The numbers said he was an elite wr1, but I hope he gets some help because his brain looks fricked up.

He said it before in an interview as well about his jewelry being fake - people know how much he's worth, why does he need to wear a 100k chain to show off?? He spent that money investing instead.

Young players who spend it recklessly could learn a lot from players like him

Mobley is also an all-NBA defender and can stretch the floor. Fits better with LeBron since they are, undoubtedly, pursuing him.

Mobley is the definition of a high-end 3rd wheel on a championship caliber team.

He can defend very well. He doesn't need the ball in his hands. He can somewhat space the court (last year was 30%, but year prior was 37% on the same volume ~5 attempts/game)

He isn't a superstar, but if you're pursuing LeBron like you said --- you're wanting him to be the 3rd wheel for 1-2 years. He also plays both PF and C.


Now if this whole entire thing fails in 1-3 years; you move him because he'd be at 60mil going into his final year and he is most definitely not supermax money

I think you view this as two seperate transactions.

Move tm3 for picks and assets (let's say role players and 3 1sts)

When the time comes you move Poole and hawk with an asset (a 1st)

You come out with depth, a center, and assets to shuffle.

But wasn't it filler, clingan, Sharpe, and multiple picks?

We could very well just ask for less.

That being said - my biggest gripe is definitely sharpe's playoff run was horrid. It's scary how big a drop off it was and potentially having to pay him big money is terrifying.

I'm pretty sure that was nike forcing him to be up there

All in all - we're still missing a true starting caliber center.

Missi hasn't proven to take the next step.
Queen, zion, and matkovic are not even remotely close to being good enough defensively.

Now the true question is how do you get someone without giving up a 1st.

Getting Isaac is getting a 13-15 roster guy. You cannot bank on him being a part of the rotation.

I wouldn't be opposed, but we have 2 young talented players. Essentially saying that'll be our duo without a future to replenish for 5 years is worrisome.

If we were a market who can attract free agents I'd say sure, but we're not. You have to hope zion and dj can be of value because poole is 30mil that'll become nothing.

It's unfortunate we didn't take the route where we could absorb contracts.

We've now seen players like beef stew and claxton move as salary dumps
