I'd think Franc is worth about 1/2 of that.


Right

But he's not taking it,

If you want him, you pay him - and he can always be used in deals down the road with the 9 mil offset.

Plus the 3rd year not guaranteed.

Exum stunk and got 3-33.  I knocked FN down a notch.


*AS you know, I'd have dealt Frank already.  Doesnt make me right.

Exum had injury issues so was still seen as having potential.
But yeah, his deal was out of whack.

It's pretty clear Franc isn't a PG and likely isn't a starter.
Franc at $9M is a detriment.  Better to let him walk methinks.
I'd offer him 3/$14M

Sorry not impressed. No joy in watching busts Frank and KK throw up bricks. Hopefully some some rookie contributions for future.

Duh

You might want to pay a virtual/socially distanced visit to a LensCrafters. 

When the Prophet Kiid is addressing your Kevin Knox dismissals in the affirmative, clearly there are issues with your vision and cognitive functions. 

Best wishes for you moving forward.

So nice to see the pom poms and rose colored glasses before the season starts. Yeah yeah a 60 win season.

Well played.

The Negative Nancies Have SPOKEN. 

PS: 60 wins might prove a tad bold.

Luee, Knox is just 21.  He's 1.5 years younger than ObiT. Has never played with a quality PG. Has had to deal with a revolving door of coaches and players.  Still a pup, learning and developing.

Stop with this already

You shoot consistently well on open looks or you dont.  Hopefully things turn for Knox off the promising 2 games.  Does he get the 22 minutes I projected with AR out?  We'll see.  But if he gets his looks and shoots poorly vs Pacers and the few games after that, dont blame his teammates, please.

He regressed terribly in year two, never a good sign. From 12 to an anemic 6 ppg. Does not like to be muscled.

Morris was given all of his minutes. 

There was no rhythm or surety to how he would get floor time. 

Fizdale went from feeding him minutes to all manner of WTF moves, such as starting RJ at PG on opening night.  And Miller, while he did make some positive progress, favored vets in a manner that did not address our youth, such as burying DD and playing Ellington.

Do keep in mind it's a 72 game season.

I was looking at a few of those #'s thinking they are awfully low, time to put my money down.

Then it hit me.

so 22.5 is really like..normal 26? Feeling pretty good from what I've seen, I'll take the over too.

I think Burks is too good a shooter to not have him in the starting lineup.

Noel and Mitch?  Don't care.

Glad you at least have Julius starting in this enactment  :)

If Thibs sees RJ as buff enough to be full time starting SF, I can see Burks with the starters over Bullock. It gives you a little more fluidity and playmaking.

I don’t know who would be more productive for a squad, Noel or Mitch at this point. I like being able to go from one to the other with some Obi & Julius small ball iterations sprinkled in.

Obi would have to beat Randle out to start at this point. I don’t think Obi can do this yet, or maybe ever, not because Obi is bad but because Randle is pretty good.

No extension for Frank.

Qualifying offer for next season will be 8.3 mil if we want the right to match offers.

And of course the better news - New Orleans decides to wait on Ball rather than give him 15-20 mil per

He will most likely get and decline the 14+ mil qualifier this summer and be available for us to try to grab.

(Let's hear all the NO - Quickley is better)
