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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      Strength of Schedule

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
