    can we get patterson back too?

    a midrange shooting out to 3pt PF is what we lack.. and hes tougher than he used to be

    i wouldnt mind losing bev if we roll with llull and vasquez...

    the IQ at the guard spot would be impeccable. Especially if we keep prigs

    he was so damn good in the Big Easy ...and then ...he wasn't. Was really high on him early and don't know what to make of him now.

    I think he would be great for us. He's a great playmaker and has a really good 3pt shot. Pretty much everything we need. If we can nab him and Lull I would be so happy

    how can anyone on this board be down about adding this guy? here's how i will rate any trade for a pg: is he better than terry and prigs? if yes, good trade.

    i think morey's first choice is to keep bev and add llull. if either one of those doesn't work out... trade papa and prigs for him and call it a day.

    Any reason to get Prigs off the team I will take it...

    Even GV. He is hot garbage mixed in with ass water sauce but I will take him over Priggy Smalls any day.

    I didn't realize he's become a good shooter. Consistent steady improvement in his 3pt shot for 5 seasons, and in the last 2 he's hit ~38% on ~4 attempts in just 24 minutes. That's a prolific number of 3's while maintaining a very good %, though not elite.

    We know he's a really good passer, always somewhere between 2:1 and 3:1 asst/to ratio.

    Is he a good defender?

    not everything is a basketball move. sometimes GMs make cap moves.

    papa/prigs are non-guaranteed contracts. instant savings for a team close to the luxury tax like the raptors.

    no defense, poor lateral quickness. ankle surgery made him even more slower or the league has just worked him out?

    A PG rotation of Llull and Vasquez would be very nice! Big combo PG/SG's next to Harden ... perfect! :grin:
