    Keef Morris. 39% from three. Chip on his shoulder that we need for the playoffs.

    Honestly . .. . I would feel better losing if we were testing things out
    Going 50-32 is ok if come playoff time we know EXACTLY what we working with
    but
    Going 55-27 while running the same line up out there and running them in to the group is a recipe for disaster

    What's up with the Crowder mentions? Why would we need another 6'4 guy with a mediocre wingspan? He is half an inch taller and his wingspan a quarter of an inch wider than Eric Gordon. What's worse is he's been an atrocious 3pt shooter for 4 consecutive years, and that coincides with him ramping up his attempts. It's not a phase. In 7 of 8 seasons in the league, he's shot 34% or less.

    He's just a reverse Ben Mclemore (one is better offense, the other better defense). Neglible difference.

    Where does he fit with Harden, Gordon, Rivers, House and Mclemore on the roster?

    We can basically make one trade this season. If they used that on Crowder, I'd literally stop watching this season. We have so many needs, and we'd be getting another replacement level player at a crowded position rather than at a position of real need (a tall forward who can play defense). I'd be all in if he were even 6'7, but we are not winning a chip if the hole at backup PF is not plugged. If we're looking for insurance at the 1/2/3 then let's use the buyout market for that.

    We're so short on assets and money right now, have to make a wise decision.

    Crowder is listed at 6ft 6inches

    And he's played full seasons at PF. For Boston for example when they made the East conf finals. (with Thomas) And Jazz last season.

    6'4.75 without shoes. Essentially a shorter PJ Tucker but not as good a defender, 3 pt shooter (30% this season) and 2" shorter wingspan (6'9 vs. 6'11).

    Overrated.
