Ship Knox out of town, Chip? Just to get rid of him?
Nah
This was for Wiggins
Maybe you favor just reupping Marcus M. That's fine.
18 mil per. Saves us 10 from Andrew.
I'm open to re-upping MM.
Wiggins?
Baffles me. Puts up decent numbers, for sure, though not commensurate with his rate of pay [27, 29, 31, 33 million through 2023]. Be that as it may, he is skilled but oddly not in an impactful way.
People talk about Kevin Knox seeming oddly disengaged. Wiggins makes Knox look like a cross between Jimmy Butler and Kevin Garnett.
Their games are actually kind of similar; Knox has better range on his trey.
If we going to continue to suck, then taking on contracts like Wiggins seems pointless. People are going out of their minds at the money we're giving Randle and Portis, who are good role players, but not bell cows. We had a potential bell cow, but he is now in Dallas, for whatever reasons...spilt milk.
Not that we have a shot in hell of getting Giannis Antetokounmpo or Anthony Davis in 2021.
Might as well just keep grunting forward through the draft, hope we get lucky in the lottery, and try to make lemonade out of our lemons.
Meanwhile...I really like RJ, but he baffles me. This is a top tier athlete, who has competed at the highest levels, has great physical gifts, a positive winning demeanor, and is a willing passer and defender.
But watching him tease us by nailing a couple of long threes, than clang a half dozen midrange jumpers in a row [.389 FG%], get to the line with consistency and then shoot free throws at a desultory .543% [73-133] clip? RJ is basically giving us 14-5-3-1 a game in 32 minutes, which is not too shabby; still, while I really like him, I feel as though we are indulging him too much, not unlike how Fizz did with KK last season, and I believe, given the presence of Dotson and Trier, and the return of Reggie Bullock, that it may be time to raise the bar for him in terms of earning his minutes and not prematurely anoint him as the franchise.
