Hypothetical - D’Antoni to Indiana
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2020 9:03 pm
If Mike D’Antoni goes to the Pacers, what would you do to make them more of a D’Antoni offense?

I'd expect a hard push for Harden or Dame and then him settling on trying to get Dragic for one year to try again the following off-season. Or maybe he tries to move Dipo to a 3rd team and brings in Chris Paul.

Brogdon, Lamb, McConnell, pick for CP?

I wouldn't give Brogdon. I would want to use Dipo--thus the need for a third team as I don't believe OKC would see much value in bringing him back.

I think the Raptors would be making a big mistake if they sign FVV to a big contract. Love his heart and his game but his limitations are glaring. I view Oladipo as an avenue to making the Raptors the favorites for Giannis if he decides to leave Milwaukee. Turner makes a lot of sense too but feel like Turner and Oladipo are worth more than SiakamGodaddycurse wrote:Village Idiot wrote:Oladipo and Warren for Siakam

I was actually thinking turner, warren & pick for siakam. Toronto doesn't have enough minutes at the guards for dipo if fvv is coming back, and he's a pending FA which cuts into his value.

Barnes and 12 for Sabonis
Kings run with Holmes/Sabonis and 3 guards (Bogdanovic, Hield and Fox)

I don't see Pritchard wanting a 30 year old big name. If Mike proposes that plan, I'd hope we don't hire him. Well I hope that anyway but I hope if we do hire him he commits to the roster ... unless Dipo demands a trade no matter who coaches.Texas Chuck wrote:MDA ran great offenses with Amare and Matrix.

Turner and Sabonis think they can play together and I think we should let them try. Plus we have a small ball option with Sabonis at center and McConnell and AHoliday at the guards. Sumner could be the 3. Doug, JHolla, Jakarr, and Alize all options. A new coach could resurrect Leaf at 5.

I don't see Brogdon, Oladipo, Warren, Sabonis, and Turner as fringe players. The other players I named were in the context of a mobile 2nd unit.MoneyTalks41890 wrote:
I feel like you have a lot of confidence in fringe nba players to become contributors. I was at X with Sumner, how can he play the 3? He’s a PG, SG as a stretch
