If you have been following free agency today you will see Kembas contract looks more and more like a bargain by the hour...

Yup, I'm not the biggest Kemba fan but that deal looks like a steal for us right now.  Dragic is definitely better than Kemba but I don't think he's 6 million dollars per year better than Kemba.

Goran is a certifiable starter and a good one at that as PFR has pointed out. And at a loaded position, Kemba didnt really have the leverage and probably wanted the security of 48 million. Turns out, given his injury and performance, it was a good move on his part.

When you now stack his salary up against the starters of the league that will get their deals in the "new cap" era, I wonder if the front office envisions Kemba as a 6th man like Lou Williams and is simply addressing much more important needs on the roster before putting an emphasis on getting not just a backup, but a guy who could eventually be a full time starter.

That's not a knock against Kemba as I think he'd be much better in a 6th man role that would fit his playing style better, but his "new" contract and the fact that according to Andy Katz on draft night we at least inquired with the Nuggets about Mudiay suggest down the line point guard could be the next position group overhauled.

      New Sunday Ticket pricing option available

      I don't have a dog in this fight (I use an antenna and almost never miss the game), but I don't read tukafan21's post as defending the corporation. He just laid out the math.

      New Sunday Ticket pricing option available

      Because it's not that bad, it is literally saving people money if they don't live near the team they root for and are able to get them on local TV every week. Do I wish it was cheaper? Sure, of course. But I can also objectively look at it and say it's saving me money compared to needing to go watch it at a bar ever weekend.   And before anyone says to just stream it, I did it for a while once Covid hit, partially because we were so bad so I didn't care about the problems with it, but it was just awful.  To begin with, sometimes they just flat out didn't work, sometimes the quality sucked, sometimes it would just buffer every 30 seconds and be nearly unwatchable. The $450 this costs for the season is a significantly better deal than the $180 I have to spend to watch Wrexham matches for the season.  That pass, you have to sign up for an individual team and you only get their games (and not even all of them sometimes).  At least with Sunday Ticket, you get every single non national or local game, which again, is amazing for fantasy football junkies.

      I honestly don't think that was as true as most believed. Cam was a very efficient passer in Norv's system and again in his year in NE. I think we hurt him in his development and as an overall QB trying to tailor TOO much to his unique talents. The read option should've always remained a staple, but after year two the passing game should've evolved into a more typical modern day NFL passing offense vs. an obsession with chunk play deep ball setups.
