So, what would we have to give up to get Chandler? I want him in the worst way.
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

I've been pretty disappointed by Oladipo the last two games.

He was actually pretty good tonight ( at least b the second half, didn't see the first), just couldn't get his threes to fall.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

He got smoked on defense the first half. His three point shooting was horrible. Off nights happen, I get that. He isn't near as good of a slasher as I expected. I seldom see him take a guy to the basket and finish. His second half was better than the first. When I look at what he did the last few years at Orlando, I can't figure out how he can't easily get 20 a night with some of the looks he gets.

Feels like that one was good for Morale. The CamPayne has resumed, Russ went off and had a triple double, and they were all just taking the piss in the last 5 minutes. Seemed to all be enjoying themselves, which is important after that slump.
What was also important was to see Russ get back into the double digit assist column. When he consistently trusts his team mates good things happen.
Biggest issue for me from that game was that it was kind of another demonstration of how we have guys that shouldn't shoot 3s, shooting 3s. Grant and Roberson are pretty much disasters on offence, and they're the only small forwards we play.

He's the type of veteran player the team needs. Not a Rudy Gay or Millsap type that will demand big contracts.

Seemed to play pretty well except for the 3 pt shooting. His defense picked up in the second half.

I'd imagine Cam plus something else salary wise at least. I'd like him quite a bit too, and Denver could use a PG.

Now that Cam is back, maybe the bench offense will evolve a little bit more to something other than just dumping it to Kanter & seeing what happens every time down the floor. Kanter suddenly figuring out how to pass it back out has been great, but some P&R with Cam could at least change up the look so it's slightly less predictable since it feels like that's all the bench offense has been for the last month or so.

"I don't know of any player that, when the shot goes up, he doesn't want it to go in," Donovan said
