Maybe. I think the team would be less beneficial to him though than the Spurs were. Similar in some ways but even less size with the guards. Maybe less shooting.

I'd take at least eight of those guys ahead of Hield, but since when are contracts an indicator of who the better player is?

It isn't. We had a different point earlier (is Buddy being paid too much as a pure shooter?) and just randomly led us to comparing salaries.

Going off of contracts, Kenny Thomas was an all-star!

All I'm looking for is a team that is fun to watch, that has the potential to turn into a dangerous playoff team. Again, this isn't it. Why spend any more time on it? I certainly won't spend any money on it

At this point, I expect Yuta Watanabe to send us gift baskets.

Pretty sure Yuta's only still in the league based purely off the games he's dominated us and I'm saying this as a blatant Japan homer.

Well and on the flipside the pieces are just as bad for him. Fox off the ball is a bad idea, period. As hard as it is for Haliburton to deal with doubles or pressure on lead ball handling duties you're giving him NO help with Fox there to keep defenses honest. Gentry has already thrown that part of Lukes system in the garbage for the most part though.

Don't get me wrong, I think he's got an outside shot of blowing up into a true star.
But if it doesn't happen, it's 100% because of the aforementioned things.

Hey, I'd take him for the Kings. At least he plays hard regardless.
Within that context, I would say that Hield's contract is a function of the league deciding that three-point shooting is the most important skill to have, in the modern NBA. Which is an offensive way of thinking to me, but I don't have an NBA franchise to use as my personal toy.

How about you keep those bleak future you foresee to yourself lol

Bobby Jackson also. He has a good thing going in Stockton. Lets not ruin him already, or ever preferably

... since 2017?
That would be completely out of character for this fanbase. How can you possibly imagine that happening. This fanbase has its own statue.

I wonder what'll happen to that rusted old thing when they finally tear Arco down.

Really hoping this is when we bottom out and lose 10 straight

See 5 on 4 does lead to easy buckets!
Ahem. That would be Justin Sparkling Wine.

Na. A Hali led team has no expectations.

If we lose every game until the end of the season, there's a good chance we still won't catch the Pistons at the bottom of the standings lol
(Not that I don't mind. Just getting into the top three and ending up with one of Chet/Banchero/Jabari Jr. would be enough for me lol)

A Fox led team didn't have any expectations for the first couple years. Now look at us tearing him apart lol

Sad indifference. We know what’s coming… Aka nothing
