Told the press to fuck off.

But I agree the 40+ mil per is not something I want to give to that type player

Could Beal play with Hardaway?  I don't see why not.

But I am all in on smooching KD then using a plan B if we don't land him.

Best case scenario trade: Kanter and Mudiay  ($23mil in expiring salary)  for Bradley Beal or John Wall.

seriously?

While Beal is a better version of Hardaway we already have a scorer at the 2 and have you actually looked at Wall's deal?  40 million per over the next 4 years.

please.

you are giving up any chance at KD or Kawhi with this deal.  Wall just told his coach to fuck off.  perfect choice.

A bird in hand vs one in the bush mean anything to you?

Fuck both Wall AND Beal. 

Wall?  40 million. 

Beal?  We have Timmy...and Dotson...and Trier. 

No quick fixes.  No shiny objects.  No DDD Cup Tits. 

Been there.  Done that. 

Being in rebuild mode is painful, but purposeful. 

Stay the course. 

Again, don't start spreading out the Welcome Mat for KD quite yet. 

Winning team...$40-$50 million per for five years. 

That's...persuasive. 

You can deep dry your turkey.

Or Slo-Cook it in the Crock Pot. 

Mark me down for the Crock. 

Wall is a great talent.  But not winning in DC with Beal as his back court partner? 

WAKE UP CALL. 

PS: Remote, very remote, as possibilities go, but Rubio is an FA in the summer of 2019.

PPS: Best case scenario?  Come on Kam.  23 million in expiring contracts for some ME-FIRST Loser?  I'll wait for the summer of 2019, thanks.  NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!

If you don't get Durant who else is better than Wall?

40 mil is the new 28 mil

I'd rather have my fat Uncle Pete and 39.15 mil still left in the bank account.



*** we can safely assume Uncle Pete will sign for the league minimum

Wow. Duke is explosive.

Good game.  Zags super well-coached.

I don't see Wall as a me-first loser.  If LeBron had played in the West instead of the East we'd have a different appreciation for Wall and company.

Tim Hardaway has shown actual improvement to the point that his $17mil contract is a non-factor or even a slight positive.

What a difference a year makes.

He has genuinely improved from a Bad defender (his first few years) to a still not good but trying level that coaches love.

His drawing charging fouls sacrificing the body and his increased effort to rebound and share the ball has him as a Top 100 player for a reason.

I think the premium paid to sign him from ATL as a RFA was worth it.

He has actual trade value, and value to us if we keep him. His contract is no longer a negative.

Fiz has this team playing so much harder than any coach we've had in ages.
