I just think people severely undervalue how even a player like Corey Jospeh changed the system when he played last season.
Schroeder has far less drawbacks than guys like Dlo, Paul, Brogdon, etc if we are comparing situations. Is he ideal? No. But we are past ideal at this point.
AB didn't work out as a starter with KCP but may with Bane. KCP offered no playmaking at all, and Black needs to be with another guard who can create. I also think Suggs could improve with Bane playing with him. Suggs' 3-pt shooting fell apart when Paolo went out, and he had to create his own shots. Now Suggs has Bane, Paolo, and Franz to create him spot up shots.SOUL wrote:VFX wrote:I get the drawbacks from someone like Schroeder. It's not lost on me.

I agree, but to be fair, this only happened because Suggs was out most of the year and AB/Cole was not working out as a starter that well.
The year before we were a 47 win (almost) 4 seed with Suggs being the starter. This year we were a top 3 seed even with injuries with Suggs healthy for 25% of the season.
So there is a direct correlation of Suggs as a starting PG being good for our overall record, where that now also has to reflect is in our team offense improving. I don't think if you replaced Suggs with, say, Tre Jones or Dennis Schroder over the last two seasons the offense would've been top 24 even, and our defense would've been worse. The personnel was just too erratic in general. It would've made for some easier plays for some guys, but open missed shots would still be open missed shots. I think people are woefully misguided that just bringing in a guy slightly better than Suggs as a playmaker would've made massive changes for this team. Cory Joseph looked good in relation to guys like Cole and AB running the team, still way under what Suggs brought.
I do agree that if there was a legit gamechanging all-star guard on the team, then yes, it would look different. Unfortunately those are hard to acquire and would cost quite a bit. We may need it at some point once we figure out who would need to go in that scenario.

Id heartbroken if either one is not on the Magic.

Deadline is 5pm ET. right?
The Cavs can only trade one player because they are over the second apron. The player they trade needs to be traded for a player or players with fewer salaries than the one they send out.mattyBoi wrote:I have a feeling LeBron ends up on the Cavs this offseason.
