D-Money Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I wonder if some of the coaching decisions of the last year were at least partially influenced by these contract negotiations? (The anchor's name is A. MacDonald.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I wish we could trade for him just for his name. He's even a good player on top of his name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hortankin Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hopefully we can lock up Horvat on a similar longterm cheapish contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtrooper Steve Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Surprisingly good deal for Philly. If he can continue to put up points and not get benched, should work out for both side. They should have a pretty good defense for the next few years here. I too, am hoping for a similar type deal for Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
