He was an elite 3/D guy with the size to defend Lebron, Melo and Durant. He might have overall just been solid but his impact was much greater than his abilities and that's what we are now missing.

Triple Facts. Maybe Kyle could start for Cleveland but that's about it. Bazemore is not a starting for contending teams. He's like Covington, you start him when you ain't shyt. He can stat pad and make everyone talk about him in trade boards but in reality, he's not that good.

True. LAC denied Korver getting the ball,but Teague should've had the ball with a chance to create. And I agree with you, Millsap shouldn't get the ball trying to be a superstar but for this team, he's our star. He's our marquee guy. Ideally, he's the #3 guy on a championship team, he shouldn't get the ball twice in crunch time and try to win games, that's just not fair to him and how he plays
True. And Baze has played well, but he's a high energy bench guy who can come in and give you 10-15 a night. He's stretched a little thin guarding SF's bigger and stronger than him on a nightly basis, but he's not really a starter. Kyle, even tho he is playing better recently, is not a starting SG anymore.
It just makes you wonder why we traded our draft pick...I thought he was here to score, kinda like Jamal Crawford was or Lou Williams was for a few years ago. Not great defensively but could put the ball in the basket. I don't want THJR to be a defensive stopper b/c that's not his game and he's not helping us right now
We need to make some moves, I just don't think Teague or Dennis is the move to make. There has to be a way we can add a wing who can be good for us without trading someone important.My night has been ruined. Was gonna fukk the hell outta my chick thinking we were gonna get a W, now I'm gonna go straight to sleep
We're all level headed fans for the most part. So at this juncture, with roster uncertainty, poor play from key players, and not a title contender, who do y'all think we should acquire/move to improve the team?
He is without a doubt the best player on this team, but lets face it, he cant create his own shot. He can do everything else you need, but thats his flaw. There have been several times that Bud has forced the ball to him at the end of the game this season and i dont think it has worked once

Seeing how Dennis has played this season makes me nervous about trading Jeff...say what you want about Jeff, but when he's on and playing well he's an All Star PG. Dennis has stretches where I'm not sure if he cares about the rest of the team or getting guys involved. So I'm not sure you trade Jeff unless you get a starting SG/SF back. NYK doesn't have that so I'm not sure why we're talking to them
IDK. Maybe Joe Johnson gets a buyout and comes home. Maybe we make a trade for Rudy Gay. If we think we're beating CLE with Kent Bazemore on him they're crazy
The worst of Dennis is way worse than bad Jeff but Jeff don't give you what Dennis gives you when he's on. When Dennis is on. He's unstoppable.
If we can get someone like Gay for Splitter, that would be perfect. We need to look at trading picks + Splitter for a SF like Rudy Gay

When Dennis is on he changes the pace and dynamic of the game. He forces tempo and his energy level is super high. But I don't know how sustainable that is or how committed Dennis is to being that type of PG consistently.
I'm down to trade Jeff, but it's gotta be the right mix of guys we get back. Otherwise it's Dennis & Shelvin Mack as your PGs

Speaking of Korver, Curry is about to shatter his three point record

We're not the type of team that's goin to attract big free agents that's already been established. And maximizing the talent of a bunch of good player can get us to the conference championship but that's about it. In order to elevate us to a champion franchise we have to draft a superstar. Look at Golden state and OKC they did it thru the draft. We just been committed to making the playoffs and that's it

I say trade Splitter for a SF and throw Tavares in the fire as the backup Center.
