Rivers is officially worst GM in NBA. Gallinari and Griffin are two injury prone PF. Teo as Paul replacement? lol

Rumors had it at 3-24 initially so this is dramatically less. I love watching him play on YouTube. We will find out if he can cut it in the NBA. Is he projected to be the starter right now? Beverley is not a real PG. He is a 3 and D backcourt guy.

What happened to Milos signing a big deal with Chicago "unless something crazy happens"? Something crazy apparently happened.

He might have been the best PG available. They got him on a very cheap contract IMO.

Me too. Given Patterson's contract, it definitely seems like we overpaid for Gibson.

Taj is a far better player than Patterson. I don't understand the love of a mediocre player
Patterson. I like the guy too but only off the bench in certain circumstances. Pattersonn is a mediocre player who has has two decent years as a fill in. Let's not get carried away.

So you think Gibson is worth about 2.5x more per year than Patterson? I don't think the difference between them is that significant.

Gibson is a much better rebounder than Patterson. Sure if you compare it to Patterson's contract, you wish you could have gotten him cheaper, but seems like rebounding was a priority with Thomas Robinson rumors as well.

Teodosic, Bev, Lou Williams, Gallo, Griffin, DA Jordan, Harrell

Clippers (healthy) are going to be good.

Tough comparison. Patterson plays soft and has the better perimeter game. Taj will do the dirty work inside, set screens, rebound and should make KAT's life easier. Is Taj worth 2.4x more than PP? I don't have the answer personally.

I still don't love it to be honest.

The Clips biggest problem before was they were good enough to be a very good regular season team but lacking the premier players needed to win in the playoffs, and I still think they have that same problem. I don't think that's a championship team, and I don't think they have the assets to become exponentially better over time either.

Teodosic lives for the big moments. He might come up huge.

I admit that I don't know a ton about the guy, so I'll withhold judgment on that.
I'm not that impressed with Blake or De'Andre either though in the playoffs, so that's a whole other hurdle they still need to overcome.

Clippers could be good. Man that's another team in the playoffs race. Jazz and Pelicans still have outside potential to get in. Denver should be in too. Really think we will be battling for the bottom.

Poor Wizards. 25% of the salary cap for a player of Otto Porter's caliber is hard to swallow.

Isn't Teodosic supposed to be a Rubio clone but a much better shooter? Admittedly I don't know much about him but whenever I hear people make a comparison it's almost always Rubio with a shot.

For what this team needed? I'd say absolutely. With that said Im curious what Noel is gonna get. Would have loved to give him an offer sheet but I'm sure Dallas would have matched

Better shooter but doesn't defend at all from what I've heard.

People are lazy. That's not a great comparison, other than being European and usually having dark, shaggy hair. He creates extremely well and can get to the basket, along with being a good shooter. He's a complete matador on defense. He has size, but not a lot of athleticism. Honestly a better comparison for him would be a poor-man's Steve Nash.

All I see is a bunch of role players surrounding Jordan and Griffin ( who will probably be injured again)
