Luka is better at the 3, defensively. Austin is at the 2. Ellis would be the 1. But, I agree we are probably not getting Ellis. Whoever we do get...
Yeah, we probably won't get Ellis. The Kings just traded a bunch of draft picks for LaVine, so I don't think they will find Knecht + our 2031 1st...
Ellis has been a high volume 3-pt shooter per 36 minutes for all three seasons of his young career. Last season he hit 1.7/4 threes per game,...
Yeah, we need someone of that caliber. The player we package the pick for should have the following: (1) High-volume 3-pt shooting: 2+ threes...
Yeah, you just have to make this deal. I look at it like this. If we traded Kleber + Vincent + Knecht + 1st for Wiggins, we would have to pay...
But we probably could agree to the Kleber + Vincent + 2031 first round pick (top-5 protected) for Grimes + 2027, 2028, 2030 2nd deal, and follow...
Yeah, I feel like it would be a low-key solid move. Would remind me a bit of 2020, when we quietly added multiple 3 and D players/perimeter...
Why not a Quentin Grimes sign and trade? Grimes is a 25-year old 3 and D switchable guard. Offensively, he is a career 15 ppg, 2.9/7.6 threes per...
Great point... They probably did. Highly doubtful the Lakers trade Reaves for a 18 mpg Kessler. Also, Redick likes to go small at times. Lakers...
Yeah, it does look better. Shooting and shooting form is defntly something that could be fixed. Players such as Bruce Bowen, Derek Fisher, Jason...
Yeah, I saw the Vando footage, but you know how that goes. Hopefully it translates to the games. I think it will. We just need him to...
Three-team trade: LAL gets: Nesmith UTA gets: Knecht, 2027 LAL 1st (1-4), 2028 LAL swap, 2030 LAL swap, 2030 IND 1st (top-13 protected), 2031...
Yeah, would have been a good "buy-low" opportunity. I would have been a little concerned about the spacing issues, with the way our team is...
For sure. Smart hopefully could return to his first-team all-defense form. Many are saying he is more of a wing defender at this point of his...
Yeah, that two-big model is an extremely difficult needle to thread. Just having one that could shoot is difficult alone, let alone having two of...
The roster does look very good. I think that with Luka and Reaves at the wing postition, we would be better served strengthening our POA defnese...
I like what we have a lot, but I think if we were to nitpick at something, it should be that POA defender role. Hopefully Smart returns to form...
I did acknowledge that our shooting is bad, and that Rob is banking on improvement. In terms of defense/shooting combo, yeah Smart is currently...
It seems Ellis and Thybulle might be the top realistic options for us.
Yeah, Rob apparently know this. He stacked the team with defenders. It's just they all have question marks with their shooting, so he is probably...
