yeah like Mike posted earlier in the week the GM's ability to acknowledge a bad deal or contract and pivot away ASAP is extremely important.  I find the GM's on more solid footing can do this because they have earned the trust of the people that hired them.  You aren't going to be right all the time.

I would be cautious with some of these all star older guys and offering the big extensions.  Westbrook, C Paul, Harden, Lowry etc.  Chris Paul has been great for Phoenix in the grand scheme and has really done everything possible off the court to try and stay in shape and healthy but he gets hurt all the time and I think the Pelicans series took a lot out of him.  He played GREAT in games 1,3 and 6 of that series but man they made him work for everything and chased him all over. He was toast and hurt in the series versus Dallas

Roster construction in the NBA is fascinating really and what makes the league so popular in many ways. So interested to see what some of these teams do in the off season
