Can't knock the hustleQuestion is, where does that money hit them, operating, salary, etc?
Operating, he's not on the books since he's been out the league over 2 years.
What?!! How the **** is that possible?MF'er retired.
Dude's finesse game is STRONG. Word to all the sweet talking he did to get out of that Mavs situation.
Bruh said verbatim "My knee hurts and I need to be close to my family at this time for my daughter sake."
Signed with OKC RIGHT after, which is about 1-2 hours away from Dallas.
Best I've seen.
Knicks still paying him too, just goes to show how important it is to have powerful friends and be well liked, ain't know way in hell he ever deserved that job to begin with.

I hated the pick when it was made because everyone who did their research pre-draft knew he was ******* LYING.I wasnt crazy about the thon pick at the time but I wasnt mad about it either. If he rely is older then 19 however my opinion drastically changes. If dude is 23 and takes 4 or 5 years to develope whats the point. Hammond fell in love with dude and you can hear it in his voice when he talks
They could've easily traded down & got Thon in addition to 1 or 2 more assets whether it be an additional rotation player or picks.
But instead Hammond drafted a 23 year old super project at #10, like you said.
Awful choice.
I'd be surprised if they get one productive season from him before his rookie deal is up. He has a LONG way to go & he's already 23. Ideally he'd already be 3-4 years deep in the league.
All of this is null & void if fam is really teenager.

Said the exact same thing, pick is a huge reach.

players can agree to deals on 7/1 but not sign until 7/7, correct?

Yeah theyre well on their way to ******* the future up for this young core. Nearly every personnel decesion they have made since kidd arrived has been *** with the exception of drafting Jabari. The GV trade has to be one of the worst in history
. Hopefully they have some luck on their side.

Bucks could have easily traded down. Let's say they selected someone else at 10, who would you all have selected?

Maker might have been a "reach" based on what the general perception of his draft range was but there were plenty of reports right before the draft that he was a definite first round pick. Who knows if they tried to trade down or not? If they couldn't...I don't see what's wrong with drafting the man they wanted.
Based on talent and potential...I don't know why Chriss is perfectly fine at 8 but Maker is such a shock at 10.

He was 2nd round in damn near every mock I've seen & report I've read based on questions about his age.
Chriss doesn't have that issue.

Would you have selected him knowing he was 23??
Damn near every average Joe was saying he was older. You'd expect more out of a organization that consists of people who are paid to make decisions.

At least they have Giannis and Bari for the next 7 years.
GV trade was trash, MCW move was trash and so was the Monroe signing.

Exactly, I'm willing to bet no other team was taking him in the 1st especially after those reports leaked about his age.
They coulda easily did a deal with Sac since they love getting fleeced, I don't think there is any way you could paint this as a good move.
