Since the 4mil is not problem to me cuz its not my money, I don't care.
MDA wanted in. The pay is good and he new it would be rough. The HOPE is this place could rock under the right circumstances.
Look at Memphis now. They basically got ZRandolph as part of the Gasol trade cuz they created cap space to absorb his contract. In the long run, the Trade with the Lakes makes them look good. Maybe we can give it at least 6 months before we pass judgement.
We now have cap room to keep Dlee, some pieces and Lebron. If it boiled down to DLee for JHill, and it might have, then Im keeping Dlee.
I don't disagree with Briggs at all and do think you play Jordan Hill and Toney Douglass but now things have changed. Not playing Hughes or Nate at times I think was correct.
Im not privy to what and how Jhill does in practice nor break down the film. I think there has been a sense of urgency (now gone) to make the playoffs this year and keep the attendance and viewership up. If Jhill or Darko could have filled a role they would certainly have played.
MDA had turned Dlee into an allstar and Chandler has also done quite well. The jury is still out our gallo and perhaps if he can work out in the summer we can see a full season from him. I believe last summer he was told to rest.
