IMO, Tate is a player we should keep, core rotational player at worst, guys like Wood, KPJ, Martin, Tate, Green, Sengun, Saruba, Christopher. We need to desperately unload John Wall, I love him, but $44m is too much, I also love Gordon, but I’d trade him to a team he’d prefer to go to, he likely wants to win, not happening anytime soon here. As for House, I’m 50/50 on him. I also like Theis & Nwaba, not sure if they’re long term or tradeable assets.
yeah id love me some continuity , familiarity and stability...the perpetually turnovering roster is not fun... this is a good squad we have , lets give these guys a few years to really polish their games and learnt to play for and off others ljke a real basketball team...
Really liking the core for a rebuild moving forward. Unfortunately, Wall is here to stay. For now. But as others have pointed out he's probably good for only 45- 50 games. So plenty developmental minutes will be available for the youngsters. Please move Gordon and House ASAP. Especially House. Roster lacks front court size/bulk/heft. Someone to bang and ruff up opponents. Yes, Garuba eventually. To throw out a couple of names I think would complement this roster, I got two. Robert Williams (Boston). C Metu (SAC). Both clubs added
Premature on hitting reply. Sorry for the rambling. Have no clue as to whether either is available. Just to add, Boston has a rookie coach, might rely more on vets. Metu showed well in the Olympics. SAC roster full of bigs. Looks like they added a center in the draft to groom.
About Jimmy Butler, he's already breaking down and injured a lot but Miami does manage to pull off trade magic from time to time (Lowry, also getting old for the NBA, but still very effective when on the court). And you have to pay the stars. The main thing here is Baynes. I haven't had that medical problem, thank God, but I had a calcium / parathyroid thing (undiagnosed for a while) that robbed me of quality of life for a year. Health issues suck and I wish the best for him.
yeppers, therefore I didn’t like it. I guess that Deer Park’s bucks or whatever twas called paid off some future bills from thems buckeroos.
I wonder if you switch from doing a SnT for Theis to using your MLE on him. That lets you keep your TPE to take back salary from a tax paying team later in the year. I don't see anyone worth using the MLE on at this point.
We've signed players like Khyri, Jeasean, etc, using sliver of MLE and its worked out just fine. I rather keep MLE for those kind of cases.
