@DLineCo Yeah Americans won’t put up with the pharmacy being closed on Tuesday, but we’ll put up with kids being shot and mothers dying during childbirth. Maybe it’s not so much a bug/window situation as a priorities being completely out of whack problem
@jmorton78 From a purely cynical point of view (as a fan I want Jokic for life), it’ll be a huge percentage of the cap that will take him to what, age 37?
@AndrewDBailey This is funny because before any of this went down I had a discussion with my brother about who says no in a Brown/Murray swap and he scoffed until I started showing him the numbers and he came around to Denver says no. Then I said anyways it’s a bluff so Denver can get White
@HPbasketball I mean, you don’t have viable obvious paths to improve the roster. The question is if you think the roster is good enough as is. If not, then you need to swing for high variance moves like a Jaylen Brown trade, that maybe has a 25% chance of making the roster better
@Adam_Mares You said it right there. High upside low floor meaning high variance. You want variance if you don’t think you’re good enough to win. Not sure there are many moves out there with the potential to raise Denver’s ceiling. So is the ceiling high enough already or no?
@AndrewDBailey@DLineCo You basically hope that Jamal Murray has been a huge beneficiary of being next to NBA history’s greatest offensive engine and that Brown’s appalling inefficiency gets that same boost. And then it’s hard to argue you’re not upgrading defensively
@jmorton78 Seemed more about getting useful players on cheap deals whose contracts were under team control. Defeated the purpose when they started handing out big contracts to those guys (Zeke, Christian)
