July 1, 20223 yr Stone has done a good job overall but he gets too cute with these role players' contract. Last year it was Theis and now Tate. Great guys no doubt but no need to lock them to a long term deal. We want 2 max slots for next year FA and beyond
July 1, 20223 yr Author 6.5 million is not going to stop them from doing anything they would like to do next summer.
July 1, 20223 yr Next summer’s class sucks. They will either have to acquire a big name/contract via trade or hold off until free agent class of ‘24.
July 1, 20223 yr Would be nice to watch our draft picks develop into superstars so you don’t have to trade for anyone use those picks and can just sign FA outright.
July 1, 20223 yr Too much money for a role player coming off the bench. Stone must think he has young PJ in Tate. I hope it's a trade friendly contract.

As said above next years class sucks which makes Tate's contract a little easier to swallow.
July 3, 20223 yr I'm seeing some Gordon rumors with the Lakers. Anything of value we could get? Not that I fully believe any rumors involving Gordon because they happen every year.
July 3, 20223 yr Just now, Rickylovesweed said: I'm seeing some Gordon rumors with the Lakers. Anything of value we could get? Not that I fully believe any rumors involving Gordon because they happen every year. No. Absolutely nothing except for 27, 28 or 29 draft picks but that’s literally their only traceable assets and I’d think they use them to get off Westbrook if possible, or chasing a bigger fish than Gordon.
July 3, 20223 yr I'm of the belief we should trade Gordon for just about anything but I'll even admit that doesn't look too enticing.

July 7, 20223 yr Author i'm pretty excited for summer league this year (starting with tonight's game against orlando). looking forward to getting good looks at the three picks from this year, as well as seeing garuba getting some run. lineup should be: nix/tyty christopher eason jabari garuba

July 7, 20223 yr It seems like they want a first that is mid-teens if not lightly protected, rather than something in the 20s I'm probably not going to get around to this until tomorrow or Saturday, but Lowe apparently talks some Houston here, probably worth a listen
July 8, 20223 yr Who gives a shit about 2023 FA. It is a really shitty class. Stone wants an unprotected future 1st for Gordon, he doesn't want a pick in the 20s, so likely a 1st rounder that is 3-4 years out. Houston has had 5 of them in the last 2 drafts, but traded two of them for Sengun.
July 8, 20223 yr 2 hours ago, TonyTexas said: What are they waiting for? If I had to take one of those team's future 1sts, I would go with the Suns. If it's 2024 or later, that's a good deal. If it's 2023, then none of those will be below 25.

July 8, 20223 yr Eason has the ugliest shot I have ever seen. Uh… what position does he project to? He should be fined every time he jacks up a 3.

Shawn Marion is the guy who has always popped into my head as a player comparison for Eason but maybe it's just them being the same size with ugly shots.

July 8, 20223 yr 11 minutes ago, Fud said: That's rather astounding for Harden to do. Finally willing to build a contender! Houston North might have a chance this year.
July 9, 20223 yr The problem I see for the 76ers, is how they get the salary match. They don't have any expiring deals that can match Gordon, and the Rockets already have 18 contracts. It will take a 3rd team for sure.

July 10, 20223 yr I’m gonna start a new thread about how awesome Hakeem was. I mean or I could just talk about it in our circle jerk thread and not make my own thread about like anyone gives a fuck. Just thought id throw that out. Edited July 10, 20223 yr by Rockethorn1978

Yeah, that has been my take away through the 1st 2 games. These guys are 2-3 year projects at the earliest. Makes sense considering they are teenagers.
