    Depth chart update assuming Reaves and DLo both come back:


    DLo/Vincent/JHS
    Reaves/Christie
    Lebron/Prince/Reddish/Lewis
    Rui/Vando
    AD/Hayes

    Based on what’s left out there, one more legit center (Plumlee or Thomas Bryant) and a shooting guard that is a 3 point threat (Gordon, Beasely, Lonnie Walker) and we are good to go.

    Plumlee will get way more than the minimum. Bamba probably can get a BAE at worst.

    I like it because adding kids like Reddish and Hayes is like draft night all over again. Very few franchises resurrect 2nd chance young talent like we do.

    We still have the MLE right? Brook Lopez, come on down buddy. With him being a 3pt threat, Bron and AD would have sooooo much room in the paint :)

    We don't. That essentially went to Vincent.

    agree with you, I think we are going to miss an instant energy scorer like lonnie last year and monk the year before. We had stretches during games where scoring and energy were hard to come by. I don’t see anybody like that on the roster currently.

    Crazy that DLo at 6’4” is considered big for a PG, but 6’2” Vincent is a midget?

    Is it worth trying to get Hunter back from Atlanta? :p

    If 6'2" is a midget, I'm destined for a show on TLC soon.

    And he's replacing Dennis who was very generously listed at 6-1 and Gabe has a good 30 pounds on Dennis, as well.

    Seriously. Vincent has perfectly fine size for a PG.

    Bobby Marks increasing his grade of our free agency from an A to an A+ after the Hayes signing…



    Feels weird having some of these media guys praise our FO. We’ve come a long way from “Rob Pelinka doesn’t know the cap”

    Both play small though. You take away tall DLO's shot and dude is lost, same goes for Vincent. Schroeder has more paint points in a month, than these 2 for a season. It is what it is though.

    Had to figure something was cooking in Miami. They were just in the Finals, lost Strus and Vincent and the only addition they made was Richardson. That's not how to get back there.

    Portland told Dame they were going to take the off season seriously, instead added zero vets. So it was clear the rebuild was the actual direction they were going to go.

    Why give Grant that deal if you're tearing it down?

    I also didn’t realize Richardson signed with Miami for the minimum. Felt like that’s way below his value.

    Had made me start to wonder if he knew Dame was on the way so he saw this as a ring chasing move

    Glad that the Dame situation is finally progressing. My hope is that San Antonio gets in the mix and uses their cap space to help facilitate the trade
