How about this summer we ship Kessler to Minnesota in a Sign & Trade to get Rudy back? Rudy would instantly fix a lot of our defensive issues and his salary will not be a problem for us in the two years he will have left on his deal.

We are talking about the 2027-28 season here and so far the only big salary we have commited for that year is Lauri`s $49,8 million. Add inn Kessler`s extension, KG`s cap hold and the rookie scale deals and we still can have a lot of room that year if we want to.

Yes, and his cap hold is also just under $20 million so they cold agree to an extension but hold off on signing it until they at least try to use that space so sign a difference maker.

Because you never really now what will happen. None of us predicted that Keyonte 30 games into this season would look like a top 5 pick from his draft class. Noone could know that Kawhi Leonard would gift OKC an all time great player through his stupid actions, and most people did not think that...

Sure, but the point is to put yourself in a position where you are more likely to hit - or get lucky if you prefer that turn - than if you hover around .500. There will always be lots of luck involved in sports, but that does not mean that you shouldn`t position yourself smartly.

After the Detroit game, I decided I couldn`t keep on getting mad at winning anymore. It is pretty obvious that the powers that be are trying to get us in a position where we are able to kickstart our ascension to play off-contenders by having a core of what will most likely be the next great...

I can`t speak for anyone else, but yes, I know that I`ve been bitching in this thread and I don`t like it at all. I usually take the rational view, but it is just so hard to root for losses and then get mad when they pul out an unexpected win. I get frustrated and acting out. I`ll do better.

I know that this is the message that is being pushed, but isn`t it strange that Flagg, Harper, VJ, Knueppel and Fears can do whatever they seem to want to, while our guys have to be on such tighe leashes?

So give hime even more opportunities. I get that Hardy is tired of coaching a bunch of losers, but this is getting to the point where we might we ****ing up our next ten years just to please the egos of men who get paid more yearly than we do in our lifetimes.

Yes, yes and yes. It is really frustrating watching Ace stand in the corner while Svi and KLove get to do their thing.

By focusing on correcting said mistake, obviously. Giving him a pat on the back and excuse all his mistakes while rewarding him with more minutes is probably not the way to go.

It is easy to complain about a lack of effort, but I actually think that it is grossly underestimated how hard it is for some players to give what fans would deem a satisfactory level of effort. Effort is a skill the same way shooting is. For some it comes naturally and for same it requires a...

Turner wasn`t traded, he left in free agency.

Yes, it is a year too early to do this. If he doesn`t show much improvement this year, I`d except the team to decline his 4th year option if he isn`t included in a trade before then.

If Kessler continues to look this good over the next 20+ games, we will have one of the best trade chips in the entire league on our hands. By trading Kessler, we could give a contending team cap relief by taking on a larger contract and a very good player that not only helps them now, but has a...
