Robin or Thanasis?

No we've had 3. Crowder/Carter/Payne all have been on our roster since the series.

Carter was not part of the 2021 team though.

Are you familiar with Google or have you watched any of the post game celebration? He is next to Booker and walks into the locker room with him.

They needed a backup pg. They got one. He might suck. He might not.

Carter was most definitely on the 2021 Suns. Announcers constantly bring up that he would go back on the court and put up shots after finals games even though he wasn’t in the rotation.

Those young guys being able to hold their own or not is going to make it break the season. Feel like Horst’s one big blind spot is his inability to find any serviceable wing players.

Yep, we seemingly have a great roster but are taking an unnecessary gamble on young guys being ready this season. I hope they are as they would obviously be a big help now and in the future but if they aren't then we'll be desperate at the deadline with not much worth trading

He had his best year last year. He’s better than Carter. It’s going to be good.

0.00% chance they cut Thanasis and like 0.1% chance they would cut Robin. It would have to be AJ Green imo.

Not cutting the biggest deadweight on the team for legit rotational players because they are siblings of two of your better players is only a thing the Bucks would do.

there is no one to cut, Rolo/TA are here for Brook/Giannis

Aj Green/Marjon/Ajax wont be cut as they are promising young players

Livingston wont be cut because it would RUIN the relationship you have with klutch, and is also promising.

Its a 2 for 1 trade and thats the only avenue. I think we roll with this squad till the deadline and see if Jae/Beasley or any of the young wings can prove they deserve that spot.

I would cut AJ if the right opportunity came along. Not sure Bullock is it though.

Well ****, they all have access to basketballreference too?

Can we waive Thanasis and give him a 2 way contract after that? I mean he still gets paid and can still be with the team while you add Bullock who can play. What's there for Giannis to hate?

One of Adrian Griffin’s claims to fame is developing young players.

Shaky shooters like MarJon and especially Andre Jackson Jr. couldn’t have a better opportunity playing next to Dame.

Beasley and AJ Green have a role but we do need another athletic wing defender and the ideal way to get there is to develop in house.
