Extremely 'I'm watching the Spurs game' take, and a prisoner of the moment one at that, but this stuff is truly revolutionary and breathtaking.

Seems as if I’ve reached my “old guy doesn’t like the young kids” stage of fandom.
That, or I’m just a kent.
Maybe both.

Hot take: I really don’t like the stuff Matas says.
Fans eat it up, and I understand why.
I’ll be on an island on this one, but hearing a sophomore talking about winning championships, being an all-defense guy and most improved etc., it sounds more delusional than it does fact-based confidence.

"But they're going to have $80m in expiring money next offseason!"
Yes, and after they give Coby $25-30m, re-sign Ayo to $15-20m, maybe a couple of other Jalen Smith-esque deals on the fringes -- and Pat's money still on the books -- they'll be at the cap line with the same team.
Cool.

You will see lots of talk about % of the cap, rather than the actual dollars.
That's a correct statement.
This Giddey deal, in isolation, is fine.
The problem is -- as it always is in CHI -- is they stack a bunch of meh guys on 15% of the cap and all of a sudden they're capped out with meh guys
That's a correct statement.
