    I’m actually of the opinion that Little is overrated a bit defensively, while being underrated offensively. He has one years experience of team concepts, and we know hes already had his struggles with it. Besides, defense isn’t usually a thing that translates immediately, regardless of ones reputation in college. There’s going to be an adjustment period, it’s inevitable. Guys like Collins who come in and defend are more of the exception. But he was coached up his entire life by his dad. He had a head start. Little will take some time. I’m down for dumping Harkless, but that’s why I think we should also sign a cheap vet like Sefolosha. Someone good enough to play, but not to the point where he’d get in Littles way once he’s ready to take over.

    With a bench of Neto, Exum, O’Neale, Niang, and Bradley? They lack depth.

    So lets give up a pick and take on $15M for next off-season to save $700K?

    And add two players that can actually play for this season and fill needs? Marvin Williams and Cody Zeller would be HUGE for our bench and spot starters.

    Marvin Willaims is aging and no better than Harkless. Zeller isnt any better than Collins or Meyers, and takes away all flexibility in 2020.

    Just no worth it. We need a legit upgrade to take on money for 2020.

    Us

    As for Utah, I doubt they let Favors walk. They wouldn't include him the the Conley trade.

    A couple career 10/5 guys doesn’t move the needle for me. I didn’t want Marvin 5 years ago, don’t want him know.

    Maybe, but as desperate as they allegedly are to get their payroll under control - they should be giving us a draft pick!

    Which of these teams would be interested in taking Moe or Meyers into their cap space?

    I agree with all except Brooklyn. I think they land both Irving and KD. Boston could be a team for Meyers.

    You’re not gonna get needle movers with ET, Hark, and a 20+ pick lol

    We need guys who can actually shoot 3s at the wing and we really need another decent big man.

    A 33 year old Williams and a guy who is worse than Nards doesn’t make us any better imo. I’d rather wait until the deadline and dangle those expiring for someone better.

    And the needle mover thing was a joke, I don’t use green font.

    How is Zeller worse than Meyers? That makes no sense at all.

    If they have the cap space to absorb him, why are they looking for expiring deals?
