Joseph is probably the ideal backup to Trae. Fairly young but with 8 seasons. Should come fairly cheap, 10 mill or less. Durable, played in all games except for 2 the past 4 seasons.

Biggest plus for him is he only avg. 1 turnover. It's a great contrast to Trae's turnover issues.

Is this guy an option for us?

Is he any better than J Adams?

Neto did not have a major role in Utah at any moment, mainly playing against second units, but he overall had a positive impact, the team was not loosing points on opponent with him at all. He could be a nice try.
Now, there is Trae, and Turner was brought here to play SG and PG when Trae is on the bench. There won't be enough playing time to test correctly both Turner and Neto, and Turner is more positionless than Neto so he should fit the project more than Neto

I love Neto a lot when he entered the league, he faded a little, but still solid, he is better than J Adams
By the way, can you sign Jeremy Lin back? When?

I'm sure we could, but not sure if he had a spot. I feel Schlenk is confident in the Young/ET/Adams of rotation.

I'm not sure he even wants to come back.

He seems to be past the backup PG on a losing team phase of his rehab.

He'd likely settle in as mid-season signing for a playoff contender in need of depth.

The reality for Lin is he might not be able to land a job in NBA this season,as a Lin fan, I’d like to see him back to be the vet presence ... this group of young hawks will be special, Lin is perfect for cultivating a good culture ... at the same time, he will have a define role in this team
