Fernandez is still playing in Spain, right? Is part of that money intended to buy him out of his current contract? Good idea. Real Madrid connection and all. HOWEVER, I was really thinking about Tomjanovic. People here tend to undervalue veteran leadership. RE: AROUND the NBA: Dec 22 Tip-Off, 72 gms | Harden no-showed HOU practice - SleepingHero - 12-10-2020 Im shocked that PG signed an extension. But like others have said it probably makes the most sense for him given his recent performances. Lock up that money while you're still considered valuable. Further, I hope Harden goes east. Make that conference as competitive as possible.

I'd rather max out Letterman and drag him out of retirement or even settle for Conan at the MLE. Hey can be plenty funny off of the bench and as a spot starter.

I agree with Conan at the MLE, but if I'd only do that if Jon Stewart wasn't available RE: AROUND the NBA: Dec 22 Tip-Off, 72 gms | Harden no-showed HOU practice - KillerLeft - 12-10-2020 (12-10-2020, 03:29 PM)SleepingHero Wrote: Conan at the MLE is a STEAL no matter how you look at it. Yeah. For whatever reason, the media hype machine has never really gotten behind Conan (only one all-star appearance???) but the analytics show that he is one of the most effective in-show hosts of all time. He's a difference maker, and still in his prime. The best part is that I think we can get him on the cheap.

But is he a team player or a locker room drag? At least he has height. You can't teach height.

Yeah, and even @"Kammrath" should be happy with his "hairspan"...lots of stats point to the idea that taller hair leads to winning comedy.

Short drive so I didn't hear much, but he commented that the ability to free up cap space next summer with the expirings and TOs was not intentional. They didn't really have a plan powder and that they would have moved on Jones and Richardson regardless, it just turned out to give them (potentially) a lot of cap flexibility next summer. One thing I forgot to mention, but it's significant. Cuban says that the Mav's organization is NOT going to lay anyone off just to save money. Due to the empty arenas, roles may change to handle the current business environment. He expects some natural attrition due to better offers, etc. etc., but he says he has been financially fortunate personally and he doesn't need to make more money. He says releasing an employee in these economic conditions will be a hardship and he is not going to do that just to save some money. Sorry, I forgot about this before. He sounded sincere to me. Maybe some of us who are closer to the organization will have a different view, but I'm going to give him a big "Hell Yea!" for now.

He used to play with Josh Green in college, too.
