    PG to me is the perfect Robin, a Great 2nd best player on any team. A Top 15-20 player in the league. He reminds me of a Scottie Pippen type, Great Defensively and a Good Scorer but not a guy that can lead a team to a Championship being the best player. He can thrive playing with RW, he would've thrived playing with someone like Kobe too because PG isn't ball dominant. He would've won Championships playing with Kobe or Jordan as a Robin. 

    This is my thoughts exactly.

     

    He also showed me, that he knows that to be the case(he isn't a number 1 guy). That's at least respectable.  

     

    He is fine with letting Russ do his thing, so he doesn't have to take as much blame when things don't go right.

     

    This is the same guy that passed the ball to CJ Miles(who missed shot) with 5 seconds then asked why he didn't pass it back to him. Like he wanted the shot, if you want the shot you don't pass the ball with 5 seconds to go. Knowing if Miles would of made shot he would of been like "I was unselfish and made the right play"

     

    That's not what happened, and he called out his teammate for doing what he is suppose to(trying to score because his so called "1 guy" just passed it to him instead of took the shot. He was afraid to miss it.

     

    Anyway, sorry for the little rant. As you can tell I'm not a fan. I'm happy with the trade for sure.

     

    I do think Paul is a good number 2 guy. I would take Scottie though.

    We released Jefferson, saving $6m.

     

    https://hoopshype.com/rumor/1193171/

     

    Keith Smith: Sources: The Indiana Pacers have waived veteran big man Al Jefferson. Cap hit of $4 million. Could be stretched.

     

    – viaTwitter

     

    So, not sure of the exact figure, but that should get us up around $11-$12m in space. 

     

    Still a lot more than most teams. I think we probably sign 3 more guys.

    2 to fill up cap and one exception.

     

    Going to be interesting

    McDermott is deadly from 3, he will be a solid backup to Bogey. They are similar players. In today's league you cant go wrong with 3 point shooters. More the merrier. He also is only 26 and a Good Chemistry player. Biggest surprise was PG signing a 4 yr deal with OKC, Lakers struck out on that one. 

    Definitely like bringing Doug in, like you said great 3pt shooter, great chemistry guy. I think his D is better than most think, great basketball IQ as well.

     

    Can back up thw 2 or 3, depending on who else we bring in.

     

    Really hope we can bring in TJ Warren, he should be on the block with the Ariza signing and having Josh Jackson.

    Ok, I know its been done by someone, but now that FA is amongst us. I want to look at this depth chart and see what us out there.

     

    PG - Collison, Joseph, Holiday, Sumner

    SG - Oladipo, McDermott(can play back up 2 or 3)

    SF - Bogdonavich, Alize Johnson

    PF - Young, Leaf, Poythress

    C - Turner, Sabonis, Jefferson, Anigbogu

     

    FA's(own):

    Stephenson(hopefully he signs back again)

    Young (wont be back)

    GR3 (would like to keep if price is right)

    Booker(see GR3)

     

    After Doug signing, look to have somewhere around $5-$6m left. Still can free up some I believe?(Jefferson?)

     

    We have both a room/ and bi annual exception. Can use one or the other.

     

    We are deep at PG, C.

     

    We have little depth on the wing, need to bring in/retain multiple players. 

     

    I just feel like there will have to be a trade somewhere to even out roster.

     

    Either:

    Collison and Jefferson

    Or

    Joseph and Jefferson

     

    Wouldn't be all that surprised if thad was moved?

     

    Trade options on the wing? 

    And 

    FA targets in our cap range?

     

    Who do you guys got?

     

    Few options:

    Trade:

    TJ Warren(PHX signed Ariza and need a PG)

    Wilson Chandler(Denver trying to shed salary and would attach asset to him)

    Justise Winslow

    Courtney Lee

    Mo Harkless

    Andrew Wiggins

     

    FA options:

    Ellington

    Afflalo

     

    What do you guys think?

     

    I believe we will bring GR3 back, hopefully Lance and Booker.

     

    I think the Pacers thought Thad was opting out, so they freed up Lances money. Think they wouldn't of done that if they had a do over, so hopefully they bring him back.

    So after everything that's happened, we have around $12-$14m remaining.

     

    We can add up to another $10m if we dump Jefferson and Collison.

     

    Doubt Collison goes any where, but so could see us dumping Jefferson and getting that unguaranteed money back. Getting us in the $20m range.

     

    We could do a bunch of damage with that kind of loot. There isnt much cash to go around. 

     

    I'm ready for some action.
