He is so good in limited minutes, he’d be a 28mpg weapon if he could ever stay healthy.

at this point id just make him 6th man in limited minutes.
go get a star lead guard so all of bridges minutes can be like today. catch/shoot and 2nd/3rd touch drives. almost no initiation.

Yeah, it's not like he could now magically play in the closing minutes of a close game. He's just not an offensive option and the other team could still employ Hack-a-Ben.
Still, if he could play like tonight for every other portion of a game, that's a huge lift.

Hate to say it, but a 3 guard rotation of Simmons, Thomas and Murray would compliment each other very well. Any 2 you run out there should compliment each other well.

Nice to see Ben out there doing his weird Ben-stuff but I just can't like the guy after 1 good game. Ben can still get lost as well. 1 good game doesn't undo the chaos hes brought here.
BUT it was a good game. Team looked looser. Nice to see.

Which one's are you thinking? Unless Trae is available, I don't really see any star guard out there with how the Cavs are playing. Herro/Ivey could possibly be lead guards if available.
Murray imo isn't a star and I don't think he has the temperament or skillset to be a lead guard in nyc.
I'll just say Dlo gives you that playmaking and you can keep the picks. He's not a good fit on a contender/high level playoff team because he can't defend as an ancillary offensive player, but for what this team is and needs, he'd be a solid fit imo... even better if you can get some asset in addition

dont forget walker in there. if din/thomas were traded for murray, wouldnt hate to see walker get a shot at starting.
