You can get any stops all game and you bench Ausar for majority of second half?
Hopefully Hardaway injury isn’t too serious

They not there yet. Dropping games against the wizards and mavs is a no no. We locked in at 6

Mavs were hunting Beasley out. Dinwiddie should not light your tram up.
This game prime example of why i look at people crazy about us not needing a Booker. Someone other than Cade needs to be able to score at a high level. Cade workload is way too high

I agree that we need another quality scorer, but I don't like the idea of what it would take to probably get somebody like Booker. If you can get him for a few picks without giving away the guys that makes our defense what it is then cool. But I don't want to see them gut the team and what has got our identity back just to become a perimeter oriented finesse squad.

Im telling yall it will not end well for dude long term trying to make him one of these high usage guys like that, not saying Booker is the guy but he can run the point as well/can operate in the mid range. Another cat that can score and distribute is paramount.

Are yall going to resign Beasley? Hes having a great year and been clutch for yall? I know he has a player option and will look to cash out but that shouldn’t cost too much. Probabaly around 20 million which is almost mle.
I hold the same opinion about Booker which is why I hope yall go after him. I don’t mind the trades but Booker will cap the franchise of whoever he goes to. So whoever gets him, he better be the final piece to the puzzle because he’s up for an extension soon and that will be 60 million aav.
I see Booker as a Robin. Like Kyrie

Beasely and Ivey been lights out this year. Adding a confident shooter like Booker could push em over that 6th seed for goodYes I agree. Go get Booker.
I hope they do resign Beasley. He's a perfect fit for what he brings and at our around mle I think he's very much with it. Plus he loves it here and brings an attitude too the team that I think is culture raising.
Regarding Booker, I know he'd provide some great scoring help, but would it be worth it if we have to include somebody like Ausar in that kind of package to get him. I personally don't think so for an average size guard that isn't a plus defender. I know Cade needs some help on the offensive side, a reliable scorer and I'm onboard with that, but it would depend on what Phoenix is asking for in a package to get him. If it's too high I'd rather roll with Ivey, demote THJ to the bench or use him as a trade piece and see how that looks for half a season with the internal growth. We have a lot of guys on the team that are very early in their development, and if one or a few of them take a leap then that could put the team on another tier. If any one of Ausar, Duren, Ivey, or Holland make a significant jump them that probably puts us solidly as a top 4 team in the east. I don't think it's time to push all the chips into the center of the table unless an offer that can't be refused is presented.

Houston can get booker without breaking up their roster because they got phoenix picks. Pistons would have to give up a motherload.

Hollands potential. A two way menace
