    Probably Lance.

    Maybe Crabbe? LeCrae?

    The list is thin.

    They should call up Milos Teodosic up and see if he has any interest in coming back to the NBA.
    That is a guy who fit's right into the Rondo role and does everything better then him

    i wanted him a couple years ago when the clips got him, but things really didn't work out for him. rondo may actually be better, sadly.

    He was good: his foot injury really set him up back but looks like in 2019 he's fully bounced back and had another excellent season in Europe. HIs game translates well into the NBA and his numbers on the Clips were noticeably better than Rondo's this year.

    As a guy who watched JR Smith and Dion Waiters at their "best", I would go with Teodosic in a heartbeat. (this is all relative praise of course: Rondo IMO is washed, JR hasn't played in over a year nad he was more washed up then Rondo when he did play last, Dion is just a headcase and based on his Miami experience he just doesn't seem to be in the Dwight phase yet)

    I'll say this - I would NOT say no to Nikola - just bench Kuzma at that point and if we have injuries, we can slot Kuzma in somewhere.

    Mirotic played REALLY WELL with AD just FYI...

    I would also look at getting Mirotic this summer after we trade Kuzma/Green for a playmaking guard...

    Summer makes sense for him. Lakers are not a franchise that will screw over Morris by signing another shooting 4 after he specifically asked to come over here this year

    They are if he starts asking for money we can't afford to give him. I don't think we re-sign Morris. He's a great option at the buyout market but in the free agency, I'm sure we'll clean up the roster and design it in a way to fix the issues we currently have.

    Who is the all around better big man between them. Basically same age. Who has more dog which we desperately need. Better defender, post, playmaking, all the usual evaluation points. Maybe we keep Morris. What's not to like so far?

    Hopefully the short leash will be half as effective as it has been for Dwight.

    Don’t like it. But I hope I’m as wrong as I was about not wanting Dwight initially too.
