I've read in a few places that in the final year of the CBA, teams can use both tags. So we'll likely see Dak and Amari tagged.

Not an empty comment. Could have signed and traded DLaw in the offseason. Jerrah did not consider it and we were held hostage. That's just one example for your empty head.

Unless a new savy minded HC talks Jerry and Co into making trades on prominent players I highly doubt this will ever happen. Tags yes...but not the trades.

Do all this trading? I’m taking in general....like one. They don’t even do that!! As for your claim they needed all those guys and late picks? How’s that worked out for us all? 10yrs down the toilet is what it is...not interested in this same loser strategy. Want a Jimmy to get aggressive and kick this team in high gear.
OmerV Well-Known Member
I understand not trading on tags...I’m taking about in general to players on a last year,not specifically tagged players to that. There’s been times it was prudent to do so,and they didn’t. But if there is a case to point to on a tagged player Hatcher is a great example.
