    He'd be smart to be patient because he came into free agency saying he would be willing to take a discount of 22 milion
    The Nets are still trying to strong arm the Wizards in a Dinwiddie deal, so that angle isn't over.

    wonder how vogel feels about us giving away/letting go of all of our perimeter defenders and bringing back nothing but bad ones.

    We went from best defensive team to middle of the pack real quick. Does Malik play any defense?

    That maybe good offense beats good defense? Maybe it's just me, but it looked like our great perimeter defense got worked by every good perimeter player we faced last season.

    Yup, I think we’ve done a good enough job at addressing shooting for now. Our next biggest needs are perimeter defense, and I think I’d like to see us add someone who is more of a prototypical PF to give us some depth. I’d be okay with finishing the roster up with THT, Bradley, and Keef.

    EVERYBODY says the Lakers need more shooting....spacing and all that. Well you give up something to get something I guess.

    Yeah, I also remember reading on the Reddit post about Monk becoming an unrestricted free agent a few days ago, a few Hornets fans specifically commenting about how they liked his defense.

    hard to be the league's best defense if your eyes are accurate (they're not).


    it's a mistake. 3 AND D players are worth a lot. 3 OR D players are not. ask the dallas mavericks.

    Danny Green would care more about his podcast if he came back for the minimum. DO NOT give him the TP MLE.

    Idk if Monk or Ellington get a lot of time on the court.

    Troy Daniels and Quin Cook didn't.

    They may just be end of the bench guys.

    interesting that we signed monk and ellington--who can really only play sg. we let AC go, and we haven't heard anything on THT.

    edit: and i like monk as a reclamation project, though if he does well, we won't be able to afford him. beats the hell out of mclemore, though.
