[quote]The NFL has a much, much smaller population who could project as a candidate for the NBA[/quote] I do think about a guy like Joe Alt. He was just measured at almost 6'10. He is a good athlete and played TE before moving to OT. If he would have trained at basketball, could he have played at...
If they used a plan like the pathway they use to develop foreign prospects, I believe they could find 30+ guys in the NBA with the talent to make a NFL roster. But it would take a long time to acclimate them to a position and build their bodies up for contact. There is so much more money in the NBA,...
I do not want. He's been great in the past, but he's about to fall off a cliff. I'm not gambling on 1 or 2 more great seasons. ...
[quote]BI + Nance for Murray + Okongwu [/quote] Why would the Hawks do this?...
This is where the discussion went off the rails. There is no way that McCollum isn't a starter for us next season. If he was pushed out, he would demand a trade. He has started every game he has played for the past 10 seasons. He's not going to come off the bench for a fring playoff team. [ quote...
[quote]CJ is not a point guard and probably should go to bench[/quote] This would just never happen. McCollum is not going to come off the bench. There isn't a coach in the league that would do that. He's still a top 3 player on our squad and a captain. Players like him do not suddenly go to the...
[quote]Every offensive stat we have says Murphy is better as a starter and this team is better for it.[/quote] First, I don't believe that stat that you keep repeating. Even if it were true, circumstances stances matter. He only started 23 games this season. He only scored over 20 points 4 times ...
[quote]doesn’t extend BI, trades him and puts Trey in the starting lineup. [/quote] I hope this isn't the plan. We would take a large step back if that was the case. I'm the biggest Ingram hater on the board. But he is better than Murphy. So that would be a loss. A bigger problem though is we wou...
You want to give Harris 20M/year to be Zion's back-up?...
[quote]Opting out is only a 3 million pay cut for him over 3 years. Worth doing it to put pressure on the FO[/quote] Isn't he limited in how many years he can sign, since he is over 38? I thought it was capped to 2 years.....
[quote]Harris is an excellent defender and rebounder, and he can hit an open 3.[/quote] He had 0 points last night in 29 minutes in a close out game. He let a 6'5 guard pull down 14 rebounds while he had 4. He's done. You can find a 2nd rounder on a minimum that can give you more than him. He can...
[quote]Just give me back Tobias Harris in a S&T.[/quote] God no. That dude is poo. I wouldn't want to give him any kind of new deal. If we are dealing with the Sixers, I want Maxey. We can throw them a massive package, plus Ingram. I'm sure they won't go for it. But that's the kind of big gam...
I believe the biggest take away from the playoffs so far is that the bench does not really matter that much. A team needs a strong starting 5, with maybe a solid 6th man. We have been so focused on building depth and stockpiling talent, that we allow our starting unit to be mid at best. We need ...
Child support should be capped at something like 50k a year. It doesn't take more than that to raise a child. Let the father volunteer for extra expenses, like private school or lessons. So it wouldn't be that big of a deal if he'd have to spend 350k a year on kids that don't live with him. I ju...
[quote]The goal for the team isnt be under the cap AND be a contender. The goal should be to become a contender any way possible[/quote] Do you really equate spending to success in a regulated sports league with a salary cap? ...
[quote]Anything thing that is so, we are 1 of 2 teams in the NBA that have never paid the tax.[/quote] I love that fact and think it's awesome. I actually love us being a thrifty team and wish we could be way under every season. It sucks they made the rule that forces a team to be at 90% of the c...
[quote]Multiple people ITT have told you that Herb is not a good salary comparable because his specific contract situation within the CBA fricked him on this contact, yet you keep comparing the two players.[/quote] I compare the two because they play the same position and are in direct competition...
I am sure Murphy gets more. I just wouldn't give it to him. I don't think he's earned it or will be worth it in the future. All these scenarios include diminishing or benching Jones. I'm not for that. Project the team into next season- PG- need a massive upgrade and Alvarado SG- McCollum...
[quote]This is like wondering why Ant Edwards makes less than Bradley Beal…they aren’t in the same contract situation.[/quote] Jones and Murphy came from the same draft class. Jones has massively outperformed him (Jones is a finalist for DPOY). They play the same position and role. Murphy is more...
[quote]More than 30 would be a bad deal for the team, less than 25 would be a bad deal for Trey[/quote] I am conflicted on this. I couldn't rationalizing giving Murphy 25M+, when Jones is getting 13M. That doesn't make sense. Jones is better and more proven. Murphy might have a higher ceiling (mi...
