    Signing Ariza and Luc are declining, their season numbers are atrocious. Luc is still injured, Ariza is having career low FG and 3 pt shooting

    Aside from the $160,000,000 that he just gave Chris Paul?

    I'm not saying that Tilman will throw money around like Micky Arison but it is too early to call him overly cheap.

    Ariza was more valuable for his ability to switch and defend 1-4 plus guard strong wings like lebron and Durant. Ennis doesn't seem to be there at this point.

    Plus he's probably not getting the same looks there.

    But he is aging so who knows

    Hopefully Tilman doesn't think like Les, who would rather be mediocre than do an actual rebuild and rely on a lucky trade to acquire another superstar like Harden.

    If we're going to rebuild, I hope it's not half-assed. Just tank all the way like the Hinkie 76ers. Hopefully a team out there is still dumb enough to trade 1st rounders for CP3's contract.

    With Harden on this team, no owner would want to do a full tank unless you trade Harden away as well.

    If you're cheap and unwilling to spend, why own an nba team? Are we the next Phoenix Suns?
