    JJ also handled ball for Suns at times when Nash sat. MDA very familiar with his skillset.

    Yeah, this is more accurate. JJ is a 3/4. He can be a point PF in a 2nd unit at times. ISO Joe can ISO. ;-) Really JJ is a poor man's Carmelo. As a small ball PF that can shoot he would be a nice addition.

    JJ is a nice hedge against Anderson $hitting the bed again in the playoffs.

    More than us landing someone, I’m more concerned with who teams don’t land. For example, Belinelli just got bought out. We can’t use him, but I really don’t want him going to OKC.

    If the Rockets didn't already have Gerald Green on the roster this would be someone to look at. But with Green here, it seems duplicative of skill set and position.

    In what universe can Marco Belinelli jump like Gerald Green?

    He went to Atlanta from Phoenix to become just that, the primary ball handler. Did you watch the playoffs last year? He was getting whatever he wanted against Clippers.

    And yes he has played the 4 quite a bit, check his splits on b-ball ref.

    David Aldridge saying the Rockets have inquired about Tony Allen. @Nook mentioned him previously.

    He was great against the Clippers. Though inconsistent. He was not good at all game 2 for example. And not great game 3 either. But given his age and expectations, yeah he definitely outperformed. He was bad through against the Warriors. All told, he had 3 REALLY good playoff games out of 11. The other 8 were either meh or horrible.

    Him going to OKC would make them an even worse matchup for us than they already are.

    Can we do 3 buyouts? I know we'd have to release players.

    Would like to have Joe Johnson, Bogut and Tony Allen

    ISO JOE and Bogut would be good enough for me... but do we give to Tarik black/QI/Troy Williams/Onuaku?

    Interesting. With Ariza, Luc and Tucker I wouldn't think there would be much need for us to go after Tony Allen.

    But I guess if we kept OKC from getting him that would be a win

    We are going to play horde tactics against GSW and OKC.

    It's all about the Warriors.

    You put this ****er and Luc on Durant in a 7-game series and it helps our chances.

    My guess is Tony Allen goes to the Thunder
    Bellinelli to the Wolves
    Iso-Joe to the Rockets or Celtics
