    Really hate the idea of breaking our exception up for Schroder and other guards.

    Splitting the MLE between Dennis and someone like Eric Gordon would be really disappointing.

    (DLO) / (Schroder) / JHS
    Reaves / (_) / Christie
    Lebron / (_) / Lewis
    Vando / (Rui) / (_)
    AD / (_) / (_)

    Pipe:
    BroLo with the full mle

    Wishlist:
    DLo and Rui back on reasonable numbers
    MLE split between Schroder and a big like Bamba or Plumlee (realistically, we'll end up splitting with Gordon)
    And then vet min Love or TT, Gabriel and Troy Brown (or someone similar)

    I'd be fine with Love as depth piece in the frontcourt, but not as a primary backup 5.

    Eric Gordon even at the min isn't even exciting to me.

    honestly, I think your expectations are too high. Love is still way better than Bamba

    nothing wrong with Eric Gordon at the min.

    he used to be really good for those Harden Rockets teams, but no question his performances have fallen off a cliff.

    Its not that I'm saying he is still a bad value at the min, its just at this point of his career I wouldn't be pumped for it. Its just sort of meh.

    He's a better player than Bamba, but offers less than zero rim protection. I think we need one more guy besides AD that can protect the rim.

    GRAB HIM. He has some game, was interesting the past couple seasons when Portland are not competing.
    Don't think he has much of a 3 ball though, which we need in a wing. Reclamation project

    On Friday morning, The Post reported that ESPN was laying off about 20 broadcasters in a "trying to save tens of millions of dollars."

    Van Gundy worked for ESPN for 16 years and officiated the 2023 NBA Finals with Mike Breen and analyst Mark Jackson.

    ESPN's parent company, Disney, has previously gone through three rounds of layoffs that have left 7,000 people out of work.

    There's no point in evaluating the Golden State until they re-sign Draymond. But even without it they have no space, no exceptions, and the luxury tax is already gigantic.

    At the moment, the GSV has only 9 players on active roster so they gonna sign 7-8 players to minimum and they still consider to be contenders ?
