    But, Nanu is a no-no for his future @TheToyShop. The missing piece for #7.

    We can still sign Troy if we send two guys out for Melo, and i think we can also sign him to a two way contract if we want.

    Sentimentality this is the signing that has me most hyped. Another Bruin on the team!! LRMAM is a great signing at that price and is gonna be great for lineup versatility.

    That's why I said Gordon better not get hurt.

    I loved the sticker siginh but it was for 4years/32M. Kinda a lot/long time for a player that's already in his 30s.

    Luc is not the player Tucker is but for the min, that's a steal of a deal.

    Take Gordon and Melo out and not so much. At least not offensively. They have got to keep GordonAnd keep him healthy. But you are right about Melo and Gordon.

    The will be going up against other teams bench players, not starters.

    Also, CP's ability to manufacture points will shine during those stretches

    I hear you but I wouldn't worry. If they make the melo trade they will have three hall of fame level offensive players to stagger with various lineups. Even aside from Gordon they should be able to get good production.

    Position-less basketball. I love it. He'll see some time at center too.

    Nice signing. Could be good as a small ball 4 off the bench. Solid depth. I could see a 9 rotation of:

    Paul/Gordon
    Harden/Gordon
    Ariza/Tucker
    Anderson (or Melo lol)/Moute
    Capela/Nene

    That's solid right there.

    I like Troy as much as anyone, but I don't see many minutes here. And he does play with a chip on his shoulder as though he is a superstar and not a super role player. His defense and understanding of team concepts is too untested to be put in many battles. He's got a lot of growing still to do. I hope everything works out for him, and I wouldn't mind him on our team. But if we move on (and we may have just done that), I get that too.

    Getting as many switch-everything forwards that can hit three's is key to beating the Warriors. We have legit options for that role with Tucker and Mbah off the bench, not to mention Trev starting. Zero downside move. I'm pumped.
