    Looking hapless against the Tatum/Brown-less Celtics hurts even worse than the loss.

    I did think he was a better shooter. But off the bench he would provide toughness and he's definitely not a guy that people would leave open so would provide spacing also. 36% threes could be better but not terrible.

    Also toughness and defense, not afraid to mix it up when needed, doesn't back down as we've seen. He's like a poor man's Dillon or Fred lol

    Crushed by Celtics at home with no Jaylen or Jayson.

    Stone is a terrible gm. One of the worst in sports. Who trades for KD(which I liked) and does nothing else?

    It's very frustrating but I've always been content to acquire a 15-20 minute backup - which are clearly going to be available via buyout.

    If we waive Tate and Holiday then we sign Haywood Highsmith (was just waived) and Mike Conley I'd be over the moon.

    He did. He gave out a bunch of money to people who are injury prone or are fat little PGs that got hurt.

    I don’t think we can just waive and sign new players, we are too close to the hard cap. We likely need to send one of those guys out without taking back any salary.

    Mike Conley is better than Holiday or Tate?

    Tough times if these are the type of pickups that get us over the moon.

    But the Bulls do have a ridiculous amount of smalls guards. Simons or Sexton buyout could be incoming
