That’s not bad at all
It's a good movable contract.

The League probably waiting for the Ben Simmons, Lillard, and etc shoe to drop.

All he needs to do is up that 3PT % up by 5% and he's gravy. His shooting being that inconsistent streaky like Lonzo is what got me not 100% feeling it.

But for 12.5 million. Could you do better... Not really.


Plus... I wasn't entirely feeling Heild with all drama around him and Walton. Even if Hield is shooting at an historic level. I rather Let TM3 and NAW cook with those minutes.

Once TM3 develops a little bit at creating his own shot. He probably taking that 2 starting spot by next year.

Also, the most important part to all of this...



Sato $10
Temple $5
Hart $12.6

=
$27 million

And

$17 million trade exception

That’s options folks.

But Griff really hasn't been some master deadline wizard. So, I wouldn't get your hopes up.

We need two to tango.

TM3 potential got me vibing even if rest of the off season looks kind of bad with shipping out 4 FFP in 2 years time with all you to show for it is Graham and Jonas.

Hopefully, we just found a 3rd star to slot next to Zion and Ingram.

Yeah, I know dawg. It's why I said kinda look bad...


1st Pick - RJ Hampton (Pass)

2nd Pick 10th Overall - Zaire Williams (Pass)

Also... It seems like our bubble was Murphy, Durante, and Kispert. We had Murphy at the top. So, we would of just drafted Murphy at 10th anyways. So, we made out pretty good with getting Jonas and still getting our guy.

3rd Pick - Lakers before they got the Westbrook and probably rebounding back to a conference finals so... 26-32 (Pass)

Last pick - Lottery Protected for Graham. We ball out or get our pick.

It's not like there was a Superstar up for sale or anything. So. Yeah....


TM3 got me mad excited that I don't really care anymore. Just ready for training camp.

That's who they got us drafting next season in the too early draft
