Also, does he bring that winning mentality because that's what we're missing. I just think we need guys who give effort. With constant effort winning will come and along with that a winners mentality. We need guys who play hard and play to their role with no push back. I think DJ would allow for everyone to fit more comfortably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if we really need deandre Jordan. The cost to obtain him/ cost to retain him might be too high. We might be fine with a platoon of biyombo, speights, and birch.

A winning mentality is consistent perseverance and not settling for piss poor effort. DJ's 22 mil per year does make it difficult. Maybe it's best to trade Vuch for a low cost high potential pg like a Rozier? Or Smart? Would love to have that guy here. Don't think Boston would do it though. I also question EP's "winning" mentality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted November 23, 2017 I think a trade with Sacramento makes a lot of sense. Give some package of Mario and Vooch for Hill and WCS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His shooting form is bad and should have been corrected by now. His arm should never go past a 90 degree angle on a ft attempt. He shoots it like a little kid who doesn't have the strength to throw it that far. I can't for the life of me understand why this is not fixed. It is not that hard to see it or fix it.

Us declining Mario’s option completely diminished any trade value he may have. I do like the idea of Hill though, really wanted him in FA but we couldn’t afford him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What makes me question is his inconsistencies on defense. He's a very capable defender and he showed that in his rookie year but he doesn't always show up there. As far as his shooting, he was asked this previous summer if he's been working on it and he was basically nonchalant about it. Saying yeah but it's not my game. I'm working on strength and stuff. The two areas that we really need him to work on to be more consistent is the less of his worries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We also need him to make his damn free throws. 2-7 from the line is inexcusable from your starting point guard. It’s a different ball game down the stretch if he’s 5-7.

Lock down defense from him in the forth Unfortunately he is a follower and not a leader. And I think that comes into play on his d. His effort is on d is a reflection of whole teams effort on d. The whole team came out in the 4 th to put in maximum effort. And he was doing his part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not the GM though so I don't have to make smart moves lol. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
