Let's wait to see how much of the MLE OKC is giving Morris. I'm assuming all of it which is 4.4 million. If that is indeed the case then they are going to pay about, what, 9 million total after taxes?
That's a shocker to me. I really don't think he fits there. I wonder if his physical was shakey? Enough for the Rockets to back off.
That's not good at all. Curious to see what our backup plan will be. Going into the playoffs with Tucker manning the majority of the minutes at the four would be a massive failure.
I know that overall our roster is still good . But we haven't had any "wins" in quite some time . Our best roster additions have been lucky with farried and rivers . We've actively sabotaged ourselves with house and with the LT concerns . If our offseason is as bad as this .... I can see harden wanting out . And THAT would be a nuclear meltdown
Or maybe he just wanted to be a on a team sooner than later Or maybe he wanted to be on a team that he thinks has a better shot at the title Or maybe he wanted to be on a team that he could stick with next season Who knows! Bummer.
The media is doing everything they can to prevent that too. Every commentator other than Rob Parker (who gets portrayed as crazy and over-opinionated by his peers anyways) has been coming out of the woodwork saying something. "If he keeps up this level of play, Paul George is the MVP!" "Right now, Giannis is leading the MVP race by a mile.." Like.. not even a mention that they're neck and neck with Harden, but leading by a mile? The disrespect undoubtedly continues..
OKC was that deep in the luxury tax and still had that much MLE to spend ? Credit to their owner and GM for setting up and dealing with that situation . I'm confident our GM could pull it off (have maneuverability to spend while in LT ) but our owner doesn't think it's worth it
Man, I cant believe Morey who is super aggressive would be this conservative this year, I just do not believe it.
Man, he never claims anything 100% certain or makes any guarantees, why do you guys not understand that.
I never knew I could feel so dejected because my team was rejected by Markief Morris. I guess we will see if you can win a championship with one position rebounding; so far history has proven otherwise.
Harden is def carrying the bigger load than either paul george or giannis. But will that be enough to get him the award like russ got it over harden in 2017
Based on what? The entire team outside of Harden, Capela, and maybe Gerald Green have been awful relative to last year.
