The first priority is the draft

-Masai Ujiri

[thead]

Coach Casey is our coach for the future there is no question about that

-Masai Ujiri

[thead]

Masai has not comitted to a max deal for DeRozan, says backup 3 and starting 4 are the positions of need

[Miekenstien]

"will you be willing to promise demar a max contract publicly before negotiations begins"

"no and fuck off arsehole"

[thead]

Masai seems to be leaning towards trading 27 or doing a draft and stash, does not want to put anymore young talent on the team

[thead]

says already got 4 young players to develop

[Miekenstien]

having chicken of the sea for lunch. paul jones making it now or he is fired.

[thead]

Yep. Wonder if he's leaning on trading JV, and resigning Biyombo.

[Barolt]

I really find it interesting that he didn't commit to DeMar's max.

seems more like wants a 4 that can play with both and empty pat and ross for the space. desire to resign james was a surprise and makes me happy. speaks to james having really matured

[Gambino]

I really find it interesting that he didn't commit to DeMar's max.

Even if he planned to offer that, it would be horrible negotiating to commit to it when he could potentially talk with his agent and get him down to a lower number.

[Miekenstien]

I really find it interesting that he didn't commit to DeMar's max.

why would anyone publicly say they will give the most amount of money for anything when negotiations are coming up? why?
