    No harm in it: he's a GREAT lockerroom guy, hilarious, and can get you a triple double once every hundred games or so.

    I'd rather shave my head with a cheese grater while chewing on tin foil than watch ET in a Blazer uniform again

    What if he's sitting on the bench, cheering?

    that role should got to people like Gabriel or Hoard, not ET. No leaky retreads

    don't want ET, or Meyers, or Harkless, or Aldridge, or even Melo. Steve Blake would be ok though...:)

    Is everyone reading the full question. Vet minimum? For a tremendous locker room guy, veteran experience, some versatility? Not for starter mins, not for any mins really. You got Jared Dudley in this league for a reason. Guys like that matter. And ET is better than Dudley.

    To sit on the bench in case there were injuries......sure I am ok with that. He is a good teammate and a decent defender.
    But not to be in the rotation with a healthy roster. I want a more explosive TRUE PG backing up Dame. And I want better outside shooters on the wing.

    For veteran minimum? Yes, just because he’s also big enough to guard the elite wings. He could also probably help orchestrate the offense with the bench unit whenever CJ isn’t. If he could replicate his last year with us of 6.8/4.5/3.9 and will take a vet min? I mean...Hezonja’s worse...

    Premise is flawed. We have Stotts as our coach.

    I love me some ET. If he comes for the minimum it's a no brainer

    We need a backup point guard who can hit an open shot.

    ET never could do that.

    I would totally do it, especially if I was going to trade CJ, which of course I always want to do. ET can facilitate for the second unit and defend well. I would sign him with the BAE if that's what it took and no one better was available. At the vet minimum he can just sit in a little glass cabinet that we can break in case of emergency.

    I'm confused by the Yes votes.
    The appropriate strategy is to surround our 2 guys who can get their own shot with
    3 and D guys - not zero and D guys.

    Ditto for Melo - a 3 and zero guy.
