If Julius or Obi miss significant time, who’s filling in?

Hart? Reddish? Sims?

Just use RJ at the 4 and go small ball

Naw, I don't think it would've taken RJ. San Antonio was fine with Danilo. They might've taken Fournier. But it would've required 4 to 5 picks.

Gallo was an expiring contract. Fournier has 3 years left on his current deal.

EF has two years and a club option. And yes it matters.
Its not hard to google a players name with spotrac and get contract info.

thanks for backing up my point

You the man!

I think I heard someone say Grimes was a PG in HS but I had no idea he was passing like this.

Mwas watching Wiz preseason game. KP looked spry on both ends of the court.Then he turned his ankle, and left the game. The annoucer was right. KP has to change the way he gets to the rim. Granted, its not easy for a 7fter.

Good point. I thought he looked very good after first game in Japan and his “unicorn” movement. WE saw it in NY those ankles roll. Damn,, game vs. Milwaukee I thought he broke it going for a loose ball out of bounds. The rim crashing for follow ups were dangerous moves. Maybe its the frequency a dude over 7 foot does it and then landing in traffic will cause greater stress to the ligaments?
His ball instincts were so good. His handle was uneven because of his height and players swatting at it. Hard for big dudes to get low handle.
The Alien when he gets to the NBA will face much stringer guys and the key will be if he can transform into a body type like Giannis. Of course, his physiology will play a big role in health. Genetics, luck, and hard work all create what will be. KP came close on most of that.

Let's hope Beal and KP can string together enough games to make the play-in. Unlikely given their injury histories. A tall order even if they are healthy. But another first rounder will be useful this year, even if it's just to flip it for future draft assets.

The one thing I don't get with Washington is who are their PGs? Quick glance at their roster and I can't pick one out.

they bought in Monte Morris from Denver who did a good job last season. I suppose they see him on the way up and hold it down for now?

Probably doesn't matter so much. Beal is going to take the majority of possessions at the end of the day anyway. They just need Morris to play above replacement level.

The type of deep bench combo forward type I think the team could use . You know what they say... Once a Knick...

Yes if the money fits he could be a contributed as a back up to Obi or Randal if either one gets injured. Or even back up Barrett.

The Mavs got their Brunson replacement in Campazzo

Had Brunson and are hoping to sign J.J. Barea lite but really are just getting Campazzo

I'm good with RJ's contract. He is getting paid the least and in my opinion is the best one. Herro plays off the bench so his numbers is inflated and he is nearly unplayable in the playoffs when teams hunt him out. Poole is good but would he be nearly as good without all the talent that GSW has? How good would he be as the best person on the team? I am not sure he does better than RJ in that role.

They may have their multi-year contracts, but I’ve got this going for me, which is nice…

It’s wierd because the media keeps telling us Herro is 30x better than RJ so shouldn’t be getting 30x the money?

Things are looking more and more like Green will be the odd man out. He wants to be a Laker but I doubt the Lakers have money for him after they get Kyrie next offseason.

He might not even opt out next year.
