    Rivers would be a great fit for us. Is scrappy and has the experience we need over Simons. Do we have the cap or offer to make a play for Rivers?

    Rivers isn't much of a PG but he did play for a minimum last season

    Some more: "A bevy of advanced metrics, though derived from a tiny sample size, back up Shaq’s impact. ESPN’s Defensive Real Plus-Minus rated him third among point guards in 2019-20, one spot behind Kris Dunn and two ahead of Chris Paul. If you toggle the minutes minimum down to 479, Five Thirty Eight rates him second among point guards in defensive RAPTOR, and fifth in overall RAPTOR (don’t trust everything you read on the internet, kids). The Bulls were 11.6 points per 100 possessions better in 2019-20 with Shaq on the floor than off (10.3 points per 100 better defensively,"

    Hey, I’m a total mercenary so I’ll proudly wear the piss and purple, sit back on the bench and watch the games for a minimum contract. Mrs. HCP will miss me though . Think she’d like to be a Laker Girl?

    I remember hearing that Doc used to tell Austin to watch videos of BRoy to learn his game back when he was in HS.

    Sounds like transactions are becoming official as teams work through finalizing them with the NBA office throughout today...

    Unless I’m missing something we’ve got 13 guys under contract. Still gotta deal with Gabriel and Ellebe, assuming Gabriel got a qualifying offer. I can’t believe we’re about to go into another season relying on Simons for minutes.

    It's not happening. They're going to play CJ at point so Gary gets more minutes.

    I'd also imagine it's kind of hard luring PG free agents here since they know their upside is limited. No matter how well they play, they're still going to be playing behind Dame.
