So the Hawks get Splitter from the Spurs and resign Millsaps, but Demarre Carroll leaves for Toronto. Interesting.

I recall William Moore not being a fan of PM after the conference finals so I'll be interested to see what he says if he wanders over here.

Greg Monroe to Bucks Max Contract

Had max offers from Portland, New York, Lakers and Bucks and chose the Bucks because he could win.

Welcome to the new NBA.

Also, another big man off the market. Some team is going to get left out in the cold and we have Al Jefferson in this crowded, long-range-shooting front court and it doesn't make sense for us to pay him next year...

We won't pay him next year.  We'll have so much cap room it's going to be ridiculous.  Sadly, we'll be offering these players to play with Kemba Walker and Frank Kaminsky.  SMH.

Both of which are infinitely better options going forward than Al Jefferson.

Also all indications are we don't sell "You get to play with this guy!" We take a page out of the Panthers book and sell "establishing a good culture, chemistry, etc) and it has worked, even if the signings themselves haven't.

Good point.  Spots like LA and places like that are cool.  But with the money these NBA players make, they can take vacations anytime they have a break anyway.

    • I think it's short sighted to judge a QB or HC in a vacuum. They both need good players to be successful. That's the GM's role. And he's young in his role too. His general experience in the league gives him a bit of an advantage/perspective that everyone doesn't have. But he still has to perfect his role as a GM.  But whether they're good or not, they are young in their roles. That is the point I was making. Could they be better at what they do? Of course. But it's hard to have early success when you have so many major areas still figuring out how to do their jobs at the same time. Asking a QB to pass for 4000 yards when neither of his 2 best WRs have played a full season is a tall task. Asking a HC to be an effective HC while he's calling plays when he's only done it for 3 years, and he has a young roster is a tall ask. Especially with a roster with so many holes and lack of talent. But that young label is definitely coming to its end. It's about time to start showing major improvements on offense, defense and coaching. Dan has had 3 drafts/offseasons to improve the roster. Dave has had 2 training camps. Bryce has had 3 seasons, though that first season was a pretty tough situation for anyone to learn, let alone have success. The QB is on the hotseat. Mostly because it's pay up or shut up time. He's ran out of time. Doesn't matter if he has reasons or not.  Not getting into the other stuff. Too many layers to pull back.   
    • Id love to see Dave Canales lay the wood hard on a guy
