    This is why I hate a 1 year Deal. I do not trust Cousins enough to pay him a 1 year deal which he will spend some of rehabbing only to allow him to walk at the end of the season potentially fully healthy and be able to sign a big contract with the Lakers.

    Heck no. You can negotiate a fair contract for both sides and still have an option for year 2. He will still have to come back from injury and hustle to keep his deal but we arent left open to being blindsided.

    Okay so, Elfrid Payton is a nice signing.

    I'm not a HUGE fan of his, I've not been one of those really targeting him, but he's got his hair cut, has essentially upped his scoring every season, has always been a solid passer, is a pretty good rebounder, he's only 23, and is at least not awful (his last full season had him a VORP of 1, and a BPM of 0.1, literally as neutral as you can ask for).

    So there's upside.
    Basketball.

    He will be coming into about the best situation of his career assuming Rondo returns.

    Would love to see him get in soon and do some work with our shooting coaches that helped Gordon, Evans, and AD tweak and improve their shot. Get Rondo signed and let him be like a mentor to Payton.

    I honestly think that if he puts good work in during training camp and so on, he could be a 36% 3pt shooter. Obviously that's not lights out, but it would be huge.

    I like the Payton signing. Still would like better insurance for the back-up PG role. We need to lock down Rondo. If we can get IT on a steal 1 yr since his market is super dry. It would be great for the bench to have Payton, IT, Moore, and a rotating Boogie/Mir.

    The bench and wings are our biggest need. Wings are basically gone.

    But we only used a part of it. Would that still hard cap us?

    AD bought a palace in Los Angeles. Sky is falling.

    That said, I think we get boogie news today and maybe Rondeaux too

    Well according to MM we're really trying to trade for some one and they have 2 years left on their contract and the player is significantly better than Simmons.

    Butler has 2 years left but surely that's just a huge pipe dream

    It's probably Saric actually

    Help facilitate a trade for Philly getting Kwahi and pull a piece to do it. Philly needs shooters. Maybe they have interest in Moore.

    Definitely sounds like a long shot.

    Can you give the link for that? Couldn’t find it over there. Any chance he meant Jonathan Simmons? Lol. Hard to believe we’d have a chance at trading for a B-Simmons tier player. Looking through the teams, who y’all think it could be? Maybe Beal? Lowry?

    I would assume Johnathan Simmons is exactly what was meant.

    So going through the list, if he said 2 years left, would he be referring to one of those years being a player option? I think Kyle Lowry may be the guy that meets the criteria. Has exactly 2 years left on contract (no options) and MM has spoken highly of Lowry on the pods, probably having him ranked ahead of Simmons with his shooting.

    Beal has 3 years left, so not him. Butler has this next season guaranteed then year 2, the 19-20 season, is a player option he will likely opt out of. Same for Kris Middleton and Dragic.
