Solid sign but really surprised we didn't keep Monk when I see he signed for 1.7 next year with LA.  That is really cheap

i was glad to see he's being realistic. his upside in the league is being a catch and shoot specialist pressure release valve for the guys that are driving the interior. he's going to get an opportunity to make some big shots without having to create his own offense, and that's the best fit for him. he'll get his 17-20 minutes of burn with the 2nd unit and shoot as much as possible. 

this team is already adapting to how lamelo wants to play. they want to run the floor and bringing in Ish will allow them to do that with the 2nd unit as well or if lamelo just needs a blow.

Bargin  bench player shopping.. which we might have to do until Lamelo proves he's the type of star that other player want to play with... For cheap prices..

That will probably be a couple more years at least. Until then, bargain shopping and building through the draft is the right choice.

It feels like the job Kup is doing is pretty amazing.  Jordan wont go near the luxury tax and if he is actually forcing Kup to draft certain players that is ridiculous.  I really hope that isn’t the case.

I think Jordan respects and likes Mitch enough to let him do things his way. That is night and day different than when Cho was the GM.

Actually we never offered him anything 

Maybe because we could see the writing on the wall.. Out of all the end of season interviews.. Monk and Cody both felt like 2 player who were leaving the team... They both felt dissatisfied with their play time and both felt undervalued...

Maybe. I can't imagine Monk didn't get at least 1 call offering more money than the Lakers. Think he's just trying to bet on himself.

    • we got spoiled having superman and even then...he wasn't enough. superman was a fluke. there are incredibly unrealistic expectations for a first round QB, especially a first overall pick. people look at the short term, first year, rather than what you might get the next 10 and they also think that what you see the first year or two is what you get the rest of the time.  it just doesn't work like that. these guys are all young and a work in progress. you draft on potential. what it takes to reach that potential is different for everyone and it all depends on the situation they fall into, the player pieces around them, the scheme they either put him in or develop around him (the latter is better), and the coaching they give him. then there's also the work the player has to put into it. the work they put into is is the only thing they can control. the rest is just luck. 
    • I actually agree with everything you've said here. My comment was directed to the posters who feel the need to derail threads with the same Bryce talking points over and over again. It's just tiresome, even if what they're saying has some truth to it.
    • That's not totally the case. It is hard to discuss future without a crystal ball, you look at the past the to assess and project, and there is a lot of on field negative from year one. Some people say throw it out. You can’t dismiss things that were on him and not the OL or Reich or Chark or Mingo etc., if you want the real story.  That footwork is not just people picking on him, it is probably a huge barrier to his potential success. All the passing comes from a base and if it is off the throws are hard to trust.  OTA optimism is fools gold tbh. It buys nothing. We have seen the skins and shirts all stars enough times to know what that is. We will need real football at real football game speed which we won’t get even in preseason.  That said I expect him to somehow make his way to somewhere in QB tiers or rankings to maybe low 20s. Gotta win 6 at least for that.  My opinion is if they can make a playoff run with a 4th tier QB then fine but I’d just as soon go over to the side of those who for years held out for a QB capable of taking the team to and winning a SB. I am not thinking he is that guy so far but taking this year to find out is necessary.
