How about Danny Ainge playing hardball with Indiana and losing Hayward for nothing. Reports were Miles Turner and Doug McDermott were involved in a potential return package.
Maybe in a marathon. Three steps on a basketball court is a heck of a lot, you don't often see that in 30 year olds whose legs are still attached.
Team could use a legit scoring gaurd off the bench, such as Burks, hardaway jr. CP3 / Carter/ Okobo Booker / Payne Bridges / Cam Crowder / Saric (RFA) Ayton / J.Smith /Dialo
I mean we only sent out 35m and the Bucks could have surpassed that amount with just Bledsoe, Hill and Lopez and they could have only took Paul back to lower the incoming salary that we got with Nader.
It does not matter. Paul wanted to go to the Suns. What is that package you are talking about - Bledsoe, Illiasova, George Hill, and Robin Lopez? You think that is better than Rubio and Oubre - cause I don't think OKC would have thought so. How would OKC get 2 firsts out of that group like the did for Rubio and Oubre? You think Millwaukee would throw them in? Jones had the upper hand, but he was too stupid to realize it.
I wasn’t arguing against the pick, just disagreeing with chap’s characterization of “consensus.” I’m fine with Jalen selection though I recognize his likely warts.
I’m not saying you didn’t read it anywhere. I’m just saying it wasn’t “consensus.” And you’re right, I’m not a jones hater. Fan? Not yet. Still in wait and see mode.
More like: CP3/Payne Booker/Carter Bridges/Nader ???/Cam/Crowder/Smith Ayton/Saric/Smith Diallo has been let go. Saric can't play the 4. Cam can't play the 3. Smith can play both the 4 and the 5 on a very limited basis until he physically develops. We do very much need a back-up scoring combo guard, but we also still need a starting 4 and a back-up 3.
