As they should. Trey Murphy would be awesome here. Bummer that they're not dumb.

What we need is to either construct a team that prevents close games by winning non-Embiid minutes, or a team that gives Maxey and Embiid good opportunities by having less fatigue (depth), better shot quality (spacing), and improved frequency (rebounding and defense) if a game becomes close.
Against the Knicks, Josh Hart and Divicenzo hits their biggest shots. They don’t need a Jimmy Butler to make the shots for them.
Dont see this at all. The recipe for success is taking the scoring burden off of Joel and allowing him to focus on dominating defensively. His scoring takes a playoff hit every season. He was just absolutely abysmal in 5 of 6 4th quarters against the Knicks. Love Joel, but there is nothing about him that suggests he can be a championship caliber closer. Maxey, may be different, but Joel, not a chance.
This team needs another scorer in the worst way. Not an over the hill overpaid max guy. But they need someone who can be relied upon to score in the non-embiid minutes and who can take some more of the scoring burden away from Joel while he's on the court, because honestly, dude is getting 37-40 minutes in the playoffs dang near every night regardless of who the backup center is. That's just how it goes in the playoffs. Teams shorten their rotation and play their best players more. So he needs to rest while on the court, too.

Is this an addition by subtraction type of move? Or is Ingram just that bad that the talent of Murphy and Ingram is nearly equal? It seems like the Pelicans aren't placing much emphasis on Ingram's playmaking, shot creation, and Free Throw rate (FTr), all of which are areas where he has an advantage over Murphy.
I still believe in adding Ingram; I think his offensive responsibilities on our team won't be as significant that could improve his efficiency. However, our front office should proceed with caution before making the move. This could also be seen as a buy-low opportunity for Ingram.

Look at the shooting, rebounding, and passing numbers he had this year. The vibes would be great, as well. I don't really see a downside. He'd likely be dirt cheap, as well.

If he’s our 3rd PF, then sure. I’m just tired of relying on old unathletic dudes who can’t stay healthy.

Saric likely comes for vet min and won’t be in the playoff rotation unless he’s effective.
Like Kobble says virtually zero downside. Bring him home.
What's wrong with Saric at the minimum? Could be good depth as a PF / small ball big.ProcessDoctor wrote:Arsenal wrote:ProcessDoctor wrote:

Sure, bring him back for the vibes. Does nothing to improve our championship odds. Might as well bring back Cov for the min too then.

We have like 12 roster spots to fill. Might as well sign guys that contribute to the vibes to fill out the team.
I would take Saric, Batum, Lowry, and Covington back on vet minimums if they're willing to sign.
