    Dunleavy is a great shooter, not good, great. 40% over the last 7 years.

    Casspi and Garcia are good shooters, Dunleavy is an upgrade. This team needs great shooters given how we play.

    Dunleavy can be lights out in this system. I think its a good move tbh..

    Our bench seems to disappear and we need off the ball shooters.

    Our bench has really let us down this year. Injuries played a part, but Garcia has been downright awful, and Casspi has been the same as in his Sacramento days, not better as we all hoped he would be, playing PF instead of SF.

    Dunleavy's not great, but he probably represents an upgrade at this point. Where's Delfino when you need him!

    Rockets couldn't offer a 2 year $6.5 million contract in the offseason. They only had the room exception, 2 years $5.3 million.

    I would send Brewer and DMo to them plus maybe a 2nd rounder for Dunleavy. He would be an upgrade over Garcia for sure plus his contract expires in the summer of 2015.

    Garcia and Casspi haven't shot the three ball very well up to this point, but ai don't think they have been awful. If the threes start falling then everyone will be happy. Dunleavy could help, If he doesn't hit the threes, he won't be any better than Garcia or Casspi.

    Dunleavy is better than both Garcia and Casspi off the dribble. That's not saying much, but it's still an improvement we need on the perimeter.

    We though Garcia would be our sniper but he hasn't and Dunleavy is a sniper.

    He won't cost us much to acquire, so any upgrade is a positive. I actually think he could be a key upgrade. Casspi isn't underachieving, he is what he is.

    Dunleavy is a proven shooter, and frankly better all around.
