He's accidentally been using his wife's estrogen cream as sunblock.
My question stands.
Well, as it stands, someone else will have to answer.
Well here are my view points on the off season
First the draft
- We trade the #12 pick for George Hill. Most people loved this deal. Which I can understand because Hill is a really good guard. From my view point we didn't receive adequate value though (at least based on the details we know). Especially considering we could have signed a guard in FA (albiet not quite as good as Hill and for a little bit more money) while keeping our pick. I thought the best course of action was to move the pick for a future pick or picks (another one in 2017 would have been nice) and then just sign a guard.
- We trade #42 pick for #55 and cash. We select a point guard who will almost certainly never play for us. I'm not sure why he didn't just move out all together? Just trade the pick for a future pick down the road.
- We draft another guard who will almost certainly never play for us at #60. Again I don't understand why we wouldn't just move that pick for a pick in the future.
- Bolomboy was a good get.
Free Agency
- I love the JJ pick up. Exactly what we needed imo.
We'll see what happens from here. I think we will still have a trade or two coming, and we still need a backup Center. As a whole I can't give this off season an A though in good conscience. Maybe I'm just a tough grader though.

If you want an answer, don't insult the person you're asking.
Just tell me, please, how these great moves are going to play out on the court during the run up to next years' postseason. Are we going to make a 4 seed? A three, and even a first round win? Are the games going to be the best thing to do in town on a cold winter night?
Is Laker Town going to dread Utah coming in?

I think both moves were good.
Lindsey is playing strategic chess. Some teams are going to be choking on huge contracts with mediocre players in 3-4 years. Some front offices cannot see past this season because they fear for their jobs unless they win now. DL and QS have the confidence of ownership so they can play the long game.

Seems like the most excitement since the Big Al Raja win while rebuilding idea. We certainly look a lot better off than many teams. I'm excited to see the playoffs back in town. Quinn just might get the guys believing in themselves and surprise some people.
I don't know if it's possible, but it would be epic if DL could turn some of our dead weight into assets. With the added depth, there's a couple players that won't see the light of day.
Regardless, it's been a pretty sweet offseason so far!

This is another area where I'm actually concerned with DL. He seems dead set on keeping Hayward at any cost. Paying Hayward 30-35 million per year will devastate that chess board when we still have to pay Gobert, Favors, Hood and Exum among others.

You pay Haywood that contract because he is worth it. Players worth their contract are always tradable. I have a high level of confidence Hayward isn't going to go Boozer after he gets the big dollars. That is the biggest worry with large contracts. Those become difficult to deal.
OKC learned our lesson for us with the Harden debacle. Let's not do that.
The deal isn't about Hayward. The deal is about getting this team to championships. Can this team, as currently constructed, win championships? If yes, pay Hayward. If not, you can't pay him. Because once you do and you pay other guys, that's it. This is the group you are riding with. Big changes will be virtually impossible to make happen. We aren't a contender yet so I don't see it as a smart move. We're close but we are still missing one big piece.
