I smiled at the Step Brothers reference, whether you meant it or not. I'll give you credit and say you did
I'm assuming at least one of the second rounders will be heavily protected, but still, this is absolutely a great move by Mitch.
Pft. I bet Gasol is kicking himself for signing with those bums in San Antonio when he could have created the Spla(ni)sh brothers? Sorry. Best I could do.
I'm real happy we swooped in and got Calderon...but my oh my. Look at how excited we are getting for a 5 years past his prime Calderon.
Considering the alternatives were Huertas alone, the last available free agent PGs nobody wanted, or some D-League insurance player, I'd say the reactions are justified. Nobody is expecting Calderon to be great, only to be able to give Russ a little rest, be the true PG he is with our 2nd unit, and yet another veteran presence we lacked. We now have vets at guard, SF, and C to mentor the younger guys. It's a solid move.
Oh. Don't get me wrong. It's a solid move. I'm just sort of chuckling to myself when this type of move that gets us this excited.
Nice move, Mitchell. Picked him up for essentially nothing. With two 2nd-round picks along with him. Plus, he's an expiring. And he shoots over 40% from 3. Peace, Marcelo.
Seriously? We got a solid backup point guard. We ADDED three solid veterans. OMG EXCUSE US FOR BEING EXCITED AND OPTIMISTIC WE ARE SUCH TERRIBLE FANS.
