    Agree .

    What bugs me is that we have a bigger , younger , more athletic scrappy guy wasting away in house . I know we can get him back at some point . But man do I wish he could have been playing all these games .

    My priorities are improving the team and contending for a championship. How this relates to Billy King I have no idea.

    I see plenty of reasons that say otherwise.

    Landry Shamet was great, and a part of the value that allowed Philly to get Tobias. 26th pick. Heurter is already playing decent - 19th. Kuzma was solid out of the gate - 27th pick. John Collins was ok out of the gate and quickly became great - 19th pick. Terrance Ferguson plays for OKC - 21st pick. Josh Hart plays for the Lakers - 30th pick. Jordan Bell was useful for the champions out the gate - 38th pick. Mitchell Robinson is way better than expected - 36th pick. Rodions Kurucs starts on a resurgent Nets team - 40th pick.

    This is the last two drafts.

    Trade the pick for someone better than Iman Shumpert... sure. As is, Shump better be a serious fit guy, play some serious d to make it worthwhile.

    Even then, Rockets STILL aren't winning the ring this year, and Shump is an upcoming FA.

    The move was about tax savings... which I get.

    I like this deal.

    Now one more deal to get completely under the TAX. Lets get it!!!

    We can be payers next year.

    We have a good team already. Just need to stay healthy.

    Whelp, take Stauskas out. The numbers still work. I just want to open up an extra spot to bring House back.

    i mean you can list a handful of guys drafted late and i can go back and list twice as many that arent even in the league or are useless

    it saved tilman some money yes. but it also netted a rotational player at the wing position with championship experience compared to 2 useless ones taking up spots for no reason.
