Nice Anderson reference!

But he’s not going to have time to rest from the season, and work on his game. You don’t get the needed practice and repetition when you’re playing with a national team. I’m a little surprised Orlando is letting him play again this summer.

I doubt it, as I think he is one of the pieces that Phoenix would require

I think the only way we exercise Harris’ option is if we have a specific trade lined up.

I’m not sure that would be enough for Cleveland. I still like AB’s potential, but I don’t think I would do this if I were them.

I tend to agree with Shine on this. I would rather keep Goga and include Isaac or Dell, but I like the framework of the proposed trade.

But I still can’t give reactions! +1

While I tend to think you are frequently too critical of our young team, I 100% agree with you on this statement!

So I think that the decisions on our option contracts, MWagner, Harris, Joseph, and Houstan are all due 6/29; several days after the draft. That means we have a little time to see who we have “coming in” before making final decisions on these players. Personally, I think we probably need to move on from Harris, I think we pick up Joseph’s option (cheap, good third string, but can do more if needed) and I’m on the fence with Houstan. I would love it if we could opt out of MWagner and “re-do” it for an extra year with a cheaper average. I think Harris is replaceable, and DaSilva might make Houstan expendable. I think Joseph’s contract still qualifies as a veteran contract, so the NBA picks up a portion of it.

I don’t think he provides anything that we don’t already have with DaSilva

It may also mean that the agents not letting them or prospects aren’t interviewing for teams picking outside of a certain range.

I'm not actually crazy about either of those options, but I think Sabonis is a slightly better fit, as he is an actual center. Giannis is a PF, and I don't think you can play Paolo, Franz, and Giannis all in the same lineup. I don't see either Paolo or Giannis making the move to play center.

I’d ⬆️ this , but I have not been able to post reactions for over a month!

I would like to keep Black if possible, I think he’s still got a lot of upside and strikes me as a guy who would come back to haunt us later. I think he could be the focus of our bench mob and a sixth man in the next year or two.

Wow, that’s a tough question, but I think I would probably have to say yes. I really like Franz more, and I think he’s the better defensive player, but Luka is better offensively and I think he’s better at improving his teammates. To me it’s a lot closer than I expected.
