Will we have to wait for Olshey to leave before we get a backup PG?

Really limited sample size... logged under 12 minutes per game in 43 games. So those numbers don't mean anything. There is a reason the Bulls cut his minutes this season and didn't give him a qualifying offer. Those are my views.

 

Since we are in the middle of a busy trade season in a shortened period and about to start FA, I am thinking everyone is "available", especially since we are talking about backups. Do you just want a list of every backup? Whether its a higher end backup - Bledsoe, Beverly, Bradley, or whatever, they are out there. Trey Burke, Quinn Cook (just waived), Yogi Ferrell, Tim Frazier again, George Hill was just traded, maybe a guy like Cory Joseph, point is, there are players out there whose job is literally to be a backup PG and thats all they will ever do. Not hard. Instead we have CJ and Anfernee and thats not working.

 

I doubt we can afford him, but Shaq Harrison sounds like the cut-rate version.

 

Too expensive. Also not good.

Too old. Too divisive. Also wouldn't want to come here.

Absolutely not a PG.

Hm. Kind of intriguing, and sort of fits the "Baby Dame" model that Olshey seems to like (Shabazz Napier, e.g.). One wonders if his performance with the Mavs earned him a big bump in pay.

Has the Lakers stink on him.

Possible. Love the name. A bit bleh though.

God help us.
I would argue that the last three are not as good as Jaylen Adams.

George Hill earns $10M this year, Cory Joseph, whom I would like, earns a ridiculous $12.6M

 

nah...I had that whole convo sitting down

 

Is rather play Trent more than a washed up vet PG, and I'd rather spend money on positions of real need than one for 12 minutes a game when we'd be just fine running C.J. as our backup PG.

 

The other thing is that signing this supposed big time backup PG doesn't mean Stotts is going to play him instead of the three guard rotation that I'm quite sure he is excited to play.

 

I think we've discovered Olshey's burner account. Or possibly Stotts'.

 

Ky Bowman

 

If @BonesJones is Terry Stotts burner account, that would be the most epic pump fake of all time!

 

It's kind of a Smeagol/Gollum deal

 

Serious question: is Jaylen Adams still under contract? Is he supposed to be coming back?

 

Doesn't Kanter play point guard?

 

This is just greedy! Now they have TWO of the best backup PGs in the league:


Exactly! If Morris is leaving, please let him be coming here

 

I would like to have George Hill, despite his salary. Maybe we can trade Derek Jones Jr. for him in a couple of months...

 

It looks to me like we are rolling with CJ as the backup PG, Simons as third string.

We probably leave the 15th spot open in case its needed during the season. Maybe we sign a PG on a two way for practices or an emergency couple games? If we have a PG injury beyond a few games we probably need to sign someone or trade for one at that time.

With the depth we added at other positions I think I'm fine skipping a PG. I want to see how the current roster plays. This means guys like Trent/Hood may play SG. We can't really bring in a PG that is guaranteed minutes, so what free agent would be ok with DNP, would be ok as DameCJ backup, but would be good enough to help the team if needed? They are opposite requirements.

I do agree that passing could be a concern with this team, I guess we will see in a month's time.

 

When will we sign a PG?

Jeremy Lin is still available.
