    Exactly. Short of him netting us a quality guard, I can’t say it worked even a little.

    Maybe good for another season or so. DH back problems and the new NBA were in the pipeline.

    Again I hope I’m wrong. When I see AG and JI I see difference makers more than scorers. But I hope you are right.

    By Draymond I mean flirting with low scoring triple doubles, playing lock down defense and being a secondary offensive presence.

    I can see him being all defensive.

    Yeah they do. Has always been a problem with AG’s game.

    I think we made an offer for DSJ and it wasn’t to Dallas’ liking. We may make a better offer but it might not even be the best offer out there. Realistically I see DSJ as the only real possibility other than a utility bench guard.

    AG isn’t an allstar and that’s okay. We need to stop leaning on him to be and maybe he wouldn’t have the really bad shooting nights here and there.

    He needs to take less shots. Get what the defense gives him. We’ve seen the best AG but until we have a consistent 1 and 2 option in front of him he’s going to jack up inefficient shots when out there with the 2nd unit guys.

    Ball can’t shoot. The others I can live with.

    So conjecture and optimism.
  12. The Buccaneer

    Magic vs Thunder_Tuesday, January 29 @ 7 pm

    That I disagree with. He’s basically a Draymond type. I don’t think AG’s ceiling is much higher and I think that’s fine.

    AG should be the third option and Evan should be a 6 Man energy guy.

    Whose the rumor?

    I don’t mind 15 10 and 5. We just need a damn scorer.

    Jeremy Lin or KCP aren’t game changers. It’s more bench guys. These guys in the front office have given you no reason for optimism. Lol Call it a freak out of you like. This is a place to vent frustrations. I don’t care about + or - 1. I want the team to be good. When I see TMac and Nichols rooting for us to make a franchise altering move and the front office seems content to sit idly by until we are out of contention so they can get more bench guys and future second rounders that is disconcerting.

    Don’t worry we won’t. We’ll trade Ross for a second string point guard (likely a decent one) or a 2nd round pick. Our splash will be negligible on the front. Not saying you should wheel and deal constantly but you don’t win much when you don’t put your’ chips on the table.

    Truthfully I think he has the most upside of the bunch if he can develop offensively. I don’t think he’ll be “the guy” but he’s a piece.

    Magic vs Thunder_Tuesday, January 29 @ 7 pm

    What possible move do you see them making within 9 days that is a game changer? They won’t go after Conley since it doesn’t for our timeline, Lin/Brogdon are solid backups. Dennis Smith is the only hope on that front.
  20. The Buccaneer

    Magic vs Thunder_Tuesday, January 29 @ 7 pm

    Nor do I. Vuc will make the allstar game and that’ll be touted as our silver lining. He will walk in the off season and we’ll draft another front court or defensive wing. We’ll try to sign a second rate starter and DJ will become the new Ross (minus the defensive ability). We’ll hope that one of the young guys will make a leap.

    If it’s a Brandon Jennings type of trade, hell yeah I will.
  22. The Buccaneer

    Magic vs Thunder_Tuesday, January 29 @ 7 pm

    Again there are plenty of small market teams that stay in contention.
  23. The Buccaneer

    Magic vs Thunder_Tuesday, January 29 @ 7 pm

    Exactly. And they are taking best available and tradinglate picks because the draft fell off. Lol
  24. The Buccaneer

    Magic vs Thunder_Tuesday, January 29 @ 7 pm

    Right?! And I’m not talking Issac. Issac played a good game. To clarify I don’t see him ever being a cornerstone (that’s fine) but at least he played with energy and effort.

    Dude I’m just frustrated with the complacency of the last seven years. Drafting length and hoping someone becomes the second coming of Giannis doesn’t give me much confidence in the future. I may be wrong and I genuinely hope I am.
