    Gerald Green could help on the offensive end but he is a sieve defensively (so not dissimilar to Melo). Jeremy Lin ... ummm, no. We don’t need any more guards that can’t play a lick of defense.

    Any interest in Joe Johnson? Yes, yes I know he’s been retired for a couple of seasons but he’s fresh off a MVP award in the Big3 league and can likely play the 2 and 3 off the bench. Dude can still get buckets, there’s no doubt about that, and he brings some much needed size.

    I thought the replacement had to play in the league this season.

    “It was previously reported that only players who were signed to an NBA or G League contract this season were in the pool of eligible players. However, that's since changed to potentially including players who have been on an NBA or G League contract either this season or last. Players who are deemed ineligible to be signed at this time are international players.”

    This will not help us guard Lebron or Kawhi…..but I understand Ariza's priorities and think he's making a smart decision...does Jake Layman still have a job?

    Just to follow, he's probably not actually mad. He very cool about directly speaking if something actually bothers him. He's a good person.

    Add me to the chorus of "this sucks, but I have to respect Ariza's priorities". If he misses time, and the unlikely happens, can be join the playoff roster?
