It was something along the lines of 'we don't want to pay a dollar more than we have to in free agency, and if that extra dollar matters to the player, that's probably not the kind of player we want anyway'. That's a fairly hard stance to put out there. If Stein's tweet is true, maybe it means that the 4/$90 is Weltman's line in the sand? As in "here's what we're willing to offer you. If you get more money elsewhere, it's up to you to decide whether to take the extra cash or the stability". Just trying to come up with some sort of explanation for a bad deal. Thinking more about it, the language "in excess of 90 million" I bet it's a heavily incentivized contract to get to that number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted June 29, 2019 Perhaps we're doing a sign and trade of Fournier and Bamba for Russell. Or Brogdon. Or someone else amazing. Let's go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's go! We should leak that. You know if we trade Bamba then he is destined to become a really good player, maybe an All Star. We are good at doing that.

ML6 520 Report post Posted June 29, 2019 Trading Bamba -- the living/breathing embodiment of WeltHam's entire basketball philosophy -- in favor of a long-term commitment to Vooch would truly be one of the most shocking things this organization has ever done. That would floor me. And yet somehow step one of that process (signing Vooch) appears to be on the horizon. I need a drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't make sense to invest in a guy we won't get use out of Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm saying that decision in the first place (which might be happening) is flooring given our FO's philosophy. In other words, just picking Vooch over Bamba in a vacuum is weird. Weltman & Hammond doing it? Wouldn't have believed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the case we are in much much much worse shape than I even thought. Vooch is a good player. He's a walking 20 & 10 on a off night. I'm not defending him but let's juts see what happens here. Management will definitely have a plan and they do not budge. WeltHam have been in this game far too long to not know whats what. Why do you think they brought BHill back to coach? Because he was tearing it up after he left? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
