No thanks on Dinwiddie either. You guys got to stop getting duped by Usage. You give any guard 25-30% usage, and they'll give you numbers.

This doesn't make them valuable NBA players unless they can couple that usage with efficiency.

i'd take dinwiddie if we didn't have to give up a ton as a facilitator in a harden trade

he's not spectacular but he's solid, and he signed an $11 million / year contract extension two years ago. i wouldn't be worried about him being super expensive even if he opts out next year

“We’re willing to get uncomfortable,” a high-ranking Rockets source says regarding going to camp and into the season with unhappy superstars. Rockets asking price for James Harden: a young star and massive package of picks.

Don't acquire one.

I’m assuming AK wants to win and wants a vet PG per reports. I’m good w DJ Augustin as a cheap 15mpg mentor.

Well it could be anybody - Conley, Dragic, Rubio, etc.

Otto would be a good offer if we're talking that type of a player (and assuming a week is coming in via draft or somewhere else).

Conley has only this year left. Why would Jazz do that?

Grodoboldo · Post #952 » by **Grodoboldo** » Wed Nov 18, 2020 1:44 am

I wanted to use Young, Sato and Otto in trades for bad salaries and picks. Not really interested in vets that will cost us real assets

The Pels may dump Bledsoe for cheap if AK wants a vet guard.

I’ve always liked Bledsoe. But fit isn’t great for us.

Wonder if Otto could get us more now or at deadline? Expiring and a late 1st?
