Like, we outlet to Gordon, he takes a tough layup with 21 on the clock, misses, and gets his own rebound. Defense is back now so he decides to dribble out. We're at 14 seconds now, right? I assume they're treating it like fouls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see it as a possibility at all as fragile as Isaac has been so far. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Eyes On Me 1,181 Report post Posted October 16, 2018 Random thought. What if we swung a deal for Patrick Beverley? Little older, but expiring contract and one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA. I think we could get him for relatively cheap too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little older, but expiring contract and one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA. I think we could get him for relatively cheap too. I was thinking about that but I'm not sure here's worth sending an asset out. He's not really a good passer so you're basically getting a Grant-Augustin hybrid which is nice but, like, what does that really mean for our team? 3 more wins? I don't think we should give up anything for marginal short term improvement that doesn't really give us something new. If we were talking someone like Rubio or Teague or Russell or something, that makes sense (a passer or a more dynamic scorer). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
