Bauncey Chillups

Why so skeptical on Dinwiddie? He's not a great defender but he's got good size and addresses several needs (ball-handling, free throw attempts, can get hot). My only fear with him is that he's on a short deal and could walk pretty soon.

Watching his rookie debut highlights against the Heat he looks like a totally different player. I have no clue how his game is worse today than in his first game.

My guess is that Fournier will opt-out and is treating this season as a contract year.

Does Bamba even like basketball anymore.

I'd be okay with moving Fultz *if* we receive reliable shot-creation in return.

DJ's decline signs are everywhere and he's basically unplayable if his shot isn't there.

Isaac's handle needs to improve quite a bit before his offense can go places. I think a Siakam like progression is possible however.

I'd be okay with that trade but we'd easily fall to being the worst rebounding team in the league.

Okeke isn't a creator but he's a polished offensive player who can shoot from outside and score in the interior.

Bamba over SGA or even Wendell Carter was such a misfire by the FO

At DJ's age + height it wouldn't be surprising if he just fell off completely this year.

What the hell happened to Gordon the last 3 pre-season games? Just fell off completely. I agree that MCW and Fultz shouldn't be on the court together since the floor gets really tiny. Iwundu at the 3 is a much better fit since he'll at least let it fly from deep. Fultz right now is more or less a taller Briscoe with better passing which is fine for the short-term but he's got a long way to go. Kind of worried about Bamba achieving anything past being a solid bench big. Great jumper so he'll always be valuable but his motor on defense and rebounding is unacceptable.

MCW's feel on offense is so bad so of course you'd cut him despite his good defense. Fultz is dangerous in space since he's good at getting into the paint and making plays so this minimizes his low gravity from the lack of shooting. That said, he does need to get his mid-range pull-up game going.

Oh yeah, totally forgot about the "What if Bamba is good" potential this season.

His feel for the game is poor (makes bad decisions a lot) and he can barely dribble. His efficiency isn't that great (middling 3PT% on low attempts, below average foul shooter). I'd rather just hope Fournier gets his %s back up in the short term than hitch our wagon to an expensive role player.

He's still young but I've hated most everything I've seen of Jaylen Brown and don't want him here.

Fournier hitting closer to his career average %s is a more underrated aspect of a potential win improvement. He had the 2nd highest USG% out of the starters while sporting the worst TS% he's had since he played for the Nuggets.

The Team USA squad might not make it out of the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs. Serbia definitely has a good shot at taking them down.

That ringer guy is right on the risk that the contract situation has given the RFA signings on the horizon but the rest is a pretty disingenuous hot take. There's plenty of scenarios where we're a 48 win team with enough asset flexibility to make a major trade.

Shocked Birch didn't get an offer anywhere else. Guys clearly worse than him (Javale McGee) getting more money is comical.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker looked great last night. Really hope Chuma's good.

I'm just going to be blunt and say anyone advocating a Westbrook trade at this point just doesn't know anything about basketball. I get that people are unhappy with Vucevic--I guarantee you'll be even more unhappy when Westbrook is on our team and needs to be paid 46 million dollars at age 35.

OKC should give *us* an asset to take Westbrook's contract. What is this horse**** I see where people are saying we give up Okeke or Bamba to get a guy who tanks your entire offense with garbage threes.

Any supermaxed player hurts your team but Westbrook on a supermax would absolutely slaughter us for the next 3 years.

Aminu does a lot of small things that help you win and I like him more than Evan but umm, we need ball-handling.
