Why would we even need those 2? Injured Gallo and another backup PG?


Boston's got three second-rounders this year and future 1sts.. I'd assume they'd be outbidding other teams with picks. Pritchard's a nice player, too, if you're dealing away any guards.

Galllinari can help Paolo with his Italian, so he'll be ready for the next Olympics. I agree...we DON'T need more bodies, we need better ones...I'd rather have cap space than either of those two. Nothing wrong with Pritchard, we just don't need him...maybe pull Hauser out of them, IF they really value Bamba.

Yeah.... I think we also have a lot of future 2nd rounders in our inventory as well. We are trying to consolidate, not add more players we don't need.

How much is Josh Green valued by Dallas?
Would Bertans and Green for Harris, Bamba and our 2nd round pick entice them? They clear a dead contract and get two guys with experience and ability to spot up

Isnt Bertans one of the worse contracts in the league AND he cant get PT in a team where they need 3pt shooters for Luka?

Yes, thats their incentive to part ways with an young player who is a good defender and a promising shooter too. Green is the player we want in this trade.
Plus Bertans contract is not fully guranateed for 2024-25. So we get a season of him and if he doesnt work, whocares.

Pritchard wouldn't be a bad add if he was about 4 inches taller. But he's not. I'd assume we get some picks in a deal like that.

If this FO dumps Harris, I will be sick to my stomach. Why are they so deadset against having competent three point shooters on the roster?

People keep saying this but where are we supposed to upgrade? It's either him or Fultz at this point..... Running it back isn't an option

Jazz are about to hit turbo on their tank now. I’ll be interested to see if the Wolves fall back into the lottery too, or if Conley makes them better.

Where do these Raps fans come up with these Suggs and Bamba for an expiring FVV?

I mean of they base it on that article... which i dunno who the hec is... didnt the article say Raps would need more than FVV to get Suggs? Instead it is us who is adding Suggs for FVV?

We have 40 million in cap this offseason. There’s upgrades to be made that don’t require giving up the only capable three point shooter on the team. Besides, I don’t see how we upgrade at all by killing the floor spacing worse than it already is. The thing we should be looking to add is MORE shooters, not giving away what we got.

Also, there is other players on the roster besides Harris and Fultz that can be moved to make things happen too. If you’re looking for a serious upgrade and not just swapping role players then you probably got to offer someone like Suggs anyways.

I’m surprised teams aren’t knocking on our door to acquire Gary. Cheap contract for 45% on 3s. We need more volume but you’d think playoff teams would appreciate another shooter.

Good shooters are out of the league every year. DJ shot 43% last season, and he couldn't find a job this season. Etwaun Moore was over 40% the year before he was out of the league.

I just don't think Harris moves the needle. A smallish SG who has no creation ability.

If Hart has that type of value, Gary should pull a top 20 pick too :lol:

Get on the phone Weltman

...and I like Gary
