    14 million dollars a year is a lot to pay for Tari’s backup.

    100% correct. Read my post the day we signed him. I screamed NOOOOOO as we just paid 14 million a year for a guy with a career average if 7 points per game and is over the age of 30. Gotta love Stone!!!

    lol stop saying “14 mil a year.” His contract is like 12 million this year and 13 mil next. Every other year is non-guaranteed. Let him get his legs under him before crying nonstop.

    Do you realize he had surgery in June that was severe enough he missed camp, didn't return until Christmas Day (6 months later) and last night was only his 6th game? Everyone else is in mid-season form and he obviously is not. Conditioning, rounding into form and chemistry matter.

    Patience is at a premium on Clutchfans. Maybe there are just a lot of millennials or people that have never grown up.

    Is 22 games enough of a sample size now? He sucks and doesn't bring enough for that contract. If he were signed as a vet minimum then he may have a longer leash but not for 12 million
