You're tying up a lot of money into a guy who is a stopgap instead of trying to acquire a guy who you can build around Fears with. 37 mil is a shite ton of money they can really use to get him a running mate.

Nope. The Fears era needs to start in year 3.

Blue team at the St Aug practice were:
Murray
Poole
Trey
Zion
Missi

Mosley said not to put anything into the lineups that were seen today before practice started.

Red team:
Fears
Mathurin
Herb
Bey
Queen


If this was the lineups in practice as well, they said the Red team won a scrimmage against the blue team a day or two ago.
I like the look of his new form and release. Looks much better now. Maybe he'll shoot it instead of standing around in the corner or perimeter while his man sags deep into the paint.
Yea he doesn't have the "hating to lose" mentality and it reflects in how he plays at times. That keeps him from expanding his game and motivates him to reach the next level.

That's where I'm optimistic with Fears. He definitely has that dawg mentality and once his game develops, he's going be the guy.

The reason why I didn't mention AD was because he already wanted out by the time Langdon got there. There were no negotiations with him at that point.

And even if there were, Davis didn't need any negotiations. He was already a max guy with a full Max contract value. It was about finding out if he would even considering staying which we knew he was already out that door once Rondo/James got in his ear.
Duren's side came out and said those clause were disrespectful because Duren never had any weight issues.

Zion's extension talks never reached the public and was agreed to early in the offseason before his 4th season. Don't think there were any back and forth going on with them in the public eye. People were surprised he agreed to those type of clauses when the details were released.

Ingram felt disrespected when we didn't offer him the max extension. Dude even fired his agency and signed with Klutch because we didn't offer him the max extension.
I'm not even optimistic about the season but the only thing I need to see this season is continued development from Fears, Queen, and Missi. If we're lucky, they'll take the next step before the year is over.

After the season, they better have enough data to make a decision on Murray, Herb, Trey, and Zion. It'll be time to pick a direction.
I don't even care what Dumars has to say about his new staff or most of anything he has to say. :lol:

They are... by most if not all accounts good to great hires. They had a lot of changes this offseason from the front office to the coaching and training staff. I find it funny people are getting up in arms about him being confused about the question. But I already knew people would latch onto whatever he said.

All you have to do is look at who's the coach of the team is and listen to his philosophy and plan of attack for the team in year 1, and you can easily tell who is going to be starting and who is coming off the bench.

Mosley doesn't sound like he's treating this season as playoffs or bust. Sounds like he wants to establish his defensive culture above all else. I guess that's his luxury with that 5 year contract. He doesn't have pressure to win now from the organization.
You sound so salty. He was clearly talking about contract negotiations here. And they got all the protections they wanted in Zion's extension.

Unlike Ingram who turned down a very generous offer when he qualified for an extension offer and continued to double down and demanded the max even with his shitty play in the playoffs and fiba.

Both guys can be shitty but in this case, it's not hard to see who he's talking about. :lol:

Weight benchmarks and games played benchmarks were met last season. So his contract is guaranteed for the 2026 season. But he still has to continue to meet those benchmarks this season to guarantee his money for next season.
It was a good lesson for Langdon too. He saw BI fail in the same parallels as Duren in the playoffs and refuses to cave to his contract demands knowing it'll haunt them in the long run.
Pretty sure it's Ingram when he refused our offers and want to bet on himself.

Might as well say he's out for the year. He's not coming back unless he feels 110%.

Really Love Dia. Speaks very thoughtfully and eloquently. Gives me Trey vibes from his presser.

Queen is goofy. Like a big ole kid. I want to see him mature a bit more through the year.

Fears said he was really excited when he heard they were hiring Shammgod. Shammgod is already looking like a player favorite coach based on the media day photoshoots.

Fears focused on strength training this offseason. Said he got up to 195 but he felt getting down to 188 is around his ideal weight.
