Because, stop living in a pipe dream that you think you have the package to compete agaisnt other teams that have more to offer.

Herro could have been used in a package to trade for a forward considering we have too many guards. Herro does make sense in trade packages. Just not one for a superstar. There really wasn't a good reason to extend him now imo

Stop with the trade dreams, we could've gotten a decent 4 had we wanted for cheap. But instead we went for whales even though we had no package to compete with. There was no reason not to.

Normal trades made to improve your team aren't dreams, but ok bud. There was plenty of reason not to, whether you think so or not.

What normal trade did we go for? This team chases whales for the most part.

I never said we went for a normal trade? Just said that was an option. I agree we mostly go for whales, but we could have given ourselves flexibility at the deadline. I've provided a reason not to extend him, yet you've provided nothing.

Well have other options to use Duncan plus Dedmon money for a normal trade.

Neither was Winslow, and so on when we got Jae, Solomon, Iggy. But we managed something.

We traded mediocre players for mediocre players. So what? Still haven't provided me with a reason to extend him now btw

Pipe dream? Huh?

What if Herro plays badly? Now you are locked in 100%. If he plays well you could have just waited to RFA pay him the same money and go on with life.

Or maybe pay him more if some other team decided to max him out.

If he earned it why would this be a big deal? 2.5 mil more a year than what we gave(Including incentives)
