Briggs - when you first posted this, I didn't even read it because I thought it was crazy.
But after apparently agreeing to sign Noah at his age and injury history to 4 years, $72m, then this is a completely reasonable fear.
If we see any sophomore growing pains from KP, I absolutely believe our brain trust farts will consider moving him for a star player on an ending deal because that team is afraid to lose him for nothing- think OKC and Westbrook.
Maybe the package becomes KP & Rose.
And then this franchise is looking at another 15 years of suckitude.
I have very low expectations for this squad. We got 2 older players that have been hurt and have a history of bad advance stats. If we had the Phoenix medical staff, maybe there would be reason to hope.
If I am wrong, great. But I see my fandom being killed every day by this franchise.
I can't see 1 fan who has watched this mess for 15 years running wouldn't be wary of anything the owner might do. If we are 20-27 kp is not fitting in as well as thought possibly shooting sub40 and Durant is on a 1 year deal with okc and he becomes available to the high bidder we will see exactly how much the impossible truly is impossible. Now it would take the right storm the right scenario but anyone doesn't think this is an avenue think again. If I can recall fans were pretty high on danillo gallinari too
So it sounds like you're hedging here, Briggs.
People are willing to take the bet, so if you're that sure, lets do the paperwork.
I was a big fan of Gallinari, and believe he would have been an All-Star quality player without his injury issues, but Porzingis is the superior player by far, and he's only scratched his potential at this point in his career.
Got to show folks the money, Briggs.
EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?
