Ha. You and @Spud2nique give up the new country? Brad's lonely.

No Comment.

I like it!!!

The course has been set with not resigning Milsap, Bud leaving, jettisoning Dennis etc. This is Butler's detriment to a young team.

Giggle giggle!!!

Jimmy wants to be the Face of a Franchise and be paid $190 million over 5 years. I don't see the Hawks switching course bringing in a 30 year old Jimmy and making him the FOTF in lieu of Collins and Trae. He's had difficulty with the young players on his last two teams. Might be a him problem. (I read one rumor about Jimmy messing with KAT's girl but....)

Jimmy is ALL about the money!! Nicks, Nyets, Clipps.

Clippers, Knicks, Nets are his reported teams. The report said Butler is willing to sign an extension with the team that trades for him, but that doesn't sound right. He'll be leaving $40 if he extends his current contract as opposed to becoming a FA and resigning with a new deal starting at $32 mil for 5 years. The Wolves STRUGGLED to hold on to a playoff spot when Jimmy went down. We were watching that draft pick slot very closely.

Who @Spud2nique.

They should Fire Thibs.

With Tony Parker on the team - no way.

I actually like the signing for them. Just fo what he does. Provide a steady hand behind Jrue as a vet PG. He played 3 less games than Rondo did last year. Side by side comparison: https://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pcm_finder.fcgi?request=1&sum=0&player_id1_hint=Jarrett+Jack&player_id1_select=Jarrett+Jack&y1=2018&player_id1=jackja01&idx=players&player_id2_hint=Rajon+Rondo&player_id2_select=Rajon+Rondo&y2=2018&player_id2=rondora01&idx=players

One of the reasons they passed on David Griffin was he wanted final say....Philly wants the 'collaborative approach' hence Elton Brand.

JWest asked for KAT in the Blake trade, Minny promptly said 'HellToTheNaw'

That's OK for a slight edge but take a look at Markk ranking in all the 100 List vs Collins.

The agreement with Aldrich was reported BEFORE Dedmon had the injury. He's also out of the walking boot already and on the mend. The signing was just made official by the Hawks.

He's gonna be a yes man - don't like it.

I keep seeing Lauri Maarkenan ranked real high but Collins not so much. If I'm reading the side by side stats correctly, considering Collins limited minutes and starts, I'd give Collins the edge. https://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pcm_finder.fcgi?request=1&sum=1&player_id1_hint=John+Collins&player_id1_select=John+Collins&y1=2018&player_id1=collijo01&idx=players&player_id2_hint=Lauri+Markkanen&player_id2_select=Lauri+Markkanen&y2=2018&player_id2=markkla01&idx=players
