Article: Ujiri Resting Heavily On Maintaining The Status Quo
All those fancy words and yet the bold still makes no sense to me.
I can understand the logic that resigning DD limits what additional moves can be made and is therefore "painting ourselves into a corner".
But if DD is gone (either walk or trade), then Masai has more cap space and many of the positive attributes still remain; so more options for the team's direction. He can sign a cheaper version of DD (Henderson), he can slide Carroll to SG and add another SF, slide Ross into SG and sign a PF, trades galore, and draft picks. So by maintaining cap space/flexibility and finding ways to replace DDs scoring, isn't that by definition the opposite of "painted into a corner"?
You read Snooch's comment for what you wanted/expected, but that is really on you more than Snooch.
As for your question regarding DD's extension; been discussed plenty of times but anything north of $17M would be large for his production.
Edit - oh and it's important to note that nothing posted on a forum is unassailable. By virtue of being on a forum, anything can be contested/questioned/defeated. If you think that's the case then I suggest you start a blog.
