    If we lose this game with KD playing just rest him and pack it up.

    We wont be able to keep him as he is an unrestricted free agent we dont have money to keep him as we are at the apron already. I dont really want to lose picks for a rental that wont change the final outcome.

    You will have to spend so much frps to get other teams to accept their salary. Other teams wont accept dead salary for nothing.

    I was fine giving Adams $13 mil per with the injury history. But I wouldn’t have compounded that risk by giving an injured DFS $14 mil per. With $75 mil locked into Fred and KD that’s too much old injury risk. And that’s why Stone shouldn’t be able to get away with scapegoating injuries for this yr’s team.

    That contract single-handedly derailed the rebuild.

    That extension means nothing. They aren’t even competing.

    It meant something in the offseason. Dont use the present times to rewrite the past.

    We cant get them without trades. Teams wont take dead salary for nothing.

    You keep saying they would have fit here yes all these guys would fit here the problem is they are unrestricted free agents and will be gone next year.

    So what? 2 second rounders arent enough to accept dead salary. They already got 2nd rounders for these guys to begin with.

    Plus they are rentals. You understand that? They gone after the playoffs

    We don't know wolves were trying to get greek so if stone works he could have maybe made a deal before the wolves went back on ayo.

    He would still be gone as he is a UFA lol. You keep ignoring this. You cant force UFA to agree on a deal.

    We don't know that and if he is gone. We just lost 2 second rounder and 2 dead salary that's still a win

    Why will 2 second rounder be enough for two dead salary when they already got 2 second rounders for him straight up?

    And yes we know that cuz we cant offer him much money to keep him around. We are limited by our salary cap to keep him.
