How many players right now are on a super max contract
Can't be very many

If millsap nails then Denver is hosed. Lost Grant and Plumdawg already... rough offseason for the nugs.

Steph, John Wall, Blake Griffin, Westbrook... Giannis might be pending. Not sure what's going on with James Harden.

They got Jamychal Green though.

Steph, John Wall, Blake Griffin, Westbrook...

And three of them may never win a ring

I don’t think we are making Rudy contingency plans... it’s not really how we work. Plus if you are worried he wants more money you don’t give 30M to his backup that you could just use for him. I think the most reasonable explanation is just that we made a bad pick... trying to rationalize it or make it smart somehow in a weird endgame is the same **** people did when we drafted Tony.
Maybe they can play together?
Maybe they think Rudy won’t last?
Maybe they want a super cheap backup?

maybe they are just dumb

That was a solid pickup... forgot about that. Millsap is still better. Grant is a significant loss.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I listened to the Boeheim pod cast on Hughes and he said he really is a good defender. He said the Cuse plays at least half their practices in man to man and Hughes was really good at it.

I’m hopeful that Hughes will turn out to be a steal. Lots to like about him.

Wall, Westbrook, Paul, Blake, Harden. All unhappy and teams will trade them before deal is done.

There's always the possibility that Rudy won't commit. You have to account for that, whether you think it's likely or not.
Jazz didn't get a firm commitment from DWill, so they traded him (though they may also have wanted to trade him at the time).
Jazz didn't get a firm commitment from Hayward, and they got burned.

CP3 didn't get a supermax. He got a 10-year vet max, I think. That was when he left the Clippers and went to Houston.
Steph got a supermax.

Wait a week... I’m like 85% certain he signs...
