    Nah.

    We had 7 guys average double figures last year, but nobody who was the number 1 option.

    Almost looks like we are trying to provide and opportunity for one of those guys who averaged between 12 and 15 ppg last season to step up and be the consistent 3rd (or 2nd?) offensive option on this team.

    Maybe. The pecking order is clearly

    1. Durant
    2. Sengun
    3. VanVleet

    Lmao

    Durant and Alperen Sengün as 1b
    Amen close third
    Bari/Tari


    ....FVV/Reed, you want the playmaking version of Fred and not the chucker even though you want him to take good catch and shoots.

    Well, if Durant goes down, Amen and Sengun have to take it up a level which they both have. They won't need to be playing their best with Durant on the floor.

    I have a feeling this squad is going to be lacking offensively, Stone and Ime thinking getting one KD is going to fix all of last years offensive struggles. Would've been nice to have Cam on the team to provide a boost but Ime too hard headed to give in

    I was hoping for somebody like Gary Payton II or DeAnthony Melton. I always liked Okogie when we had to play against him though. I remember when he was coming off the bench in Minnesota I always liked what he brought to the table.

    It does feel like they're bracing for having to send a few wings out for a guard. Who could be available?

    Isn’t Okogie giving us a legitimate option off the bench rather than having Jeenathan over there? This is an upgrade. Yes, he’s no marksman but what we need is another serviceable guard where we didn’t have one.

    For the 14th spot he’s a good signing. Still concerned about the lack of depth with ball handling skill and the backcourt. But that wasn’t really gonna get solved with the 14th roster spot. Good signing. He’s a really good defender, good motor and sneakily finds ways to score. Pretty Tate redundant, but those are the guys u want off your bench in the 14th spot. Only 26/27.

    Was a lot thinner then. He’s carrying a lot more weight and doesn’t move as fast or defend as well.

    Udoka and Stone do not think KD will fix all of the offensive issues.

    Udoker math: we can barely score and you cannot score at all

    for the 14th roster spot .... this is a signing you can't complain about, this roster is deep, he'd get rotation minutes on a lot of teams.
