You keep conflating using the portal and changing the pay structure. They are not the same thing. I hope his mind has changed, but I haven't seen any indication it has. It being mentioned in an article is much more valid than being posted on this message board.

But since he has been willing to talk about the pay structure, I do wish the local media would ask him about it.

Rebel, comeback story, joyful.

Easy to root for anyone like that.

Quote from: Small Orange Soda on February 19, 2026, 07:41:13 PMI haven't seen anything that makes me think his thinking about pay structure has changed in the last six weeks.

He's a nice role player for a solid team.

Damn good. An NBA talent for sure.

Cade Cunningham is really impressive.

He's damn good.

Quote from: panda on February 19, 2026, 08:37:48 PMI've stated many times I have my doubts he will use it to the extent the team next year needs him to use it to be highly competitive.

I think that because of his naivety in roster construction the last couple of seasons. 

Let's just see what happens.  He essentially admitted he has made mistakes. 

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on February 19, 2026, 08:28:59 PMExcept your response was in regard to what's going to happen next and not what happened last year or what's happened this season

Shaka has already indicated he's going to use the portal.

So you think he's lying?

Like I said, it doesn't make sense.

Quote from: panda on February 19, 2026, 08:14:19 PMLet me break it down for you -

Shaka kept a bunch of players who are not up to standard on the roster the past couple of years because of his philosophy (rgv).

When the initial crop of players graduated, we were left with players who were misevaluated and he thought they would be bigger contributors.

Because of that, we're going through an abysmal season.
