The last few minutes of regulation were hard to watch.

I am an ACC guy, so I want basically everyone but Duke to do well in the tourney.

And damn that was painful.

Not sure I have ever seen a winning team make that mistakes down the stretch.

It’s a product of missing the 5th year Senior. He’s a glue guy that keeps it all together. I think his loss was most evident in the panic over the press break.

I was at a Tavern with my Dad and all his golfing buddies. Just a bunch of old men cussing loudly lol.

For sure he would have made a big difference.

And in a lot of ways it is harder to beat the press when you aren’t attacking it to score.

Still though…

Should have put that away in regulation.

They know watson likely getting suspended right?

I guess they want a clean slate, don’t think it’s ever that way with Watson there though. I still can’t believe they did a 100 percent guaranteed contract, guessing that is what got the deal done. The other owners have to be bristling at that one

Well I guess that answers your earlier question

 

[dtgold88]

You find anything on his this thing is structured?

Overthecap had something up and then took it down

I only know it's only $10 mil in 2022.

In fact, Pelissero is reporting we will pay Cooper and Watson a combined $66 mil in cash for 2022 but they will only be a combined $15 mil on the cap.

 

[dtgold88]

Probably the best example one could present

technically a 2nd rounder but I think this should count.

 

[dtgold88]

I got 8 games, reduced to 4 on appeal.

I think it will end up 2-4.

 

[dtgold88]

a good add as would think he would be a decent backup to run an offense designed for Watson.

 

[dtgold88]

wtf? objectively the trade was a good trade. This isnt about Watson's talent. why I did not want him. It never has been.

I still wish they did not do it and had Baker- without a doubt.

but objectively no one can say that trade was not really good. I heard rumors of 3 1sts, Hunt and Newsome. The 49'ers just traded 3 firsts for fucking Trey Lance.

the Broncos just traded Noah Fant- a very good tight end who was a recent first round pick, 2 1sts, 2 2nds, and a solid young defensive lineman for 34 year old Wilson.

Watson is an elite talent- and 3 firsts and a 3rd is less than I thought they would have to give up. Not only that- but they will get some picks back for Baker- at least more than a 3rd- so all in all, the whole cost is going to be 3 1st rounders (or less depending what they get for Baker).

shit- the "Commanders"- just gave up 2 3rds for Carson Wentz!!! lol

If memory serves if we combine the trade of the pick that became Watson and the trade to acquire Watson, we acquired 2 first rounders and a 5th AND have Watson. Houston acquired 3 first rounders a 3rd and a 4th an don't have watson.

 

[dtgold88]

I said very clearly it is a good trade for Cleveland.

But it is still hilarious how quick you flip flop once a player changes teams either to or from Cleveland.

How did he flip flop? Maybe I'm not reading it right but seems like he doesn't like acquiring him and wanted to keep Baker and has maintained this the entire time. Also says it's a good deal. Both can be true.

I was and am down with it more than him but I understand the angst.

 

[dtgold88]

Nope.

You have a very well established pattern with these issues. Clear to everyone here.

Not anyone basing this particular discussion on the posts and not the poster.

Knocked a bunch of people out of the survival pool I'm in.

Well done UNC.

For sure the Ravens are not thrilled.
