First time we’ve seen this front office prioritizing short term interests.
Good news! I can see him making another leap as well!
yessir snack
The reign of tubtub is nigh.
Let Snack Cook!
So he is playoff eligible then? I don’t understand two way contracts 😔
So who is getting cut?
I don’t think the world is ready for playoff Kenny Lofton.
4 years 7 Mill taking into account the year is almost over would be like 2.3M/Year. Good for Kenny
Well Deserved Junior
Huge if we get lakers there might be a game or two where he’s forced to play
I would put him ahead of Aldama, konchar, roddy and even Brandon Clarke when he gets back. I have not been a fan of Clarke even though people seem to love him.
It is clear that Lofton could be at least a 15 point scorer RIGHT THE F NOW. He has done nothing but running fools. The guy is a scoring machine and a great rebounder and he is a surprising passer.
He probably is limited defensively, and probably isn’t much of a screener at this point, but the dude can flat out play.
Post season of development for JJJ, Santi, and Junior. We’ve made it further every year so a WCF would be fantastic. But as long as these 3 guys get reps and give us some good playoff performances and we don’t get embarrassed in the first round I’ll feel fine. Kind of a bummer of a season to this point honestly. And that’s crazy to say considering the team is a 2 seed. But last year’s 2 seed felt so much different than this year’s.
Love this for Snacc but this makes me thing we might not see a lot of Stevo these playoffs :/
JUNIORRRRR
