@DSV I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Joe just hoping and praying that Daye would eventually get out of his slump. I mean it is pretty much admitting he fcked up in selecting the kid if he didn’t extend him. Every GM makes mistakes but Joe of late somehow always seems to compound his.

That’s exactly right MNM. Joe drafted Daye in the 1st round pick 15 but redeemed himself by drafting Jerebko in the 2nd round pick 9. If he didn’t do that then the Daye pick would of looked so much worse. It is clear as day that Joe needs help when drafting early on in the 1st round when the choice isn’t an obvious one. As far as it goes for what to do with Daye i have no idea. He is a broken player with no confidence. I say if we don’t cut him loose to sign either Flynn or Williams then just let him see out his contract along with CV. As far as i am concerned those 2 guys can wash the other players jock straps all year long.

Wtf…. this guys gonna be a stud. Next Aflalo if we give him a chance. He just doesnt get mins cuz of Tay and now Maggete, but he is tall enough to make up for his slow feet and has a shot. A rich mans Rashard Lewis. Joe D’s gotta go…..

Yes, Dumars picked up the team option for Daye’s 4th season much sooner than necessary.

I’m going to need some help here, I’m too busy to do the research (and procrastinating), but can someone clear this up: I remember reading here sometime last, oh, say, March? about Daye already getting a premature contract extension by one year. I think it may have been in that series of threads about Dumars and when Frankie D was commenting a lot and I think even Vince Ellis was making some posts on here as well. But the controversial aspect of it was that Dumars had given Daye the extra year quite prematurely when we could’ve had him play out the year to see if he desereved it, but at the time we didn’t really know if he was worth it, and that came out in the public far later than when the extension was granted. I’m going to go ahead and guess that that year extension was for this year, but anyways, can someone refresh me about this?

You’re right. Daye wouldn’t be tradeable by himself. If we can get a good player in trade for Daye and another expiring deal it might be worth looking at.
