Here we go with this crap again
Not sure I thought I would ever say this but you can easily look at the Hawks as a model to build a team. Who were their big free agent signings? Louis Williams? I dont want anymore pie in the sky scenarios.
I think you're confused to as what Riley was saying bruh
Here's the full quote:
"I'm not so sure that what we did in 2010 is anywhere close to what we can do in 2016," he said. "The rules have changed. For a player to turn down a five-year guaranteed deal at home with major max money, he must really have to hate where he's at or love where he's going. So it's not the same deal. It's going to be approached differently."
Essentially hes saying 2010 was an anomaly that we will never see again. He's not going to be able to go that route again, and that they need to build the team differently this time around.
Just my 2 cents, I thought Riley had a good, realistic grasp on his situation.
