Scary Terry is a guy that would be a big addition. I've considered the same thing. He's definitely a guy I would target and could be the 4th guy to pair with the big 3.

Rozier, Wright, and tucker would be my dream deadline. Start Terry and shake with our big 3 and let Wright/Curry be the bench backcourt

Is Griffin any good anymore even? He basically just throws up jumpers now. 56% of his shots this year are from three. The problem is he's a really bad 3 pt shooter.

I'll take Blake over Scott, especially now that it's even a remote option

Well it looks like he's signing with the Nets which is expected. I really didn't want him here anyway, but it would have been cool to see him in Golden State or Portland. Oh well, he's with Brooklyn now. I'm holding out faith that Morey and company will make the right move at the deadline.

Mike Scott is a better shooter than Blake. Even cooked Mike Scott who take just like 2 shoots a game is a better shooter.

I don't see what's the point on getting the guy, i don't see what he offer to the Nets either. Size? Guy cannot jump anymore

Yeah people just assume he was dogging it in Detroit and on the Nets he's suddenly going to be 20-10 guy again but there's really no evidence to suggest that guy exists anymore.

And even if he finds the youth sirup, he would be taking minutes away from Green and Claxton. The only thing the guy offer is passing and scoring, both things the Nets are overwhelmed with.

I just don't get this signing for both teams but great that the Nets are gonna sign him, i don't want him here.

The bad outweighs the good, at this point.

However, he is a willing floor spacer (albeit at poor percentages) and a good passer.

And he's a former star, at the end of his career, hungry for a ring. Those guys are always awesome to have on championship hopefuls. There are always "turn back the clock" moments from those guys. Even if it's only for a 5 minute stretch of a playoff game.

Almost like a David West type at this point.

I didn't even consider the idea of Terry Rozier. That...would be awesome!

I wish we were able to get him.

Having Dwight Howard and Blake Griffin playing 12-15 minute roles for you off the bench, always a threat for mini stretch of "turn back the clock" play would be incredible and make us that much more scary a playoff team.

Many speculate that the Hornets organization is deadset on making the playoffs by any means necessary. Which may make it unlikely that any deal for any of their key pieces can be made.

If that were a disqualifying factor I don't think many teams would be able to fill full rosters.
