-40% 3P shooter -pick&roll ballhandler -penetrate and dish -create his own scoring opportunities (with or without pick)
His game is COMPLETE for a shooting guard. Kobe-lite. He would drastically improve this team.

is that the same veteran core which has us 6 games under 500, and floundering?
What does having a losing record have to do with it being a veteran team capable of having a positive influence over a young player with a questionable attitude? I don't quite see the connection in this case. Because the Celtic are off to a poor start, are they suddenly a bad place for young players to play? Does their veteran core suddenly become less influencial too?

I agree. Tyson is a good leader. You can tell he doesn't take any mess. He takes control of the defense on the floor. STAT gets a lot of flack, but you could hear him yelling at TD and Walker to calm down when they started throwing the ball all over the place. The only real problem is that our guys with the ball in their hands aren't good floor leaders and decision makers.

Exactly they should not have to make major decisions with the ball, they need to score. They need someone who can get them the ball in scoring position so they can do what they do best.

I'm all for bringing JR Smith in.

Or in some instances, play OVER Melo...
Ahhhhh HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
I remember this. It's one of the most bizarre scenes ever in the NBA.
Note how @0:37 JR motions at Melo as if to say "common man, this guy was in the way"
