As long as you actually do step 5 it won't matter lol. I just think step 3 may block step 5. If we play all the youngins maybe not doe.
Lol. This team needs a complete overhaul. Our guard line isn’t winning material. And I still haven’t decided on Keythe only players I like that I see being on the team past this year is Ochai, Simone, Kessler, and Hendricks. We are light years away from contending or just being decent. For the record, obviously I like Markkanen but he should be traded.
The Collins trade was such a dumb move. If we had mounds of cap space we could do some things this offseason while also extending Lauri. Now I'm a little leery of taking on salary in trades as it threatens our ability to extend Lauri.
I know Norway has a tax cooperation scheme with the US, and would think Finland has similar. At least here you can deduct taxes paid in the US. There is no direct income tax for income in the US when you live overseas, but at least in Norway the rule is you generally stay a member of the "folketrygd", a welfare that for instance will allow you healthcare. You can opt out of that and pay zero taxes at home, but then you need for instance a travel insurance when you come back home. I think there are rules about how many days you can spend in Norway (Finland in his case) per year too.
yeah he also said he had zero intention of retiring before he had to because he knows being home looking after kids is way harder a gig than playing
I'm guessing the 11M per year was a bigger motivator than that lol.
5+? We didn’t even get 4 for Mitchell. I’d be happy with 3 picks and a young player with potential to be something
The number is 4 or 5. If you get premium picks or young players its 4. If its a mix of premium and fine... then its 5. Don got us 3 picks, 2 swaps, a recent lotto pick, Lauri (was worth a pick at the time) and Sexton. Lauri is the thing that never hits the market. Rangy wing big in his prime who is excellent (more than excellent) without the ball and can guard his yard. He is also paid half as much annually as Don was. Donny was a 6,000 square foot house in a nice suburb that goes for millions... Lauri is a beach front bungalow that will also go for millions (if we sell). They are different but their value will be similar.
Proven hater. That's a pretty garbage intake considering he's going to a good team.
We got 3, 2 swaps plus Ochai who had just been picked 14th, Lauri (nuff said) and Sexton. That's definitely 5+ pick value.
