    Trevor ariza was the biggest lost in years, closely followed by cp3 yet people celebrate the contract of a gimpy legged imposter named eric Gordon!

    Danuel House is the biggest positive step in a right direction, but other than that the management suffers on major levels!

    Sometimes I really can't believe we are cursed with back to back owners who are cheapskates about the LT when they are in possession of a top 2 player for half a decade.

    Our GM is a failure tbh. You have 2 superstars tops like any other contender and the rest you fill with drafts you have developed and with nice role vet players. We haven't developed **** from the draft and we have stop developing to pursue stats. By that I mean we have system with no variety, we just want to shoot 3s to ramp up the stats. Pitchfork mob expects Tillman to overpay at all positions

    We can live with Morey's flaws. He has the 2nd highest wins per dollar of all GM's in the past 20 years I believe.

    Tilman needs to spend. He makes more money from this franchise than most NBA teams, and yes of course, if you have a top 2 player, pay the LT. The Warriors are paying it, regardless of their luck with Curry's contract early on. They are paying it. You must pay it. Raptors paid it before knowing if they would win.

    You f'ing pay it. Top 2 players don't come along often. If Morey's the problem, fire his ass. Fuggit I don't care. But pay the f'ing LT when you have a top 2 player aged 30. There's no excuse.

    There's really people on this board who think Lou Williams is better than Eric Gordon and it's sad

    Two supermaxes will do that. Not that he really had any choice about paying those. So will paying market to above market for two other starters. Which are still fair contracts, IMHO, if not amazing value anymore.

    Hopefully the Gordon extension will alleviate some of the, 'Tilman is cheap' drone. I promise to tune it down to a dull roar.

    To be fair, they did use part of the MLE on House. What I don't get is, if House was worth the partial MLE, why wasn't he signed (converted) in the middle of last season when we needed him most with all those injuries.

    Just curious - - what possible target would induce you to SCREAM at franchisee to spend into the lux? For example, I'd like Love but wouldn't endorse his contract. Or Portis (in Dec). But, who mebbe???

    Capela says hello
    And remember some of the talent shipped out to get CP3 was drafted, too. We clearly need youth but to act like it was squandered is wrong. Last year’s final cut to the regular season is were we fumbled, Melo and MCW set us on a backward spiral. Bruno would solve a lot of current underlying issues on the cheap. Hopefully DM pulls a rabbit out of his hat no one sees coming.

    Problem is there's a bunch of guys on contending teams that are 4 to 6 inches taller than EG and PJ with 7'6 wingspans that are also comparable in skill set.
