True. But isn't having him and Shumpert the same thing? (Injury prone defenders)

Roberson is 6-7 an basically could guard a much bigger range of players including post ones before he was injured. I don't know what he can do now but on this team it's almost irrelevant what he does on offense. They have plenty of that and if he could play defense like he did before he got hurt he'd probably be starting. This is probably the only team he'd start on though so it's a perfect fit if he's close to what he was IMO.

Another ex-OKC teammate? I think their next move will be to lure Nick Collison and Kendrick Perkins out of retirement.

But the ultimate move will be to trade Kyrie for Russell Westbrook.

Danny Green
2021: 59-162 3pt (36.4%)
2019: 198-435 3pt (45.5%)
Career: 1342-3367 3pt (39.9%)

Andre Roberson
2018: 8-36 3pt (22.2%), 12-38 FT (31.6%)
Career: 111-435 3pt (25.5%), 123-263 FT (46.8%)

Roberson is the Chris Dudley of SG/SFs.

He's basically the answer to "What if Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was friends w/ Kevin Durant?"
