    All his crushes finally give him a chance 7 years too late, after exhausting all their other options first. NeNe had a good run though and Ill always be thankful for his time here.

    RHJ would be a good rotation wing/big for us. Elite defensively with length for days. Not a bad decision maker with the ball either. But damn those %s are abysmal (41% overall, 18% from 3 last year).

    Maybe we can put him on the Josh Smith gym plan (200 threes a day) and he can improve into just a terrible shooter

    Tbf on him, he also played injuried for most of last season, that also costed him a lot of minutes and a set spot in the rotation....but yeah, he's not a good shooter, would've to work on that.

    Yeah, his splits are a bit better in years prior (45% overall and mid-20s from three), but still by no means a world-beater. I am a fan of his versatility on both sides of the floor and think he could be a difference maker for us, despite his shooting.

    CARMELO says we should be all in on Kevin Looney (he gone) + Noah Vonleh + Boogie + KOQ + Luke Kornet

    Talk about slappin' yourself upside the head! Signing Austin for the vet minimum was stunning. I'm sure MarioKissoDeath is stunned silly.

    Because apparently, they don't have enough tall people, SMH.

    This would have been a great signing for us. Noel would have been too. Looney is gone.

    Lets hope we can land one of WCS, McGee or Vonleh.

    Kyle would have been fantastic.


    Man Morey is like he pulled Harden.

    I think an interesting name that I've never seen mentioned is Lance Stephenson for the vet min. When in the right situation, he's a very effective player, I'd be curious what he could do on this team.

    Good defender, passer, can handle, can drive, can shoot, just a head case, maybe PJ and CP3 can keep him in check, maybe MDA can get the best out of him offensively.

    Damn, I was hoping to get some more nuggets from this article but probably for the best that no beans were spilled. At least it mentions we would be all in on Iggy and offer him a hefty contract. IMO, that should be plan F but we need to strike soon with some of the higher talent young players that could possibly be had for the rest of the MLE.
