MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[KillerLeft]

If we can trust Nico, Stein and Cato they entered the offseason with the intention to find a legit starting center. If the end result is a rotation that features Powell/Holmes/Kleber/Lively they missed out. But it´s not the end of the world. Just say it how it is. They did not like any of the potential trades for bigger names like Capela or Ayton and decided to take another approach.

Doesn’t it seem like that’s the case? Exactly how you describe it? 

I think they believe Holmes/Lively gives them the leeway to avoid getting fleeced for a highly paid guy they probably won’t want in a year and a half, and that those guys are so highly paid they might be able to get one of them for a MUCH more favorable asset cost at some point soon. And, I think they might be right. Either they’ll get Capela (or someone else) on their terms, or they’ll get busy bridging the gap to Lively with Holmes/Powell. Since the latter path probably gets to the bottom of the Lively situation faster, I can’t even predict which route is better at this time. They both have merit, and your draft capital is secure and ready to grow for future use, either way.

Do you just mean you want them to SAY all that? I don’t think they will, but when they hype Holmes and tell us Lively is coming along quickly, that’s kind of like saying it, no?

I don't know what we are getting from Holmes, but I bet its more than we got from McGee.

Oh, I agree. To me, this is a LOWER hurdle than “plays more than Bertans.” I would be shocked if Holmes doesn’t give them more than McGee.
