Buy low
and expect low. he will disappear when you need him
Hmmm, he may not be a culture fit. Can't handle the bright lights either.tiderulz wrote:eyriq wrote:He'd be a huge upgrade over Cole.tiderulz wrote:I dont want to hear anyone talk about bringing in DeAngelo Russell.
Cole has his warts, but he tries and fights hard. Russell was eating food and scrolling on his phone, with his team facing being down 0-3, with 0 points. and just 1 game removed from going 6-20, 1-9 from 3. he is an empty stats guy

Fixed.
By the way, there is G-Harris, Bitadze, and Okeke to also replace in your strategy. Maybe the 3rd-stringer rookie is one of those three and LLE vets for the others.

He's injury prone and too good to be a bench player, might be able to flip him into a starter that fits.thelead wrote:eyriq wrote:I'm firmly in the trade JI camp. Camp of 1?
No… dude played great last night. Why would you trade him?
We wouldn't have made the playoffs without him this season, and our defense isn't nearly as good without him.eyriq wrote:He's injury prone and too good to be a bench player, might be able to flip him into a starter that fits.thelead wrote:eyriq wrote:I'm firmly in the trade JI camp. Camp of 1?

And the previous game he made like 7 3s. It happens. Big upgrade for us.
I don't agree, he wasn't even top 10 in minutes.basketballRob wrote:We wouldn't have made the playoffs without him this season, and our defense isn't nearly as good without him.eyriq wrote:He's injury prone and too good to be a bench player, might be able to flip him into a starter that fits.thelead wrote:No… dude played great last night.

The issue with Murray is Atlanta will want Suggs who would be the perfect fit next to Trae. I wouldn't give up Suggs for Murray. Too much risk on the chemistry side. If they want Black and Carter I'd be all for it.Skybox wrote:Now that we're getting a good look at playoff intensity and we're facing a very significant summer...I think it's important to not settle or accept a marginal improvement. One significant improvement in the backcourt can't be "under-done". Some guys fold mentally, regardless of skillsets, stats, etc.
Paolo is the real f@#*ing thing. Suggs is too. Franz is fine...let's make sure the next guy(s) added are legit DAWGS.
DLo is a proven marshmallow when it counts
Garland, as someone pointed out earlier, is iffy - despite his usual play, especially when considering what he'd cost
Herro has no fear of the bright lights...so much so that unless MIA is hunting a real star, he's likely off the table
Monk, to my knowledge is untested...I really don't remember how he's fared in big moments with LAL or SAC
Simons...the same, as far as I know
To me, the answer is Murray...I don't have a playoff resume to point to...but, it's clear, he's got the mental makeup to roll with Suggs and Paolo - along with the size, defense, and skillset. I'd throw a lot at ATL to grab him as a core member of this team. I think he's a winner and a fierce competitor. LAL is getting swept out of the playoffs and will likely come hard at ATL with whatever assets they can spare...I'd really like to beat them to it.
Murray can shoot, but he's not a true sniper...maybe we fill in with another guy like Caleb Martin...another guy who plays above his pay grade in big moments.
I'd love to add a real shot-blocking big man like Allen or Mobley or Claxton but we may have to prioritize our moves for now. I was definitely on-board with Isaac at C, but he's also just so incredibly disruptive on the perimeter. I still think he's our best Center on the roster today - but Mosley made the right move playing WCJ...because we just don't (on most nights-last night was nuts) have the offensive firepower in our backcourt.
He's a chemistry killer. Would be a terrible fit with our young guys.eyriq wrote:He'd be a huge upgrade over Cole.tiderulz wrote:I dont want to hear anyone talk about bringing in DeAngelo Russell.
