Come on now. Taylor is a pretty good defensive player.

Nothing backs that up except for what come out of Dunlap and Clifford mouths because Cho told them that's what he is. We had a top 5 defense when he got hurt and he still was way in the negative. Lol.

I disagree, he was a matched RFA, it was that or lose him for nothing. Also, he was clearly worth his deal 2 seasons ago. We might wanna hold up before we write his post mortem.


The way he played in the second half and the playoffs he wrote it himself.

Lance literally does everything JT does well - better.

There's no point in keeping him around. JT and Henderson was our best defensive pairing on the wings BY FAR over the past two years.

and I'll miss him.

Lance and MKG could definitely bother Lebron/Wiggins. Kyrie would probably school Kemba, but Kemba would score very well against him too. Our bigs would rape that Cavaliers front line. If Kyrie can't figure out how to be at peak form without the ball in his hands, they would be significantly weaker than most people think.


Kemba made Kyrie work for his last season. I think Kemba is an underrated defender. Not a great defender just underrated.

We have 13?

Henderson for Dudley frees up 1.5 million.

Get Lance for 11 and that leaves 2.

3.5 million for Boozer.

This move can really help this team and franchise continue to grow and move forward. He's a player with star potential that our franchise needs. He's a secondary ball handler, he can shoot from the wing, a wing playmaker, an elite rebounder for a guard, and he would allow us to switch almost everything on defense in certain spots. He's a head case of course, but a little bit of that being kept in check can be a good thing.

Offer him 2 for $22 or maybe even 4 for $40. Whatever is left bid on Boozer. If you get Boozer and Lance we are set.

Ship out one of the many SGs we have if we get Lance and get a PF if not Boozer or get help in other areas.

I would use the rest on Sessions

I think we sign Stephenson to a three year $33 million dollar contract with the third year a player option.

I think Kemba had the 2nd most defensive win shares on our team. When he was injured or off the floor our defense went to trash much like when MKG got hurt. MKG and Kemba were our best defenders last year. Biz is up there with them but Cliff barely put him on the floor to consider him like that.

you think it's really impossible that he went through a slump he can bounce back from?

Come on Lance and replace Hendo so we can have a real Big 3, maybe even Big 4 if MKG's jumper development come along fast.

So much great news. You won't regret it Cho. This might've saved your job and reputation.

Hes a spot up shooter who was rather porous on defense. That 20+ game slump was dreadful. He didn't contribute much on either end.

he's a post up player against undersized teams and when hes on his game hes one of the top 3 defenders in the league, if i were a team like the t wolves or knicks i would kill for a guy like hibbert
