Landry did not play defense last year. No one did on that team. The worst defensive team in nba history

If he is brought back and I sure hope hes not it will be as backup SG only because Shump will miss the first 4months. Like you said sign a starting SG like Marco Belinelli. Then when Shump returns Fields is out of the rotation and sitting next to Toney Douglas where he belongs backing up Melo & Novak.

I wouldn't mind Belinelli at all until Shump's is ready. Really, anybody that can stretch the floor and hit the 3 when the ball is swung to them.
I would keep Fields. He is a smart player that ignites the fast break and is, for the most part, in the right spot at the right time. He will also drive to the hoop. His shot is awful, but that just takes practice. I wouldn't give up on Fields just yet.
Not every player on your team needs to be an allstar. Fields goes through maddening boughts of self doubt, but he also has stretches where he's a valuable contributor- he's a good option to have for the regular season, if you're not relying on him too much.
Lets give him one more chance- he played better with Lin, and the two are good friends so hopefully their chemistry on the court raises his game. Also he has this summer to rework his 3pt shooting. Like people have said, he'll be cheap and what better option do we have? Especially with Shump out for a few months.

If I hear about this kids confidence one more time lol. This isn't college or high school. You are a grown man being paid millions to play basketball. Get your ass in the gym...thats where confidence comes from, REPETITION IN THE GYM
Thank you. Him and TD. Cut the F**kin' comedy acts and dedicate yourself to filling out your game. And TD calls himself a gym rat. I don't see it.
No he is... he has the same brain size as a rat

He is not 2, he is 3... and in NBA full of very good wing players he is no more that bench guy.
If he will inprove he can come to replace Melo for 10 min a game... Somebody should be there fop this. Why not Fields?
Obviously he is not worth more that 2 mils on this team and can get more elsewhere.
The Melo-ball system sucks for players like Fields, so in his place I will run somewhere else as fast as I can.
Fields deserves the minimum or what he gets now!!!! NO MORE NO LESS!!!
You dont have many option at the 2(3) for bench, you have to bring him back and improve his game! Fields has shown some IQ, can play team ball, looked good with lin out there, young talent homegrown why not bring him back.
Hes earned more playing time by default then TD but you have to build talent. There was times players like RJ(Richard Jefferson) improved that just looked awful in a certain aspect. Hes a BUM! NO! He played like a bum!
Fields is athletic, can drive, good iq. YOU KEEP HIM! You work on his J, work on his dribble and roll the dice.
