We've got a log jam at SG and we need another center.

No. We need a table setting PG. There's no need for another C, since Simmons will see a lot of time there.


The market has some interesting names out there. Facundo Campazzo is a pretty decent back up, he played the last two years with Denver.

feels a lot like the Bembry signing last year (and Morris if it happens will be a lot like JJ).

both played their roles and had some moments but even still ended up cuts. i'd guess both of these end up similarly. which is fine given the cost.

I'm torn on the issue, because I feel like Harden demonstrated how much better the offense is with a very good PG, but Dragic demonstrated that unless the PG commands enough respect from KI&KD (and now Simmons), they'll be underutilised, diminishing their value and making the offense more predictable.

Dragic was more than happy to get away from this team, last I heard.

KI&KD may have 'settled' by rejoining the Nets, but that doesn't mean they won't continue to stubbornly overhandle the ball.

I don't trust Sharpe to handle a lot of minutes and Clax is always injured every season. As for Ben, I don't know what to expect and KD shouldn't really see any minutes at C unless its a do or die game.

A backup 5 is really needed.
