    We just signed two guards who shoot over 40% for 3. That’s how it’s done. We have a well balanced squad now with scorers, passers, finishers, shooters. Man Bradley/Iggy would be perfect now.

    You're both right I forgot 'em. :D Minimum adds so it flew right past me.

    I definitely want Bradley most right now of who is available and we're starting to run low on cash. We're doing a damn good job so far though even with the KCP overpay.

    We signed Jared Dudley and Troy Daniels. I think we’re close to being done, if we’re going to wait Iggy and Korver to come off waivers.

    I really want a secondary creator and I think Bradley should be that guy. Unfortunately, it might be Rondo.

    Yeah. Bummer. Only for the minimum though.

    Rondo and AD did have decent chemistry. It's worth it.

    Agreed, but not in the starting lineup. We need someone who can defend and shoot in that starting lineup.

    I don’t think the guy knows how excited LA is to have him.... take away minutes from KCP.

    Welcome Quinn Cook! Great signing.

    Real...

    My “SMH” was to the fact that we signed Daniels and Dudley, not to you overlooking them in your blanks. Lol

    I would prefer Lance (did well under Frank) to both of them.

    Oh no worries, I was laughing at myself. :D

    Honestly though, they're minimum adds so I'm not upset at it. Dudley is a good locker room guy and both are good shooters. Seeing as how Seth Curry, a guy who is really just a shooter, got 32m I think both those adds are solid (as is Cook obviously at just 6m).

    We must sign Morris. Need to have his D and versatility, esp when Load Management happens for AD and Bron missing 12-16 games each.

    Real, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by Cook. My son and I watched probably 75% of GS's regular season games and all the playoff games. I thought Cook wasn't used that well by Kerr. Plus, this kid is not afraid of the moment at all. He's a baller. He was my favorite of the GS players coming off of the bench. Nice jumper and with additional burn I think he's going to surprise some folks.

    I hope so! I like him a lot, I just think he's got some obvious limitations that keep him from getting consistent minutes. As a fireball off the bench, he's a great addition.

    Another good shooter that was still on the board. I’m still catching up on the news but I’d go hard after Bradley and Caruso, no to Rondo. Heck, I kind of see Rondo going across the hall.

    Good signing. Hopefully he’ll still remember how to shoot once the season starts. Welcome!

    Good to know.

    I also like Cook based on the eye test and traditional stats, really surprised to see how horribly he ranks analytically.
