Guy that fills a need for us for pennies on the dollar? Nah, lets go after old redundant players that take minutes away from our future potential stars.

Where is that Drake meme when I need it?

Boucher is literally older than everyone on the Kings not named McDermott or DeRozan.

Yeah but he wouldn't be taking away minutes from Carter, Ellis, Nique etc.

I'm not advocating for him because I'm pro tank/development but if Perry is trying to make moves to win this year, grabbing Boucher instead of looking into Westbrook would make a lot more sense.

Literally doing nothing makes more sense than Westbrook

Boo! I would have loved to give him a flier

This market is officially broken. No chance a very good player like Boucher should be on a minimum deal. He'd be in every teams rotation, easily

Brooklyn just got a very good defensive wing and a second for nothing while we sit in Westbrook rumors and roll into the season with one wing defender just unreal

Look, I get it, we need more size and length for roster balance, but let’s not act like Haywood Highsmith was going to move the needle on the upcoming season. He’s a slightly better Kessler Edwards.

There’s also a chance he doesn’t come back this season.

Yep. He was so good that Miami gave him away.

Highsmith has the CWebb injury

When did he get hurt

I don’t understand this move for either team.

 

[Tetsujin]

I don’t understand this move for either team.

I mean, I get it for Brooklyn since it’s not like their cap space was going to just roll over to next year but I don’t know if the salary tax savings really help the Heat do much of anything.

Trading a guy with a meniscus injury to sign a guy coming off of a torn ACL and Achilles is peak Baalke-ing. Wait, wrong sport.

The Bulls and Josh Giddey have agreed on a 4/$100M contract. (Link)

That's basically the last domino to fall outside of Kuminga. Do the Warriors commit cap suicide by letting Kuminga sign the QO, or do they pick themselves up a mid-sized contract that will be movable later? Tick...Tock...

Or do they just compromise like Giddey and the Bulls did. They essentially met in the middle. It's hard to understand why the Warriors don't just move off the team option in the 2nd year. A two year contract isn't crippling them lol.

Hard to see Kuminga making a compromise with the Warriors at this point. That ship sailed when they put the Kabash on trade after trade after trade option. At this point, any contract he sign is probably a contract to play. And they will not feature him so he’s stuck underpaid and underplayed. I think he’ll hold tight and go out as an unrestricted free agent. . I think he’ll hold tight and go out as a unrestricted free agent if they can’t make a deal before deadline.
