With how stacked some of these teams are getting my biggest concern is the roster being devoid of enough talent regardless of position or skillset.


The concern wound be a lack of shooting.

Dray
Jimmy
Jk
Simmons
And sometimes podz.

It's 50/50 that they even attempt a wiiiiiiide open 3 pt shot let alone make it.


Draymond and Ben can’t be on the same roster.

They can but they shouldn’t play on the court at the same time. Ben would be a great Dray lite for when he comes off the court.

Ben would be a good a get. It’s a long season and we need depth.

I've always been opposed to trading for Ben and his unearned huge salary. But at the vet min, in a BU role? I could definitely see it.

Lakers get Marcus, Ayton....Warriors so far have gotten squat.

I honestly don't know if Myers and Warriors have a shot at getting these dudes (Lillard) and are just passing or no one wants to put up with a Steph or bust system and the a-hole that is Draymond Green.

Surprised the Warriors aren't more of a front runner to get Malcom Brogdon. Don't they need another ball handler and shooter? When Podz subs out I would rather go Brogdon than Podz. Brogdons capable of guarding 1-3, running the pick n roll, and hitting spot up 3's. I think if you add Horford and Brogdon to that starting lineup the floor IQ will be high, some floor spacing, great ball movement.

Brogdon probably wants more than the minimum. Plus the Warriors may be planning to fill the roster with SRP and UDFAs to keep payroll down.

There was a time a few years ago that Marcus Smart was considered by people on this forum to be the best viable player available. With him signing with the Lakers Is this a missed opportunity?

We’re always amongst the short list of teams that they say is interested in Brogdon. We clearly aren’t doing anything until the Kuminga situation is resolved, but then I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t immediately signed Horford, Melton, and 1 or 2 others from amongst Brogdon, Okogie, Lyles, and other vets that are hanging around and not signed yet.
If I don't have anything funny to say, can I still have a signature?

I'd be thrilled if they move 32m in contracts to get Jrue. That, IMO, would make the team worse. They need front court defense, not more perimeter players. Unless, they plan to role out Lebron at C for defensive purposes.
