Fit wise I can’t think of a better trade for cheaper guys that should end up being available. Tyus is kind of the ideal PG because he knows when to play off ball and let the stars do their thing but step in and set the offense straight when need.

And ya Kispert would get you guys that true lights out sharpshooter you can rely on.

this is the way. I'm ready to be buyers. I believe in the Paolo, Franz, Suggs core.... and if JI can be give us 15 mpg, the future looks bright. Tyus and Kispert shouldn't cost much either.

Franz with 3 straight 30 pt games and Paolo with a 40 spot. Good times. Need Suggs healthy and more pt for Black.

A shooter would do wonders for Franz and Paolo

At times. Mosley has to figure out players like him like Jamal Crawford you have to play them by feel.. if he's hot play him more if he's not or he's struggling defensively play him less.

There were plenty of things wrong today, but if Franz had an average games scoring wise - we win it. He was good defensively, but somehow couldnt beat 6 incher shorter Struss who isnt a elite defender anyway. Ingles deserved a bit more usage too.

It's not just that though.. they need to let Black create more and put him in the Pnr as the ball handler.. just let him play a little instead of parking him in a corner but then again that's what they did with Jalen his 2nd year and it helped him out.

I agree besides those 3 30 games he really hasn’t played well this season but this team needs shooters regardless.

I assume the Chet fans who started the Chet > Paolo thread aren't going to bump it today.

I may troll them
