Do you realize how few players have ever won championships while being one of the top paid players in the league? It's a very, very small list, and basically top 50 all-time NBA players only.
So if DD's getting the max, better it's somewhere else than herre.
People are living too much in the moment. I don't know why I'm surprised same thing happen after game 1. Everyone needs to relax and realize 2 games isn't going to make Masai change how his building this team.@Chr1st1anL

Honestly if we're talking about attracting free agents I really doubt any free agent would think "Masai is so savvy, I wanna play for his organization." All stars attract other all stars and even though I might think that Powell will be a special player, I still think that a free agent would be more enticed to play with Lowry and Derozan, over Lowry and some kid named Powell.@Chr1st1anL

How do you think we get that star?
Because to me it's apparent JV won't break out unless we make him a focal point which only happens when DD's playing like trash

Chris Kaman was an All-Star!! Does Kaman plus DeMar make us a championship team?twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

He has to say he's going to pay DeMar, regardless of whether he's planning on doing it or not. Also, Masai runs the tightest ship in the NBA. His true plans are basically never known prior to him executing them.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

I'm cool with DD walking if KD is coming in but, not for Powell/Ross. Even know I really like Powell his still a rookie. Ross is just too inconsistent.@Chr1st1anL

Lowry - Batum - JV would a big three that suit each other's playing styles better than Lowry - DD - JV

He runs a tight ship but some things he flat out says and the way he's handled questions about demar's free agency remind me of the way he handled them about Kyle two years ago.
