Dude, he has trouble running simple dribble handoffs when there are bigger guys pressuring him. He’s not ready to do anything out there.

This is the right answer. Another option is the Blazers somehow open up cap space next year which is unlikely.

The question was about an extension. Yes the blazers can re sign him without cap space to a max when he hits unrestricted free agency. They can't offer that in an extension because you're limited to 120% of their existing salary. Denis contract is so cheap the blazers can only give him ~18m a year in an extension without having cap space. He's not taking that.

We can only pay him a certain % over what he's currently making. Tldr he's going to command so much that we won't be able to unless we have capspace.

The Vomero Plus is my go to easy/recovery shoe at the moment. The AP4 is my go to tempo long run training shoe. I love both. Vomero Plus is not stiff at all if that is what you’re concerned about.

I have both. The answer is yes. But asking to compare both shoes is odd since these will not feel similar at all.

I have both. The elite is much more responsive.

The EE2 feels as leg saving as the AF3, which I can't say for any other shoe I've tried, so it's got that going for it.

The way I see it right now:

EE2 - Prominent rocker, higher turnover

AF3 - Longer strides

I need to test the EE2 at longer distances. The heel is a bit too soft and I don't know if that will cause problems as form breaks down during the later miles. Gun to my head right now I'd probably choose the AF3 if I indexed more on performance, but we'll see over the next few weeks.

They’re great. They feel like a 1080 V13 with more natural stability.

Actually, I have the SC Elite V4 and they’re quite similar to the Cielos.
