I’m not sure I’m following your point. Who are you saying appeared to feel protected and entitled?

They may have resulted from one incident, but they are not just about that one incident.

It is extreme to make the point clear. All respect, but I guess we just see the point differently.

You are taking the analogy too literally. It’s a comic strip that tries to make the general point more obvious.

True, there are bad seeds everywhere, but the BLM movement is not about litigating any one particular relationship or interaction. Can one find an example of a black cop beating a white man? I’m sure one can. However, to make an argument at that level is completely missing the point and leads to...

well, if we are really worried about losing him, is it really an overestimate if someone else also sees his potential and gives him a decent offer. It's not like 3 years for 15M total is a huge commitment for most teams. However, to a guy with his injury history might be worth it to grab as...

You’re missing the point. It does not matter that he’s currently not as good as Beli

And that’s the rub. As he is currently constructed, Bags is not a good fit in the current nba. However, he has the tools and needs time to see if he can become one. We are very likely a worse team when we give him court time to try to figure it out. Injuries don’t give him court time. Its...

I have no idea what Hawks are doing with the dedmond acquisition. You also have to consider Collins in that front court rotation, who I guess they now view exclusively as a PF.

When your team sucks, nobody likes any of the contracts on your team (save maybe an obvious bargain like Holmes). You pay the players you think will lead us to some wins and we go from there. From my perspective, there is a good reason most of the competent teams around the league were rumored...

:confused: It seemed to be right on the money to me. quite a bit more nuanced than we'd normally get from a national writer.

I really don’t think there’s any third level thinking on this by management. For whatever reason they decided they wanted to see if he’s worth the max salary they are allowed to pay him next year and I guess betting nobody else will offer something better or that he would take less to leave. The...

I’m not sure it’s anything more than just shaking things up, but with that said....I think they know they want Bogi and I suspect most smart front offices around the league believe he’s the more valuable of the two players. If he can excel in a starting role in his natural 2 guard role, it will...

cool....at least this generates some interest for me to watch the game. Curious to see how buddy handles this.

I would guess Fox, Buddy, Bogi, Barnes, Dedmon
