The Official Peyton Watson Safari !!! PIP Delivers a Successful Safari

Hey, this is a Safari thread. Who cares what the Nuggets offered? While on Safari, we honor names like Mike Bibby, Amare Stoudemire, and LeBron James by refusing to read any negative tea leaves. We don't back down until the ink on a contract with another team is dry. Strap on that Swedish penis pump and get swole, boys! Watson can still be ours until he isn't!
Damn the torpedoes, offer the moon, say yes to Mars, and we'll get our small forward!
 
I was on the right drugs but now I'm not on the optimistic path. Just dont want to be let down.


I been in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing, but I must have used the wrong line
I been in the right trip, but I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a bad place and I'm wondering what it's good for
I been the right place, but it must have been the wrong time
My head was in a bad place, but I'm having such a good time

I been in the wrong place, but it must have been the right time
I been in the right place, but it must have been the wrong song
I been in the right vein, but it seems like the wrong arm
I been in the right world, but it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong
 
I'm starting to think we might see more and more guys play on qualifying offers.

Sign and trades are a lot harder than they used to be.

I wouldn't be surprised at this point to see Duren and Watson both play on qualifying offers.
 
Let's be honest, are we trying to find a clone for Tyson?

Holy hell. I had Tyson and Watson in a similar tier, personally. But that is crazy.

Points to Watson being a valuable, but not indisposible player. At age 23 you can expect improvement, but it's hard to quantify. Especially when it both comes with a higher salary consideration as well as costing assets to acquire.

Of course opportunity costs are also in play. This roster has a limited window. How many similar or better options will become available in that window? Who knows.

Yes I was astounded when I saw that too, not expecting that level of overlap.
 
The salary caps and extreme price tag of top talent is putting the middle to upper grade talent in a pinch financially. Will be interesting to see how it shakes.
The league failing to meet revenue projections has as much to do with it as the aprons under the new CBA. Everyone went out and signed guys with the idea that cap would go up 10% year over year and it hasn't. So there's a lot of contracts that teams believed would age well and they haven't.
