Making $6.5 mill and is a UFA after this season. Do you keep him as a core piece and likely pay high for his services ($10 mill+ at a minimum) or deal him for assets now while you have a chance to maximise his value?
Tricky choice coming for raps. You'd love to keep him but if a team offers him some obscene like $14mill you either offer something as good or see the asset leave for nothing.
how much of it is driven by his contract year? the dude is good but the dude has problems, memphis gave up on him, rockets gave up on him, raps gave up on him before the intervention. the problem is raps ain't going anywhere without another piece, i don't think anyone is going to offer him $14, but maybe 4 at $45 something like that is realistic.
depends what masai wants to do...the more intriguing question is what does phoenix do. from what i read somewhere they have like 20M in capspace plus a potential 6 first rounders in the next 2 drafts. wtf?
Disregarding their record, I think the Bucks are the only obviously tanking team. Larry Drew is still messing with lineups for no reason halfway into the season for no other purpose than to confuse his players. They actually have some pretty good talent if everyone can play up to their potential. Sanders/Henson is a beastly frontcourt, idk what Ersan is doing. Mayo good scoring off the bench. Ante has the potential to be the best rookie in his class, Wolters is really crafty and a good backup. They just have to offload Brandon Knight and they'd have a solid squad.
Jose Calderon says the Pistons never made him an offer to re-sign with the team this summer, observes Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free-Press. “They were in contact with me, but I think they were waiting for Josh Smith, so I was just waiting and waiting, and Dallas came with a great offer … I couldn’t say no to that,” Calderon said.

Maybe up to 21/3. I don't think he would've gotten 4.
But in retrospect, we traded Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye so we could sign Brandon Jennings.
Someone else pointed out on BadBoys that this year's lineup could've been Calderon, KCP, Korver, Monroe, Drummond. Our defense is terrible anyways, but think of that inside/outside scoring. Jesus fuck.

Brooklyn still wins the fail of the night by a landslide.
I don't understand why that isn't an inbounds clock violation. Why are you allowed to decline picking up the ball to buy more time?

Pierce's sequence on that was so lol too. He pull the savvy vet move to buy more time then ambles down the court like an old grandma and heaves up a prayer. Still, Deron was fucking retarded with that pass. How hard is it too throw a long lob there?
Man it was awkward seeing Terrence Ross drop 81 fantasy points for me randomly a couple of night ago. Still wasn't my highest though, since I had melo for his 62 pt game, including a double-double in that.
Also, I cannot help but have my jaw drop at Durant's numbers. I'm too young to remember, but this must be what it was like to see Jordan play the year he averaged 32 ppg. Guy just scores at will.

You're taught from a very young age not to make that pass too. That should've been to Alan Anderson 100%. Shouldn't have even been considering Pierce.

FTFY
I don't blame Deron for that one, no one made a decent cut, and then no one came to the ball, he knew they has no timeouts.
