    I get that there were many who wanted us to sign a point guard with the last of our cap space, but there was no one out there for the minimum that was going to make much of a difference. Way better just to sign a good player for depth. I think getting Josh for the minimum was a great move. I think he and Aaron are the best of the stay-ready crew.

    Not if Mr. I. “+23” Crawford has something to say about it.



    OK, as Scola would say, Okogie is OK too

    A second unit with Okogie, DFS, Eason, and Adams is going to be real tough to score against. The fifth guy would have to bring some scoring punch though.

    Okagai is better than Jalen Green, that wasn’t a good trade by the Suns, but at least they didn’t give away Kevin Durant, like some rumored… Right?

    How will KD compliment Okogie’s game? Udoka will need to stagger the two :eek:

    On the court at the same time?

    Dear Lord that's some stifling defense!

    I think we'll see something like this on individual late-game defensive possessions.

    Okogie looks like a fantastic get, posters here keep complaining Rox dont get steals well here he is. Crawford and JD Davison also decent in the limited time I've seen.

    They need to consider Okogie for the starting lineup. He was the only guard on the floor starting the 2nd half when the Rockets made a run. Both Amen and Reed were sitting.

    He looks like a huge addition.
