What was the hardest part about losing Ayton?
Losing the 52nd pick who had never played in an NBA game
Damn straight it was. I couldn't believe we gave up Toumani in the deal. Pretty much the entire fanbase was high on him.
Dude looks NBA ready, plays with confidence and hustle, plays good defense, and is very athletic. He also improved every year he was in college which is always a good sign, and even developed a 3pt stroke. He has the build of a prototypical modern NBA PF. I could definitely see him being the steal of the draft.
I'll be surprised if he doesn't at least become a good rotation player.
Prospect hugging is the best. Next guy is “gonna be great!”
with how much money they're paying for their top end, losing really cheap rookie contract guys that they're paying peanuts for is huge though.
If a second round guy turns into an ok bench player, that's a huge loss for them. They're paying someone like that a little over 1m this year.
Vet min contracts are partially subsidized by league aren't they?
Yes, most of the salary is subsidized by the league and I believe it doesn’t count towards cap space either.
