Is Jerry West losing his touch? No way I'd pay Blake "DNP-Injured" Griffin the full 5 year max

I wouldn't either but with CP gone.....they need a face of the franchise type. BG is it.

 

[The Q]

Just pissing money away. Paying Blake that and for hiring Jerry West (if he was against it and didn't listen)

in a world where mike conley makes 150m...this isn't nearly as crazy as it seems.

but it is risky.

It's not that bad.....sure BG is injury prone......but when he's healthy he puts up 22, 9, and 4.

They need to go out and hire a trainer.....somebody that can work with BG on not getting hurt so much.....wise investment.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the face of the franchise, Blake Griffin's walking boot!"

Nah. Sometimes teams just need to walk away. I'd offer 2 years max money + 3rd year player option. Would have put him in line to get paid again with the 10 year vet pay bump I believe. If he walked, he walked.

he probably has an opt out for that 10 year vet pay bump.

Hayward is expected to have that opt out in his contract too.

In the summer of 2018......RW, PG, and James to the Lakers, bitches!!!!!!!!!

 

[Heatles84]

Hahaha Indy did all that holding out for This?

Boy. Danny Ainge is looking bad right now. He had all of those assets, yet OKC gets Paul George for that?

I always knew Ainge would screw it up.

Exactly.

 

[Heatles84]

Ainge.......LOL

I'm more than convinced now that Heyward's coming to Miami.

In the summer of 2018......RW, PG, and James to the Lakers, bitches!!!!!!!!!

Hell, if I'm James, there's no reason why I'd ever leave the East now. All the good players are going West.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Biggest loser in all this?

The Celtics.

 

[Bolts]

Ainge.......LOL

Of course Hayward is going to Boston, who wouldn't want the opportunity to play with Isaiah Thomas, the 2018 Nets 1st round pick, and the Kings 2019 1st round pick? That could be the start of a dynasty.

 

[Black Adam]

Paul George to the Thunder. Take that bitches!!!!

and if HE leaves after this season...?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Hell, if I'm James, there's no reason why I'd ever leave the East now. All the good players are going West.

Only 2 of the top 15 layers play in the East. Both play for the Cavs.



But, he's outtie next summer for sure.

 

[DJ Fieri]

and if HE leaves after this season...?

He will.....it's a rental. And RW and PG working together? I don't see it.

Oh it's likely not if. They need Oladipos bad contract off their book, it's a great trade even if it's only one season.
