JVR/Neal on a 3 year deal is fine, but whoever signs them is likely going to need to offer 5 + years... which will be a huge mistake in 3 years IMO

I think we do have to throw caution to the wind a bit here. Teams deal with cap issues all the time, they find a way. The big thing this team needs to start doing is establishing a winning culture, and then you get to focus on maintaining that culture.
If building this team up to something worth maintaining requires a big spend on JVR or Neal, so be it. Let's get to work.
The absolutely most critical point on any deals signed this summer though is NO NMCs.
Absolutely NO NMCs.
