Bones Hyland - NBA Thread

There is no loss for the Wolves. Atlanta will have to pay the difference of the $1.5 mil he is owed and the value of the two deal. Wolves get to see if he is a fit on the Hawks dime 🤷‍♂️

Wrong.... the value of the 2-way deal the Wolves have to pay.

The only the Hawks are paying is whatever was left on the deal that he was on when Atlanta traded for him.

So He will be getting paid by both the Hawks & T-Wolves organization simultaneously the rest of this season.

True, but I think Tim has always been high on Bones so he'll get a fair shot to stick with the franchise. Troy only played in 19 games, Tre had a decent run playing in 33 games. Almost got his jersey right before he and Teague were traded to ATL.

No need to get upset...that is what I meant when I said the Hawks would have to pay the difference of the $1.5mil. His $1.5mil minus the two = the difference. yes I inadvertently typed and and not later in the sentence. ;)
 
I looked at the details of Rob Dillingham's contract and holy crap. Yeah, this has to be the Wolves grabbing Bones as insurance in the event they decide not to pick up the option on Dillingham's contract in the 26-27 season. They're paying him 8th-pick-in-the-draft money, but his stats definitely do not warrant the money they're throwing at him. Maybe they want a known quantity to fall back on.
 
Seems to me arrogance has been his main problem. Attitude also counts in the NBA.

Observation of what?

It seems like that is what prevents him from getting the most he should from coaching.

I just wonder how this would seem so, to you.
Just seems like making an online assessment of arrogance should be accompanied by something resembling concrete proof, yes? I've met and spoken with him, but I dont know him personally and haven't spent any time in the locker room with him, or time at any practices, but heck, maybe you have. If not, seems to me saying he has an arrogance problem blaming his NBA woes on such, would be a rather bold take. But maybe you have proof to back it up?

You are probably correct. That is just my observation, coupled with the facts of his serial releases since he went to NBA.

I have disregarded all the rumblings and hearsay because I will never know (and have no need to know) the whole story. What I do know is that Bones left the bench during a live game, apparently without being cleared to do so. The optics of that were...suboptimal.

You perhaps in part right to what has derailed him, but maybe "arrogance" is not the exact word. Anyone who has watched, read, and listed the last two years with somewhat neutral ears knows it wasn't only play that derailed him. He certainly is an NBA talent and has proven that, we all want to see him do it again consistently with the right frame of mind.
