From all these game thread comments on our summer league team it sounds like 82-0 and we trade for Dame LETS FLAP

It's like these analysts just watch the highlights and see the made shots and lobs but don't watch the games.

These young guys are playing with effort and urgency. We need to see if it translates to the rest of the team.

It's all about the message. There are only so many x's and o's. Players that believe in the leaders on the team win.

It’s going to be a near minimum deal full of team options. Even if all he does is play hard every day in practice pushing others, there’s value in that as a 15th man.


I don't think that future of our franchise depends on a 4 year minimum contract, but it's not difficult to find fringe guys who will practice hard in hopes to make the league. Using a shorter deal allows you to rotate more often and find a gem like Naji. Again, I'm sure we will be just fine even if Didi never contributes meaningful minutes

I guarantee the 4 years was what the Pels wanted and gives them longer, cheap control of a player they clearly believe has more upside.

Didi may not have progressed as much as we’d like but he still does some things well. He’s a physical defender, he passes well, his shot looked decent on those 2 3s he made in a row. So let’s not act like he’s done as a player and should head back to Australia.
