Love it. With spot minutes for Thomas and the rook.

That's a nice looking roster.

Well Stanley is a bench warmer and Pat should be a bench warmer so doesn’t really matter. A guy like Craig would actually be getting minutes in the rotation

...and if you need to rely on Stan Johnson and Pat McCaw off the bench...there are some serious depth issues. Outside of Matt Thomas and Norm Powell...you have zero scoring off the bench.

Torrey Craig would be a great signing! 3+D and play 3/4

Versatile and cheap piece that would be a very Masai signing.

I expect a euro signing or two once the dust settles

Someone who's a career 32% 3pt shooter can't be a 3&D player. He has no 3pt shot. He's a good defender though. But I'd rather get a more consistent 3pt shooter at the wing.

At what we'd be paying him you're asking for too much. He's there for his defense. 32% is fine. I'd rather have him over a Batum.

no real true center on our team (i think) but still a good offseason if all of this happens!

Yup. We need more shot makers...and on a team that lives and dies by the 3...someone needs to make a shot when no one else is hitting.

Would definitely very much like the addition of Craig. He did a lot of little things for the Nuggets and I think he'd fit perfectly here as OG's backup + getting some spot minutes at the 4. He's also not that bad of a shooter (.325 3FG% on 2.5 attempts the last two seasons). I would much prefer Craig getting 3/4 minutes than players like RHJ and McCaw last season.

Good? Dude, if this happens, consider it absolutely excellent.

We'd have retained two highly coveted players many considered gone and added two excellent complimentary pieces. We'd be looking at another top 4 team in the conference with a chance to make a bit of noise. All this while we await Gianni's imminent 2021 arrival.
