    Might have been the most awkward looking game winning shot I've ever seen, but then again, that's kind of how he looks when he plays about half of the time.

    Most certainly in some part due to him, but you went waaaaaay too far and he's been feeding you your words back in a crow form.

    Too far? Who are you to decide it's too far. If I want to say f*** Reaves, I can and will; you don't' get to decide that.

    I'll only eat crow if he puts us on his back and win a PO series or game for me. Glad we won tonight, but be careful what you say right now when we're in October. I keep receipts.

    You can keep mine, too.

    :)

    To me, the funnies part -- we all knew the ball gonna go to AR. And we all, in our head, thought -- he's gonna save us.

    That's... worth at least another 5mil per.

    Oh, everyone will. Just don't be moving the goal posts when the chickens come to roost.

    What chickens? I don't move goal posts.

    Maxing out Austin or designating him as the number 2 option on a championship-level team would be some really moronic team building, but you'll see that for youself if we go in that direction.

    It will give you something else to b*** about and myself for that matter. :) .

    He's getting more than that if you understood the salary cap, and I don't even want to max the guy...

    That's not even close to what you were saying. There isn't a single person in here who thinks he should get max.

    See the goal posts, over there in the distance, slowly walking?

    Dude. I am saying that if somehow we get him for 30mil, which is what everyone was saying over the summer, it's a huge steal. Don't need to understand the salary cap to comprehend that.

    He is chasing a max contract and stats. I would be, too. I'm glad the winning is coming with it and hopefully it continues in May.

    See how easy that is to comprehend.

    He'd be dumb if he didn't chase max money and stats.

    He jumped off the wrong foot. That's one reason he kills drop coverage that ability to score jumping off the wrong leg gives him the ability to pull up when you don't expect it

    OK. I am done with this. Can't take seriously a person who claims that AR chases stats and money. Literally the worst take I've seen all season.

    Receipts are there. Goalposts have already been moved.

    And to say you’ll only eat crow if Austin puts the team on his back to win a playoff series as if we don’t have Luka as a #1 option? That’s an insane threshold. I’m just going to assume this is a shtick because these are not serious takes.

    It isn't happening. There are teams with salary cap space who are going to throw the max at him. For example, Utah. That means they will gladly force the Lakers hand; is that not hard to understand? Or you don't know what and how much teams with cap space there is, right?
