    This camera view for the Orlando SL is almost unwatchable. I hope Vegas doesn't do the same angle.

    I would bring Bledsoe off the bench at both guard positions. He would be the perfect sparkplug.

    Dame
    CJ
    Turner
    Aminu
    Nurk

    With the rest of the rotation:
    Bledsoe
    Dudley
    Davis
    Chandler

    Try to get some minutes for Collins, Swanigan, and Connaughton. Maybe move Davis so you have minutes for Collins.

    RipCityDSCPL Could be worse, at least it's not Lonzo.

    Yeah, Redick is a player who flourishes as a decoy out there. I don't see the 76er's having enough legit scorers in the lineup, even with Fultz and Simmons, for Redick to flourish.

    He saw the money and realized that the Clippers are now Austin Rivers team. So he bounced.

    I prefer Crabbe as just a basketball player. Which is crazy, because I was really high on Oladipo coming out of college. But when you tie in contracts, I'd much rather have Oladipo. Especially if you plan on getting out in transition.

    Second round? 2020? Or would it take a first round? Could we trade either of our Trade Exceptions to them?

    True, it would be hard to find minutes for him.... Dame and CJ average around 35-36 minutes, which would leave only about 24-26 minutes for Bledsoe.

    How about this?

    Millsap reportedly coming down to either Denver or Atlanta.

    If he goes to Denver, our whole division would get a major face lift this offseason.

    Not the same thing. If he views himself as a starter in the league, he may not be happy coming off the bench, regardless of the minutes.

    Well we could have a makeover if Collins/Swanigan show up.

    Are we done? Are we going into next year with Swanigan and Collins replacing Quarterman and Ezeli and that's it? Fuck.
