Nurkic for Reaves

For GS, Zion still a potential generational talent if he's ever healthy.

“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

The team better than you is also staying with continuity.
Right, and I'm honestly fine with that. The "blow it up" mindset is crazy to me. I just keep thinking about teams like the Miller Pacers, what if they blew things up multiple times because they kept losing to Jordan? How different would history be? What if Krause blew up the Bulls because Pippen couldn't win it all by himself?!

Maybe, but those Indy teams made some large moves over the years to greatly shift the lineup and direction. Schrempf shipped out for McKey, trading for Mark Jackson (then trading him away…then trading for him again!), swaps for Jalen Rose and Chris Mullin, etc. continuity can work. It can also kill a team. Change can help. It can also kill a team.

Maybe they should at least get Jason Terry. Heck I'd settle for Adrian Griffin despite the Bucks failed experience
Houston can add either of the guys they signed to the KD trade as a sign and trade. Jock is getting waived probably, they're tired of him so I hear and need to get off the salary to stay below the apronMavrelous wrote:Lots of loose ends from yesterday
1. Schroeder S&T
2. Houston spending ~20M in signing DFS and Capella, S&T must be in the works, also 3 centers + unguaranteed one.
3. Denver have room below 1st Apron (and tax)

I'm just laughing because of the Chuck/Barea dynamic. I'm not sure an assistant coach that far down on the totem poll qualifies as a massive fumble.

Continuity for continuity's sake can be stifling, stagnating, but in this case it's a good thing imo. It took a while for the post-KAT Wolves to come together, going from 22-19 in the first half of the season to 27-14 in the second. Worth staying the course, would have been good to keep NAW.

I think the massive fumble is just that guys who were important to the organization seem to be continually distancing themselves from it now. Maybe it isn't massive in terms of on court impact, but it does matter from a fan experience and organizational continuity perspective.

Nothing wrong with signing a backup when your backup is Adams, he can't play a lot. Not a good allocation of their last bit of space below the first apron tho. Don't think it nearly outweighs trading their training weight of a starting SG for Kevin Durant loljbk1234 wrote:I have the Hawks as an early winner this offseason.
