    Wall-Harden-Gordon-Tate-Wood

    That’s the lineup I wanna see. 5 guys who can penetrate to the rim with decent shooting.

    Gordon is superior than House in every way. Better shooter, slasher and defender. For those who are worried about bench scoring, as long as we stagger the minutes we should be fine.

    Tate has clearly outplayed Tucker. We give up some shooting but Tate does everything else better than Tucker, including defensively and overall much better threat than Tucker offensively.

    Then you sign Michael Beasley to replace Tucker. He’s another guy who can give you some scoring punch off the bench. I know people are going to ridicule me for saying that but Tucker is washed. He is not stopping anybody and score 5 points in the last three games. 5 POINTS. 100% sure Beasley can contribute more as long as you keep his role limited. Wall-House-Brown-Beasley-Cousins. That’s a pretty good looking second unit with all 5 guys being scoring threat.

    Tucker is good. Every NBA team wishes they had a PJ Tucker.

    I have been wondering where is Kenneth Fareid. Just tell him to rebound and dunk.
    We are one player away and if we hang in there he will appear at the latest as a ring chasing vet fore the playoff run.
    PATIENCE!!

    Unsurprising that the person who was crying the most when we didn't get Melo when he was beyond washed wants to sign Beasley in 2021. *eyeroll*

    Tuck still plays great D and hustles. Look at the game tape. Not his fault Rox lost against mavs. Who’s going to guard 4s? Tuck can guard anyone. I don’t understand where some of you get this washed idea from. He’s always been the same player. All of a sudden he’s not getting as many looks for corner 3s and you people call him washed? Not sure Tate can guard 4s. Why Beasley? Can he play defense? You’re advocating a smaller lineup which I’m not sure this team needs. We need a tough 5 that can cover for wood’s mistakes. I like Taj Gibson or imahmi as starting 5. Bigger tougher not smaller.
