them is a member here on CF.
