SGA or bust in a trade. Sign Lonzo. Run a Ball/SGA/Doncic lineup. Build a statue for Nico. Don´t care about the front court.

And what happened to him in the losses was connected to what happened to the whole team and happened against a team that could have easily won the west.
I don't think you lose to the Clippers and then conclude that THJ is nothing. Get the right additions that put THJ and DFS down a notch in the pecking order and watch what that, plus their new found playoff experience, does for them. I think we'll find that THJ is a winning piece. Having said that, if you can use him to get something better then do it.
I'd never say THJ is nothing. I'm a big fan of his. But the dude is inconsistent. He was pretty bad most of April. He's 29 and looks like a world beater when he's hot, but often reminds you of why he was part of the tax in the KP trade. I'd keep him on a haircut. He's a streaky player that is a negative on defense. He's a great teammate and wants to be here. I think that's fairly objective.
I'll see what is missing from the code in the plugin to add the reply button if I can figure it out...
I see the formatting issue now Fif...

I don't mind THJ at all at around $14 mil per year as long as he isn't our only major free agency get.
I just have trouble thinking Masai and Toronto would have any interest in our sign and trades. They are big game hunting. Ideally they find a way to land Ben Simmons, but I don't think Morey will settle for the Toronto offer.
I believe if they don't resign Lowry they have a way to create cap room to either sign RFA Jarrett Allen or Richaun Holmes. That seems like a much better route than tying up 20 million in our role players.
There is also reports that Trent may fetch 18-20 million this offseason as well. As much as losing Lowry for nothing will hurt getting Suggs at # 4, resigning Trent and freeing up money for a Center is a really solid offseason.
Gotta figure out how to get rid of the extra As that appear in the posts...

This goes well with my new philosophy of not investing big into bigs.
I want all the available bigs.

I don't hate that number. I do wish we'd do a flat or descending pay structure with him though.

Do what?
On the posts that auto appear have extra As in them like it is a formatting issue...maybe a small flaw in the coding of the plugin...

I'll be damned. Both repped by Mark Bartelstein. If you want to know who a team is going after, it sometimes really is as simple as looking at who is repped by which agency.

Same thoughts. Think of them as running backs in the NFL. Get a few versatile guys one cheap deals. Don´t invest a lot of money into guys that might be on the bench when it matters most. Don´t invest into injury-prone guys.

That's a big deal for the Mavs
No offense to those implementing the auto-updates and I appreciate the effort but the board really doesn't seem active enough to warrant such a feature. *shrug*

Right we were thinking for like live threads that do actually get super busy. Draft night will have a lot of posts.

Not on an average day but I remember last years draft and the first day of free agency. Board was nearly collapsing.

I'm mostly serious about my D12, Noel, Robinson pu pu platter.
Holmes at 20M per gets me nervous.

Now that you mention it, also Bradley Beal. And if Dallas can pull off that particular agent trifecta you may need to amend your username. DanSchwartzganstein?
