I mean, it's no excuse not to play well - I still dominate my local drop-in games despite blazing directly beforehand Norm just seems a little...lackadaisical in his approach, compared to the player I thought he was.

He's since been passed by siakam, Poeltl, fred, Delon and OG..most younger, drafted higher, and OG took the "cerebral assasin" character and amplified it. So norm is now just another young guy in a sea of them succeeding

People have thrown Wes Matthews out there as a name to target, but if Norm could shoot that's a moot point. And if he can't he's at best like a Shumpert type player.

I still have trust on Norm. He hasn't just been "lucky" in two playoff series. He has the capability to bring something to the table. He caught lightening in a bottle for significant periods in two seasons. The talent is there. He will figure it out.

Someone had talked, (probably Dan), about how Norm's salary counted as only a million-something until a certain date before it goes up to 10 million annually and that if we traded him prior to that specific date it'd potentially be easier or better to move him, as there'd be no massive return in salary. Was that date the draft? Can he still be moved for a million dollar return or are we up to taking big bucks back in a trade with him now?

Some hard decisions ahead for Masai if he wants to keep FVV. Given Brooklyn paid picks to dump Mozgov for Howard and pick up capspace for 2019, it may be really tough to find a buyer for Norm (or JV).
I wonder if we just go into the season in the tax and try to pump their value so we can unload one or both.

We'll see what Masai can dig up for Norm trades in the next 10 days. And if nothing happens then, it will be an interesting summer. I wonder if they think LeBron leaves the East, if they just double down and bring everyone back, pay a big tax bill, and plan to pull the chute next spring/summer if they need to, when there will be more cap space and an easier market for their expirings.
