I’m reading MKG to Dallas https://nba.nbcsports.com/2020/02/0...hael-kidd-gilchrist-who-could-join-mavericks/ Marvin Williams to Bucks https://nba.nbcsports.com/2020/02/08/marvin-williams-to-bucks/
We have a lineup with westbrook. We have a lineup for westbrook when he plays with Harden. What do we do when Westbrook is not there to push the temp is my concern. During that time we need Harden to still be effective and the way to do that is to give him the ability to use his full arsenal of attacks. MDA can be extremely one dimensional but if we give him pieces so that he can properly expand then I am sure he will do it. With a nudge from the front office and Harden as well.
I suggest to sign I Thomas for cp3 position, he has shooting accuracy and suitable for our team when Gordon and westbrooks are out. We need him as a reliable shooter next to harden
clemons is not a all star and does not have eastern finals experience. I think MDA will trust I Thomas rather than clemons in the playoffs. His style also looks like westbrooks like to shoot close to the rim which is good when 4 people stand in 3 point line to let him get in
Gordon seems has injury and unable to play in suns game, we only rely on harden seems not able to win.
I just think we have a disagreement about needs and priorities. You’re concerned about tempo with differing lineups. I’m concerned about defense and making sure we have the right personnel to employ the switch heavy scheme we run. Just saying, I’ve always been very impressed with MKG’s defense, and if the opportunity comes to add him essentially for free, then I’m all for it.
Has Cam learned to play defense yet? I was a big fan when we got him but that was the one area he really needed to improve. Otherwise Cam is Faried with 3ball and inconsistent motor. Cam Oliver - 6'7 7'1 wingspan 40" max vert Ken Faried - 6'7 7'0 wingspan 35 max vert
Well it centers around his three point shot and he was sent to the g league to work on post play. That was all I could find of him recently, but he does knock down the corner three with ease
Evan Turner is another one potentially getting brought out. https://www.google.com/amp/s/sports.yahoo.com/amphtml/timberwolves-evan-turner-reportedly-discussing-220059988.html The question is, do we need another 6”6 wing player? Not really.
I just feel like we have guys like Sefalosha Tucker Covington eric gordon and house that should be able to do this. I am really glad we got covington who is arguable one of if not the best wing defender now and will play heavy minutes much like Ariza did. What we do not have is someone to fill in the gap that when we lost Clint for just a few minutes a game. That guy will probably not close out games because we will be running Tucker Covington Eric Gordon James and Westbrook. But when Westbrook sits down notice how Harden struggles. The big man giving him a screen was a big part of his game.
