That's what I would do. Split Book's time at 2 and 3. He is 6-7 now. Give Knight more burn at 2.

Yep, it's a very tanky lineup too (-8.3 NRtg in 216 minutes)
I'd definitely play them more together

Gambo just said the Bulls wanted Booker BAAAAD. They were offering Jimmy Butler to get him. Gambo said we consider Booker untouchable. Thank God. Dont ever trade him!!

Very doubtful. They might have discussed a package that includes Booker for Butler, but a straight swap would be nonsense.

Who said Gambo was getting some credibility back?!?

Haha. There are some bad takes there. I made a joke and it was true (sorta). But then I had some bad takes on Leuer.

Is it too early to talk 2016 draft?

Who do we get at #11?

Who are starting in Kentucky's back court this year?

I was wrong about Leur. How he played with us got him a nice contract.

Jon Leur, team option for $1M this year. Doesn't really do anything exceptionally well. I guess he's tall.

While the following was true when I wrote it, he would go on to shoot 39% from 3 for us.

Stretch 4 means shooting 3s in today's NBA. He can't shoot 3s well at all.

Devin Booker pre-2017: 33 games, 33.2 mpg, 18.8 pts, .404 FG%, .323 3PT%, .825 FT%, 2.9 rpg, 3.2 apg, 1.0 spg, 0.2 bpg, 2.5 TO

Devin Booker 2017: 25 games, 36.5 mpg, 24.2 pts, .454 FG%, .434 3PT%, .818 FT%, 2.7 rpg, 3.1 apg, .8 spg, 0.3 bpg, 3.4 TO

His shooting has seriously come on since the season started, especially from 3. He's trending in the wrong direction with turnovers, but his time with the ball has probably increased a lot since he's started playing so good too. Crazy he's only going to be a 3rd year player next year, interested to see if he can make another jump next year.

Kerresed hates booker. Strip him of his Mod privileges.

Booker has to improve his D to be considered a superstar player--otherwise his ceiling will be just one of the many high volume scorers the league has seen.

If Booker can do 45/40/80 for the rest of his career we have a championship pillar in place.
