Hell, if anything they've been too good to players...just the wrong ones. 

If Kemba were a true supermax level guy, he would've gotten it. The max is overused to begin with and he was eligible because he squeaked onto the 3rd team thanks to stats put up on a poo team.  Give him a competent teammate last year...and he's not on an All-NBA team.  He's getting the max he deserves though, and will earn every dime of it.  A Supermax is fine if you're KD, Giannis, Kawhi, LBJ, Curry, etc. Kemba though? A Top 25 player who had one All-NBA season and chances are he's on the downswing of his prime?  Bad for PR, but the right move.

After Stephen Jackson had played for the Bobcats, he came back with another team to play a game in Charlotte. He stopped me and asked how do players get into the arena. I was like dude you played here for a while you should know where the players entrance is. He's a dumbass but he's right this is an awful organization

Khris Middleton is getting a Max. I guess the Bucks didn’t have a choice, because if you lose him, you definitely lose Giannis. Plus, no one wants to play in Milwaukee, so you had to throw him the max. Reminds me of the Batum situation a bit. Shows the talent pool for elite players is not deep, either. 

Your post is spot on.

I agree with you that Kemba is not worth a supermax deal. I’m just befuddled that they let him go with absolutely nothing to show for it.

Middleton's contract will be a mistake, but like you said they kinda have to.  Especially with their window being now.  Also helps that their owners are thought to have deep pockets, a new arena, and may not be scared to spend.  Losing Brogdon will hurt, though.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
