I bet he's a future Sun. Close to his home out west. Also see the Lakers as a possibility.

Unless a guy is a clear upgrade over Ayo, than I'd just rather give Ayo the PT.

Alec Burks best player on the list. Only he, Rose and Westbrook would be helpful in my opinion and I think Westbrook is most a bad fit.

You guys are thinking of Reggie Jackson from a couple of years ago. He's been straight trash the last two seasons. Take a look at his stats.

I'm looking at his stats. They are a billion times better than Russ or Wall's.


All three are washed. Among the PGs, I'm on the PatBev train. We could use his intensity and leadership, and he's good enough to be in our PG rotation.

Nerlens would be kinda cool to see how we’d look with that type of center.

Goga for the same reason

Kevin Love could be a great get in addition to any one of the veteran point guards.

At least Westbrook would garner massive media attention. Since we aren't going anywhere relevant anyway.

I'd definitely kick the tires on Pat Bev, but Kevin Love is the name that jumps out there. He'd be worth a definite look over a lot of the vertically challenged 4s that have been in the rotation this year.

I agree. Love can still shoot the 3 pretty well and has some good size. Beverly would be interesting. Him and Caruso on the floor at same time would be very good defensively although we wouldnt be able to score lol

Why would anyone want Bev? He’s horrible on both ends and on defense he’s all bark no bite nowadays.

That's a "what the hell?" Really surprised w/Love. But if this guy's real - then it's not real.

Westbrook would be the most entertaining addition even if it inevitably blew up spectacularly...but he's probably going to the Clippers

Wall sounds interesting in theory but he's gotta be super washed if the Clippers just stopped playing him

Pat Bev + Caruso would probably be the most irritating backcourt to play against...but Bev seems washed at this point and doesn't provide any playmaking

Reggie Jackson...ehhh I'd rather just play Ayo or Coby

Burks is actually a really solid role player, not really a playmaker but has been shooting 3s at a 40% clip for a few years now

DRose - not sure if he has anything left in the tank but would be worth it for the nostalgia...MVP MVP

Contract buyouts will be interesting. I’d be interested in Reggie Jackson, George Hill or even Kevin Love but who would we cut us the bigger question.

Candidates:
Marko
Tony Bradley
That’s it?

Also, if Rose is bought out you bring him back. Idc the fit. He’d bring something to this team we desperately need! A reason to tune in :lol:

D Rose or John Wall for me. I believe Wall still has game and could work with Lavine and DeRozan.

Westbrook would be interesting with this roster. If you're comparing him stricktly to the guy he would replace (Ayo), he'd be an upgrade in a few areas:

Rebounding: There aren't many better rebounders in the league than Russ, because he relentlessly attacks the glass.

Drive and kick: Lavine and Vuc could get a lot more open 3's because he still attacks the paint and is always looking to pass. Ayo can't get past many decent defenders even though he's younger

Both Ayo and Russ aren't threats beyond the 3-point line, so not a huge drop-off there.

Even if Russ accepted a role similar to when he was on the Lakers, he's a clear upgrade over anyone on our 2nd team in terms of rebounding and playmaking.

A lot of interesting names. I would go for Westbrook. But also keep an eye on Conley, there were rumors he's thinking of buyout from Minnesota.

I don't want Pat Bev, not really a point guard, just a shell of himself as a defender. Not a big Reggie Jackson fans.

I also like Barton and Burks.
