I don’t see it happening. I’m just speculating. Find it interesting that Shams said Boston had interest in Fournier. Given his upcoming free agency, there’s no way that Ainge would use the TPE space on someone that could just leave this summer, and the salary matching to bring him in otherwise wouldn’t make much sense.
Clifford coached Kemba in Charlotte. Kemba’s contract also comes off the books the same time as Vucevic.
Just trying to connect some dots.

"Hey we paid Steven Adams $X, and last year we paid another ****** guy a lot of money - Might as well throw more money at guys we don't want to build around!" Said literally nobody ever.
The plan the next couple of years is they're not close to contending. They're irrelevant. It's not a 2-year plan - or at least it shouldn't be. They need to decide if they want $90m's tied up in Zo, BI and Zion in 3 years. The answer to that question is - and probably should be - no.
Nobody in the NBA that wants to contend is letting Lonzo Ball be their primary ball handler/lead guard. It's not happening - it's not what he's good at.

Biggest difference is Tobias not being a turnstile

Im just joshing bro. But listen - no is saying Lonzo ISNT deserving of the $22-25MM he’ll get this summer. And even his biggest detractors in here Have come around and said he’s capable of being a high level role player on a contender. NOP isn’t a contender yet, though.
We all also agree that they traded for some turrible contracts and given out some dumb extensions but that doesn’t mean they should hand out another one that’s not dumb in the sense of value but rather dumb in the sense that it doesn’t align with their timeline. Those first few years would be a waste.
Just because you made head scratching deals in the past or currently have them on the books doesn’t justify giving out a good deal that doesn’t fit with your future.
Edit: Didn’t see what @N41D’s said before my post but yeah, same thing. I second his post

Lonzo off ball with another playmaking wing is ideal. I like his fit with the Nuggets and even Dallas over Jason Richardson
He actually fits well next to Simmons Ironically

He's turned himself into damn near the prototype off-guard for teams with ball dominant shot creators.
He's just not a lead guard and he's not a guy I look at if I'm New Orleans and race to lock myself into as a cornerstone for my franchise...
And that's fine. He's done a damned good job reinventing himself and carving out a decade+ career where he's going to make a ton of money.

We gotta stop pretending like Lonzo is some great playmaker in the half court. He does give effort on defense but we gotta stop making him out to be great on that end too.
much improved shooter. Solid playmaker, especially in transition. Rebounds well for his position and plays defense.

Not making the playoffs? This roster ain’t making the playoffs next year for sure especially in the west and no not attracting no free agents . Bi ain’t tryna be in no for 4 years not making the playoffs to . Sure don’t pay anyone and waste Zion’s first 4 years go ahead .

With Zions size and build, who knows if he’s gonna hold up in 5 years. That’s the point. If you know you have a superstar with a potentially limited shelf life, go all in

Not sure who that is or what the stories are behind the girl with PJ, but it seems like y’all aren’t fans of his decision to be tied to her for the long haul. 
Damn on the lamelo injury.
That post from dlo may not have meant anything, but sending it after the injury is lame as ****. Could’ve posted after the man dropped 40. Don’t wait til the front runner is done.
Similar to last year, I think most people thought Zion was the better player, but didn’t get it cause of the amount of games played. Ant E. gets Roy.
Bron will come back earlier than expected. If voters all really care about the narrative, what’s better than old man Bron returning from injury early to save the Lakers who will be plummeting in the standings?

Nobody is saying let Zo walk - but if you can get assets via trade, you've gotta look at it.
Josh Hart is fine. There's lots of guys like Josh Hart available all the time.

The wins have come against the Wizards, Spurs, Kings, and Knicks x2.
I'd hope a top team in the conference could beat those teams with two max players.

Her name is Brittany Renner. You gotta google her twerk videos. She made plentt of videos about sleeping with the nba and rappers and even wrote a book about it. PJ decided to lock that up and married her and got a baby in there. We'll see how it goes. I have nothing negative to say
