I've never been more flaccid. JK there are some names I like but that is a very "Luke Walton All-Stars" type list.

That’s a nerdy list

Cody def went to Magic City and got handsy. He's turned into a man.

They likely match anything... its just whether or not that deal is helpful or becomes a millstone. That is the question we are discussing... mostly.

I think things broke the right way and they may get lucky but I would bet we could have got better numbers and structure on an extension than we will end up getting. I just think it won't come back to hurt them much... but they are still open to getting smacked AND they have now lost any...

We are only far apart because Jazz said "15M or nothing" and Walk said "let's talk about that" and the Jazz said no.

I don't know how many times I have to tell folks that the Jazz didn't negotiate at all for them to get it. This is beyond just Best Buy guys... this is knowledge. Jazz said "how about qualifying offer... we want to preserve cap space". Walker was like "yeah no let's talk real numbers". Jazz...

The handling of Walker gets a new chapter today lol. In the summer "we won't negotiate an extension... cap space too important" while they quietly shop him. Trade deadline they turn down a pretty big offer... on a guy they didn't try to extend because cap space was too important... but the...

You can see the shift based on how guys are trying to move heaven and earth to get back in college bb lol. Even if you stayed all 4 years and then got a couple years guaranteed on a 2rp type deal you are in a great position. I'm still cool doing what we did as we have had a lot of prospects to...

NIL really changes the math. If I was a guy going in the 20s but can get 1-2M to stick around college. I'd stay in school another year. The league is so talented now that these guys don't get as much leash. Getting paid an extra year or two in college before getting a regular rookie deal may be...

Giddey about to be a center.

I still believe... well... kinda.

Jazz getting Lonzo to waive him is so mean to @infection

Maybe Nurk for Derozan and you waive Derozan (10M guaranteed next year). Likely could get you the Kings second rounder this year... basically a late first. IDK just a thought.
