KAT scares me. Pascal doesn't. It's not my money so adding expensive players are okay with me. At least we wouldn't hear from mister complainy pants Rowland and Jason about how hawks don't spend. But then the narrative would turn to they overspent.

Haha!  You’re so right.  If we had kept Huerter everyone would complain that we have $32M tied up in two identical players to back up a guy we traded multiple picks for.  And now we have zero flexibility to sign players or get AJ minutes.  People would literally be screaming to trade someone for draft capital.  
I trust Siakam more than Towns as well.  When you have to point back to Danny Manning as what could happen… That was 30 years ago.  Kyrie just resigned with Dallas.  Most of the time players resign with the team they’re on.

I wonder if Landry may try to take Jonathan Kuminga off Golden State's hands?

For what?  Any reason for this possibility?

So much anxiety over guys not even on the team.

We are a bruised fanbase.

Why is KAT's defense so bad? He's 6-11, and a pretty good athlete. It must be an effort thing.

It is.  He falls asleep A LOT on defense, looks like he either cannot process what's happening quick enough or he just doesn't care.  Either way, it's not what you want from your center.

People were mad about the players we got back, not that we traded Heurter.  Also, no one knew we were going to land Quin at the time, in which case I personally would have valued the pick more.  At the time, we had Nate at the helm and he not only doesn't he play young guys, he doesn't develop them, so that pick felt pretty bad.  And if we could have traded Heurter and filled holes in our depth chart -- people likely wouldn't have been upset -- but we traded him specifically to shed salary and got back Justin Holiday and Moe Harkless, who both don't belong on an NBA court.  I'm so tired of correcting revisionist narratives on stuff like this.

I'm not going to be mad about our young GM being patient and cautious with the moves he's making.  From everything I can tell, Landry is doing a good job and being extremely diligent.

They don't have a single roster spot open and they don't have any PT available.

He's not available to be taken off of any hands. He's worth a lot and it's hard to get him.

No FA money, no open roster spots, no playing time if we want our young guys to play.

 here we go. That is crazy to keep KAT, Gobert, and Ant around. That's like begging for the 2nd apron.
