I'm curious what kind of minutes we promised Mathurin to sign here like that.



He knows that:

1) He will be in a contract year
2) He will have a greenlight to chuck
3) we will be bad

He is going to absolute try to score score score to get that next deal

Idk if my math is correct but trading Poole for Turner should get us under the tax



No one wants Poole

I think this is Joe trying to find their Julius Randle, NAW, or an even more ambitious Chauncey Billups (not happening)
Julius and Mathurin are similar as they were high draft picks who put up numbers but they were empty. Then he signs ironically enough a 2 year deal with the pels and averages a career high. Then leaves and continues that trajectory with the Knicks

It doesnt matter, Poole was always a salary filler. The asset is the 2nds or 1st for the other player.

No team can take back Turner or another $30mil player without sending it out. That's not where the value is.

Yeah, I’m concerned he’s going to be more worried about getting his rather than playing team basketball

Dumars did something good and we added a 17ppg bench player that we otherwise didn't have.

Can we go 1 day without turning a positive into a negative?

Very Unfun Bunch of you.
