    Why hasn't he been signed yet?

    I'm sure his value is similar to Luc Mbah a Moute

    Nah we're good. PJ, Luc and Ariza is sufficient.

    1 more would be very good. Tony Allen can defend any one from KD to Curry. Very versatile

    Why would he sign here though to get 0 guaranteed minutes? There are no guaranteed minutes left on the roster at the guard/wing spots.

    No it wouldn't, only 5 players can be on the court at a time. Having too many players who don't pose a threat to score isn't going to get it done against the warriors. The balance we have now and hopefully the addition with Melo is a good mix.

    Nah, he can’t shoot, they literally had andrew bogut guarding him in the playoffs. Plus, his defense isn’t the same. Our other defenders can at least have some hope when they throw a shot up.

    Unfortunately he is really really bad offensively.

    No thanks.

    I want my bench to be full of people like Gordon. Obviously he is an exception and most people won't be on this level, but I want scorers.

    So lets say god forbid someone gets hurt. You need depth for that very reason.

    We got plenty of wing defenders. We need a solid PF defender.

    You don't build your depth on wing defenders. That's a waste of your roster spots and a horribly assembled team.

    I'll say this if he wants to come here for pennies then fine but just know there will be no minutes for him. He's 6'4 and 35 years old. He's not the Tony Allen in that video you posted. He can't guard KD like you said.
