Phil keeps shuffling the deck every single season he's been here. This is looking very similar to the Isiah ERA, but instead of Curry and Crawford, we get Rose and Noah.

Players don't play well on 1 yr contracts, or expiring contracts, we have seen this since MDA and walsh were doing it. Players are not comfortable on and off the court, the focus is just not there.

When you sign guys for 2 to 3 yrs guaranteed contracts like we had during the 54 win season and the EWING ERA, you will get better production, and guys work harder and smarter and build better chemistry.

One yr deals result in players not giving a fck as sooon as a losing streak sets in because they know they ain't sticking around. If they do play well, from a individual stand point, but the team still loses, they're gone to the highest bidder, or a team with a better chance.

Dear god, Kevin Durant is not going to the Warriors. He's staying with OKC.

I'm sure he wasn't crazy about the Ibaka trade though. OKC got back a decent haul, but they continue to prove how cheap they are. They think they can win a title surrounding Westbrook and Durant with a bunch of rotating players on rookie contracts and that would not be very encouraging to me with all these other teams spending money.

Supposedly they consulted him. Oladipo and Westbrook is a great backcourt combo and they got Ilyasova to shoot and a pick. Not a terrible move I don't think.
