2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

[Jommybone]

Remember these would be rotation players.  Who gets you more excited... Cody Martin and Joe Ingles or Sterling Brown and Frankie smokes?

If I'm Joe Ingles, I'm not sure I'd want to sign with Utah. Watching from a distance, he may decide that he's chewed all the flavor out of that gum.

Love the gum analogy! That’s some poetry right there!

As to your question, I gotta say I would dislike giving up on Frankie at this juncture. He’s cheap. He seems like a good dude. Why not hang onto that investment another year? 

Joe Ingles as a backup here? I guess he’d have to sign for the taxpayer’s MLE, which is about $5 million, right? (That or a vet min contract is all we can offer free agents this summer.) If he’d take that money, and if he’s close to his former self, he immediately shores up our big rotation and our playmaking issues. Great signing! But why would he take that kind of pay cut if healthy? That’s less than half of this year’s contract.
