    All along, I've been of the belief that we should resign Ross if it's at all possible to get him on a decent contract. When you're building a team, you don't let guys like him go without at least trying to keep him. Now that we've kept him past the deadline, it seems to me that we feel pretty good about resigning him. He seems like a cultural and scheme fit with the direction we're going and it's always a good idea to have a couple vets like him and DJ.

    Fultz/Ross/JI/AG/Bamba.....man the potential of that lineup has me really excited.

    Getting back to the "Bamba has trouble handling the ball" discussion- I have noticed that he loses a lot of loose balls and rebounds where he briefly gets control and then gets stripped. I chalk that up to him being a weak, incredibly long and skinny 19 year old and it doesn't worry me at all. He's going to fill out over the next few years and develop some man strength to go along with his insane length. I'm still 110% on the Bamba bus. I'm super excited by what I've seen this year. The motor thing could be a little concerning, but I think it really is nothing more than a kid who is playing against full grown men. I see timidness due to being overpowered more than a guy who doesn't care.

    A buddy told me our FO is making some of the most money of any FO in the league. Can anyone confirm that? 

    If they are they’re getting paid to do about as much as Mosgov does. 

    They'll be valuable when they become expiring contracts and we can perhaps flip them for a couple of promising young scouts.

    Become homeless. Keep your job. Use all of your money to buy lotto tickets. If you are lucky, you will win enough to be able to not work anymore.

    That's basically the same strategy our FO is employing, metaphorically speaking.

    Does that off-set Vuch's production and his poor shooting though? Idk. He's obviously a much better defender than Augustin as well.

    A complete shift in our offensive mentality and pace will offset the loss of Vuc, IMO. Transition, lobs, cuts, movement are all things that should improve.

    Man, am I seeing correctly that Ball is shooting 41% from the foul line? How is that even possible? Shaq’s worst season at the foul line during his 19 year nba career was never even that bad. 

    Crazy to me a professional nba player, a PG at that, can be that atrocious from the foul line. That’s alarming. 

    It's definitely worrisome. I'm starting to mentally prepare for this trade and I'm working on convincing myself that a lot of his problems are mental and situational. LA is a circus and I think he could benefit from a change environment, coaching, media, etc.
