My only problem with this is that I need to hear Eric Collins scream "Oh Terry!!!" at least one more time while he's still a Hornet. That is non-negotiable.

Is Riller really that much worse than Graham?

At running an offence? I’d say yes, Graham had a good assist/turnover ratio, not saying we can’t find a replacement for Graham at backup but I wouldn’t trust riller there yet.

I don't think the Clips can match Reggie Jackson

We can also give Schroeder a 13 mil prove it deal, since he's iced out

Alternatively we need veteran bench players. Otto Porter, Danny Green, Markkanen, Bruce Brown all available

Jackson would be awesome.

Yeah he's been working out at Duke waiting on a phone call.

I'd love to get Danny Green for the MLE if that were in the cards.

Graham has four years of experience, Riller played a total of 27 minutes last season. He will be ready to play point guard in 2023-24 if he has regular minutes. But for now, he is living on peanuts (unless he gets lucky at the tables in Vegas).

Wow, that's just outside of what we could with how things stand right now.

Where to now Mitch?

That's a good deal for the Kings. I'm happy for their fans, they've had a rough offseason so far.

Well...that is unexpected.

At this point I'm just doing 1 year deals and saving our space for next year. There probably isn't anyone we can reasonably get that is better than what we have.

I would have definitely used the whole 13m on Holmes, I guess his age scared the team off

Hopefully he liked your Rozier trade idea

I'm guessing we made an offer and he used it to get a better deal from the Kings. Who knows really at this point.

That Nic Batum stretch is screwing us over too.

We have space...but not quite enough to make notable signings.
