Is our business model to get blown out of the playoffs every year? Is our business model to lose our talented drafted players to free agency in exchange for nothing? Is our business model to remain a team that has ZERO championships? Oh yea, we better not disrupt that! Thank's for your 2 cents!
You're right but Jingled is also right in saying that there's no real point in having the Bucks tie up your cap space for 3 days when it's about 99% confirmed he's staying with the Bucks considered he's an RFA. You can express interest in a number of other ways without necessarily tying up your cap space and putting yourself out of the free agency picture for 72 hours. You want to be aggressive with offers to UFAs not RFAs.
It is known.
To me and you. But apparently not to Lakers slapper. I was just helping him out
The business model they follow good, bad or indifferent is to not pay the luxury tax and to have two rounds of playoff games. The 2nd round is where their profit is. Part of that is why you didn't see them bringing in players that had been bought out. Affects the labor costs to get to black ink. I'm not saying this is a good way to fun a railroad.
So trading for Conley then signing Harris is basically impossible, but signing Harris then trading for Conley works in theory, right?
That's my understanding as well.
I think the plan is that we had planned on this summer being the plan, but the closer we got to it, the more it appeared to be a desert mirage, and the more we fall in love with our guys all over again. If July 7th comes and goes and Favors becomes guaranteed, and if we've yet to lock anyone up, I anticipate the "now he can be used as a $17M expiring trade chip" discussion to heat up and ultimately fan out after the deadline.
