Here we are lol.

Beal and Lavine back to their respective teams. Dame hasn't been on the market.

Herro and Duncan gone after 6pm.

Only two bigs names that were out there are KD and Mitchell for a while. What GM quietly takes a deal for KD or Donovan without seeing what others would offer? I'm still trying to figure out who was this guy we got and handshake deal in place for.

Sigh.


Im out of the loop on the back and forth around ICC and his sources and whatever

You said we've got our guy with a handshake deal and Tyler and Duncan are gone today

is this satire or something, or are you saying it as if its what you believe, or what?

How much you wanna bet that there will be multiple times where he is going to be wide open from that same exact spot with no one within 20 ft of him, but he will still be looking at people on the bench to pass to before even dreaming of looking at the rim and letting it fly.

Bam Simmons everyone, Heck of a passer and defensive player but don't ask for a lick more.



I'm just hoping that the loss in the conference finals woke up something in him.


Spo either loves what he is getting out of Bam or has no balls. If I was coach Bam would be shooting or he'd able to play all 48 mins of a game from how fit he is from all the extra conditioning I put him through for not doing what I asked from him. I'd literally sit down with him after every game and break down the video. " You see here how you had this small fry in front of you guarding you 1 on 1 and you didn't even look at the rim? Yea that's 20 laps around the court". "Oh wait what do we have here? the very next play you did the same thing, now you owe me 40 laps". Something has to give on that front.

If he wasn’t doing what Spo was asked it would obviously change lol. Unfortunately Spo asks him to spam DHOs to these bums Duncan Strus and Herro non stop because they can’t do anything without a screen

No basically all of this is what ICC has been telling us. His source said we got our guy and couple days later said it was a done handshake deal. Day of free agency he said Herro and Duncan were gone after 6pm. I'm just asking how do we go from all these curtains to still being in a position where absolutely nothing has happened.

Vincent/Schroder/Javonte Smart
Strus/Oladipo/Ellington
Jimmy/Martin/Highsmith
Durant/Melo/Haslem
Bam/Dedmon/Robinson


Mitchell will also be accepted, but will need a more serious 4 if that's the case. Maybe try to get bojan too?

Same could have been said about Simmons no? All-defensive team, great passer, guards anybody 1-5 but when you need points Ben refuses to shoot, Bam refuses to even look at the rim unless there is no one on his way to the basket.

Don't get me wrong Bam is not trash. What makes me frustrated is that there is no reason he shouldn't be better on the offensive end. He has the tools, he has the skills. So either the team doesn't want him scoring or he simply doesn't have it in him. Either way when you have a big three, one of your 3 can't be a guy afraid of taking a PG on a 1 v 1 to the basket. You punish that every single time until they start bringing help. Then you go into your bag and whip out the passing and everything else.

I still like the idea of adding Isaiah Roby. A good shooter who can play next to Jimmy and Strus on the cheap seems like something we should be interested in.

Looks solid. Would probably try and pluck a more capable 3rd string 3/4 out of FA.

Dunc is a plank of wood, But Strus and Herro can get there without a DHO Spam. The #1 thing that does frustrate me about this team is that we literally have no offensive gameplan. Give Jimmy the ball and get out of the way, or just Spam DHO's and pray we hit on our threes. It's good that we take defense seriously but we can't forsake offense totally as spo has for the longest.

Have to hope he makes through waivers. Slight chance but we’ll see.

Could make Orlando Robinson a 2 way guy instead of 3rd string C (I think Cain gets the other) - if so, here are minimum guys who would make sense for that role you asked for -

Eric Paschall
Gary Clark
Isaiah Roby



Would love Roby
