The one saving grace is the backups can defend. Replacement level offensive players aren't going to elevate our bench offense but might destroy our defense.

Soul Bro 1,409 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 1 hour ago, The Neighborhood Bully said: The Ringer ranked the top 25 players in the league based on this season. Vooch is ranked 22, Tobias Harris is 20, and Oladipo is 17. Brandon Jennings, Ervin Ilyasova, and Ross didn't make the list. https://www.theringer.com/nba/2018/12/6/18127965/top-25-nba-players-first-25ish-games Haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 Like I could understand if you were suggesting bringing in a cheap scoring backup to help organize the bench offense so we're not begging Ross to hit a jumper on every possession. Someone like Trey Burke. But you're not suggesting that type of guy. It'd be one thing if Grant was killing our spacing but it's been fine. Just a shooter doesn't make us better. It just creates a new weakness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 Basically I don't think the Grant problem is fixed by replacing him with a different point guard. I think we need to replace him with a better version of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ML6 520 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 Are L2M reports usually several days behind? Looks like they only have reports available through 12/4. EDIT: Nevermind, I'm dumb. I thought today was 12/7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 I wonder if we could trade Mozgov, the OKC pick, and Cleveland's second rounder for George Hill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit- By the downvote I see Mozgov has ONE fan that wants him to stay with the Magic LOL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,409 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 Keith Smith thinks Charlotte should blow up there roster. He states that they are projected to be 40 million over the cap next year. Five teams, including some early-season surprises, that need to blow it all up Kemba Hudley Walker, pack your bags. Your services are needed in Orlando!
