    KD makes 56M bro you arent gonna find a 2 way or vet min to replace that. You have to be realistic if a 2 way can replace KD then we shouldnt have traded for him.

    Whitmore didnt want to be here and sit on the bench. He didnt want to be the insurance.

    If KD gets injured then FVV, Sengun and Amen need to step up offensively. I expect Tari will be the starter and DFS will get more PT.

    Who exactly did you think you were getting on a 2way contract who can immediately come in and produce?

    Or do you mean a 2guard who can play both ends?
    To be fair, that remains to be seen with Whitmore. Dude can definitely score - but pass and defend, not so much....
    We might have other guys on the roster who can score too...

    With Whitmore passing and scoring, the rest of the team can compensate for the defense. What you need is a SG who has flashes of brilliance, someone who can take over the game every so often, essentially Whitmore—who we traded for nothing.

    I'm not expecting them to completely fill in for KD. I am expecting that they can provide a scoring flow that makes the drop off less painful.

    I'm glad Stone has been working to find some better talent for the stay ready squad. We invested a few years in some guys that didn't really improve. It was time to move on.

    Yeah it seems like these last few additions are really well thought out in good value.

    What passing?

    Also, his game takeovers are a theoretical possibility since season 2....

    A great opportunity for him to learn from FVV, one of the successful G-League vets in the league.

    I get what you are saying but at the same time with the roster stacked the way it is a high quality player wouldnt wanna be on the team as injury insurance. At the wings we have Amen, KD, Tari and DFS so 3-4 guys at the spot not even counting Josh Okogie and the stay ready crew.

    If you are a guy who can semi fill in for KD like Cam why would you happy just sitting and not playing until KD gets injured? Of course Cam was extremely immature but if I know I can be a 20 pt.scorer I also wouldnt be happy watching or playing just 5-10 mins a night.
