Happy about: Masai not giving out crazy money to mediocre players
Sad about: the fact that we still don't have a starting 4“The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority.” - Martin Luther King

There will be leftovers. Last year Scola and Biz were signed in the week following the 1st signing date,
Whether any of those leftovers will be worth it or within our price range is still questionable.
Was going to make a joke about Scola returning, but no way I could make it humorous.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

There's honor in showing appreciation. A tip of the hat was the right play no matter how he really felt. If everyone went around blabbing about how they really felt we'd be all burnt out long ago.

Yeah, there were huge problems in years past and still some with poor ownership, causing fanbase disenchantment.
Still, Hawks were 17th in attendance 2 years ago in their 60 win season - not good, but far from "empty".
Memphis was 18th, after years of success and also going 55-27. Yet no one disses the Grizz fanbase.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

Same as Parsons....
My guess is Ross would have got Anderson type money as a compare
4/80...
It's a function of the salary pool expanding,and, having to adhere to the parameters of the CBA where teams have to spend to 84$M to meet a floor commitment. Dont confuse the notion that giving a guy like Anderson a 20M$ dollar deal makes him a better player. It doesn't. It does make him a richer player which is fair as the CBA funnels back the TV contract money to the players through a negotiated percentage of Basketball related revenues.
Ujiri will not make a knee jerk type trade or signing unless it's a smart deal. We lived through making a deal for the sake of it and regretted quite a few of them during the Trader Bryan era.
It's only Day 3 of a 20 to 30 day window that is free agent frenzy. Time for patience and see which team overshot the mark and has to waive roster players due to salary consideration or they are overstocked with players.
Boston has to have 20 or more guys now...edit ..they have 21 players on contract with 15 roster slots...
How many PF can Orlando possibly have ?Last edited by Demographic Shift; Sun Jul 3, 2016, 02:02 PM.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

I think it might be a case of the Hawks getting the vibe that Al was leaving and so they pounced on D12 right away. That makes more sense than them courting Al yet at the same time not telling him what else they're doing great or getting his opinion on it.
Just like David Price did in Toronto and when he signed in Boston this year.
Don't read anything more into it than that.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.
