    I would agree because Brooks has a little more offensive skills in his game, but all three are essentially 3 & D guys.

    It looks that way unfortunately.... I really think he would have shined with 20+ min in the rotation, and if Ime still doesn't like him by the deadline, then Cam's value has been pumped up by then.

    Our coach loves role players, that are mediocre as players just like Ime was.

    It’s true, Tate, and this guy……you think great coaches like Rudy or Phil Jackson would have passed on a good young talent like Cam?

    Rudy knew how to motivate all kinds of players.

    Hell we won with MadMax as a starter…..

    Pretty sure Amen starts as a guard next season and is easily better than over half the guys that start at guard next season.

    Spot on DD….Smith a decent pickup for league minimum, but we cripple ourselves by giving him 15 million dollars and possibly the Lakers Cam and Landale. This ruined my day as the Rockets and Stone can’t seem to get out of their own way.

    We have assembled some solid talent for a team that has ruined its future by passing on edey and crippled ourselves with this possible transaction.

    to be clear I think Amen will play guard, but I think he’s got to grow into that. His skillset in my opinion is better suited to the 3. But I acknowledge we are in an era of positionless basketball.

    And we were debating Amen vs Cam at guard

    This is Rudy Gay vs. Shane Battier all over again people.
    • Rudy Gay, according to Basketball Reference, had 61 win shares in 1120 games.
    • Gay played in 19 total playoff games in his NBA career.
    • Shane Battier, according to Basketball Reference, had 75.7 win shares in 977 games played.
    • Battier played in 112 playoff games and helped Miami win the NBA Championship two times.

    One thing I wonder about bringing in DFS is if it means anything for Tari. It doesn't have to--between Tari's leg and KD's age/injury history, there is reason to have more forward depth than most teams. But perhaps signing DFS would make it possible to trade Tari if there's somebody we're targeting.

    Have I missed something? This Board is sold that a deal is solid. Is it? What are the deets?

    perhaps worrying a loose report is premature?

    Hope this isn’t a deal involving Cam. Giving him to the Lakers screams of regret.

    People on Twitter are all: I like DFS as a Dillon replacement.

    KD is Dillon’s replacement. So are Tari/Bari.

    That said, KD and Tari will miss games. As always.

    I’m fine with this as a depth move, but the bigger priority is SG, IMO.

    I hope we get picked off by another team wanting Dorian's portrait
