The Deuce: Many of you said the same about KJ and Riley last year and they're both doing fine*

for the NBA at all, but he’s crazy to turn that down.

Too many things can go wrong. He gets hurt, he plateaus….all of it is on the table. Doesn’t seem worth it for a payoff of moving up from 10 to 5 the following year (or whatever improvement on a lottery pick he could make).

The only any of this is conceivable is if he goes to the combine in May and gets beaten on for his play or measurables. I don’t see that happening at all.

I do not believe Keaton is going to turn down likely $6 million dollars next year and $20 million guaranteed over the next 3 to come back here without a significant payment even if it is a bit of a cut. Especially after making very little in NIL this season.

And I can't believe we just have those funds lying around that aren't already being used or wouldn't affect what else we have to offer.

That does not seem believable at all. If we were to bring Keaton and Blackwell you're talking maybe $8-$10 million for just 2 players let alone the roster of the guys like Mirk and Drej.

Come on.
