That can`t be right. If the salary cap grows with 10% every year remaining of Lauri`s deal and his numbers at Hoopshype are correct, he is at 30% this year and next, 27,1% in 2026-27, 26,6% in 2027-28 and 26% in 2028-29.
Not like we have anywhere to spend it, considering the deals expiring next year. Kessler re-upping will be decent sized, and maybe Key if he learns to be more efficient.
It was great. He showed he could shoot while committing tanking type plays. I enjoyed it
His threes looked nice. Not much arc but those that went in all swished. He also got away with a push-off when he nailed a shot near the free throw line; I was so stoked the refs let that one go. It was also nice to see Kyle shine.
No, it was legitimately him hitting a different gear he usually doesn't
Really good point. We sometimes make excuses for guys playing back to back games, but Potter was playing 2 games in the same day.
I agree, but I wasn`t arguing that. I was arguing the dude/dudette who said that his salary would fall to 22% of the salary cap.
I know, I know. But at the end of this game he played against the field of midgets and was routinely guarded by 6'3"Dunn, 6"5" Bogdanovic and 6'5" Harden. Lauri should destroy such match ups by overpowering them on the drives to the basket (he did it once and I was like "oh, yeah!" - and then nothing) or by shooting over them. Instead I had all these flashbacks of Gobert being guarded by a much smaller player. Or just go inside and grab all these rebounds since you have like 4-5 inches advantage over everyone not named Ben Simmons . Drive inside and dish out if you are afraid of finishing over much shorter players! Instead he was pretty much floating on the perimeter waiting for the open shots or open lanes to the basket, like in his old Chicago days.
We go body for body, I hand you a body, I'm probably a better masseuse.
