    Another 40% career shooter like VanVleet?

    The number of bricks this season will be unbelievable.

    There is a minimum salary that teams must meet. If I understand it right it's 90% of the salary cap. In other words we can't just carry our salary cap space from season to season waiting for the right player to become available.

    Looking at the market, what other player is available to meet that minimum thresh hold?

    Have we confirmed all 4 years guaranteed? It is probably me just being hopeful but I’m wondering if the third and fourth years our team options and that is why we are paying more upfront?

    I couldn't care less about his being a d******d off the court

    Hes my least favourite player to watch in the league. And my favourite team just gave him $20m to take contested shots, while bricking wide open ones.

    I'm at a low point

    I’m convinced people don’t actually watch basketball and just go by narratives.

    We need Morey as a GM for Free Agents and we need Stone as a GM for the draft.

    While this is true, it doesn’t mean we strap our future to guys like Brooks because of it.

    I haven’t seen contract details, but I’m hoping there are options in Brooks and/or FVV.

    Stone needs to be fired on the spot if we fail to make the playoffs next season.

    We locked up half of our cap space in FVV and Brooks for the next 3-4. Dumbest GM in the league.

    We were bidding against NOBODY.
