The latest numbers are 4 years $72m. All years guaranteed. With Mozgov verbal with Lakers, Phil will be backed into corner and concede to Noah's reps.
Basically we're phucked for 4 years.
Try-olling too hard.
LOL Try-olling, hilarious stuff.
What specifically about 4 years guaranteed of declining Noah is a good thing for this franchise?
I'll comment when that's a real thing.
Ahh, the ole hedge against one's self. Never fails.
Nope, it appears Noah will sign. When he does and the terms are known, ask me if you're inclined.
i just said I would.
So humor me. If it happens to be 4 fully guaranteed years, what is your stance? Even at 3 guaranteed it's still a pure gamble.
I won't like that its 4 years.
It's a gamble at 1 year, I don't even need it to be 4 years to say that.
you won't like it or its a gamble is not really coming out and stating that you think we made a bad move, no?
I don't like it but I get it.
Its a gamble but thats part of the ...
Of course.
Following professional sports has taught me to reserve judgment until something plays out and not as first blush.
And that's been before my position, as stated here consistently, LONG before Rose and Noah ever occurred to any of us.
Believe I said the same about Derrick Williams at the time.
well let me use this opp to say that I was very wrong about DWil ...
And that's sports forums. 'Sure I was wrong last time, but undeterred this time.'
World's worst track records, and it doesn't seem to matter.
That's hubris.
I'm an accountability guy.
Only downside, no upside? Whats our upside that if he has a solid year, kp may get some playoff exp? Or that next your maybe the Evan Turners of the world will choose us for 30 million per?
Options. Rose like it in NY, wants to stay. Has a year that picking up a 28 year old is something to consider. Or may has enough of a a year that him being a B option is a possibility.
Either way, Westbrook and Paul are options, and a playoff team is a different animal than a non-playoff team.
