This. Shameful stuff by KSE. Don't feed me the we matched bullshit either. I'm about sick of reading the vague "can't go in the second apron" without actually citing which part of the second apron would be prohibitive to something they actually do or would need to do. Have they aggregated salaries in the last two years? Does anybody think they'd be working the buyout market when so many Booth draft picks are a few more minutes away from being second team all NBA? It's such a convenient owner mechanism to avoid spending. After three years or whatever and you start losing your draft a lot, sure. But you go in now. He's 29. Boston is a second apron team. Because they're in a title window. If not now, when? You should be all in. The shooting on this team is going to be beyond pathetic, and the shooting was a major reason they went home in the second round last year. I 95% blame KSE, but Booth being drunk on his own draft picks is the other 5%. Losing KCP for Jokic's age 29 season to put a non shooter at the 2 is unforgivable. A three year deal is very tradeable in a year or two if you need to. Hat tip to you guys. Hope all are well! preach brother |

Folks - Plumlee is hot garbage on the court. Why are any of you crying over this? DJ is hot garbage. Plumlee is okay |

Harrison Wind said on podcast, while discussing Plumlee signing with Suns, that Nuggets will sign someone “considerably better than Plumlee” and probably in the next day or so. Seems he has heard something he’s not divulging. Scooter you ready to defend this when it doeasnt happen? |

Interesting. Was that specifically center related, or just in general? Kinda hard to imagine being able to sign a backup center that is significantly better than Plumlee. At least one who is realistically obtainable, anyway. About the only ones still out there are Theis, Bitadze, Smith, Eubanks, Bamba, and Holmes...but I wouldn't really say any of them are "significantly" better than Plumlee. Jalen Smith would be awesome, but he's one that I definitely don't think is signing for the TPMLE. I also kind of doubt they'll use it on a center anyway, as it's probably better to try to grab one of the better wings out there if possible. Because it’s not true…. It’s engagement farming |

You can hear Wind say that in link I posted. However, I should note he says “I predict Nuggets will GET a center”, not “sign”. So this could be via trade rather than free agent signing. Perhaps Zeke for Richards of Charlotte or Holmes of Washington? |

Guys - there's a lot of overreaction tonight. Good time to revisit the goal this off-season which is: Every decision right now should be made with the intent to beat the TWolves. The cold hard truth is: You don't want to pay $22m yearly to KCP. Not now. We don't need to shoot 3's to beat the Wolves. We do need Braun and Watson on the floor more - and we need both to get a full regular season under their belt, as rotation players, to get ready - specifically for Edwards. We don't need Edwards man-handling KCP (note: Braun and Watson do great against Edwards). We don't need to give Malone the option to play KCP over Braun or Watson - not against the TWolves. Lastly - we now take KCP's $15m, and Reggie's $5m, and hopefully, fill in the backup C and backup PG spaces. Wind is already reporting that a big is on the way (in addition to Holmes!) and rumors are we're targeting Westbrook - a pg that can drive to the hoop 10 to 15 times per game (exactly what we need). So - calm down, pussies. We will win the banner this season. The right moves are going to get done. We are pussies for thinking the idea of wasting Jokic prime should be criminal? You are just delusional when you say we will win the ring and the right move will be made. Just make the move lmao. Any move that isn’t signing DJ |

When they could just trade for the player or sign them. What are they waiting for? |

Wind saying Jokic is the one that wants Westbrook in Denver. scooterHow the f**k can you say this man isn’t spreading rumours? |

Duh saying that we dont need to shoot 3s to beat Twolves... This guy is just... Duh, go check our offensive rating in Wolves series before you start typing utter BS as you do ao often... No other poster gets my blood pressure up as high as you. We looked like a g-league team on offense and replacing CB over KCP will improve our chances?!

It’s not replacing KCP with CB that’s the problem. It’s replacing CB bench minutes with Strawther and whoever we bring in for the Holiday role. Maybe Holiday stays, but it doesn’t sound like it. Our depth took a serious hit, and we weren’t a very efficient 3PT shooting team to begin with. Jokic has to up his game, actually, to become a more reliable shooter beyond the arc. He’s never been a 40% 3PT shooter. It’s about time he figures that part out, because we need him to do better than 34%-35% from distance. |

3 years, 30 million The Clippers are losing Paul George and replacing him with Derrick Jones Jr. And the Mavs lost him. How is this one bad for us? for some reason I assumed the clips were way over the cap like us and couldnt afford any 3/30 deals. I dont blame DJJ for taking that one. its not bad in terms of net talent, im just getting sick and tired of every single team signing guys and we cannot get anyone. again, our bench is laughably bad. we cannot field a playable rotation for opening night. I would give the front office an A if they can get us a playable backup pg and either big man or wing. we need bodies. guys like naji marshall, tyus jones, tobias harris, monte morris, plumlee, DJJ and CP3 are just role players but they are 100 times better than our bench. id love to have bol bol back I told you earlier both LA teams are way under the cap. |

That's wjy they let him walk in first place. |

As it pertains to our squad, basically Calvin and the F.O. are really just gambling that our young guys (CB, Watson, Strawther and eventually Holmes), will all reach their full potential quickly by being thrown right into the fray and handing them more responsibility. Possible? yes. Probable? maybe.
The topic of wasting Jokic's prime years is out there in the public consciousness now so they at least know that they are on the verge of completely f***ing up or at least I hope they do.
Obviously we have financial limitations so that plays a major factor but those aside, going all in on the young guys, expecting them to reach their potential fast is a bold and risky strat.
I expect no surprising moves at all but if I'm wrong, i'm wrong.

Presti, Ainge, Masai all overrate and overvalue their assets because they know there will always be one GM out there that will eventually cave and will pay their exorbitant price. Lauri is not happening. let it go. |

Would be cool if we had picks to attach to MPJ to flip him for Markannen but unfortunately Calvin has traded every single asset that we have. It's so upsetting that this dogshit organization is going to waste an all time great, generational players prime.
