    Imagine those short arms trying to rebound against AD and McGee

    :Laugh:

    Currently close with

    Kcp, Green, Bron, Kuzma, AD?

    If Boogie is back to near Nola/Sac form would we let Kuzma sit? Also depends on how many steps he takes

    Looks like we have no great creator at the guard spot unfortunately. Will have to hope Kuzma takes another step, KCP can be better, and Lebron has to do the carrying...again

    Probably, hopefully we can get Iggy somehow, switch Iggy for KCP.

    No not at all...I was having fun with it by turning it around. Make them play us instead of the other way. :)

    Welcome aboard as well...

    Too slow though tbh. You expect a 36 year old iggy (36 next Jan) to guard quicker small guys like Curry, Lou Will, Dame, Kyrie..

    Iggy is a smart defender. Doesn’t need athleticism to do it.

    In the Portland series, Iguodala often switched onto Lillard or McCollum to slow them down a bit. Stole the ball from Lillard in Game 3 to seal the win. Had the game winning trey in Game 2 in the Finals. Unfortunately, Iguodala also had nagging injuries throughout. Can contribute at both ends in key moments with spot minutes.

    No one is doubting Iggy's abilities.. Just gonna be difficult to land him in our position, unless he does get a buyout.
    That being said, Lakers would be smart to keep a roster spot open..

    Agreed... The dollars conceivably out of our price range but you never know.

    Yeah GS misdiagnosed his injury that turned out to be a lot worse and he was playing hurt.

    Granted, that plays into his age. Hopefully he can force a buyout.

    That was the word on the street... He should take the whole season on cruise control, get himself right and get out in some fashion. Summer 2020 perhaps? I don't know Iguodala's contract situation so maybe could be had by us.

    Would love to swap in Iggy as the backup SF for a bit more wing help and we good to roll.

    The more I look at Dudley as the primary SF backup, the more I hate it lol.

    I don’t even know why we signed him at all. He wasn’t even good in his prime.

    Pretty damn good shooter back then and gave effort on d

    Still a good shooter who gives effort

    He shouldn't be our backup sf/pf though. Should be 3rd stringer. Hope we can get JaMychal or Iggy since we screwed up Marcus Morris. Can't believe we couldn't get him. Would have been great to guard a guy like Kawhi

    They always sleep on us. You would think after winning the most titles in the modern era of basketball, they would know better IMG_20190706_161259.jpg IMG_20190706_161252.jpg
