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

Evergreen tweet!

 

Problem is 4 of those players don't want to be a back up.
At least Jordan Clarkson is an actual backup but even he played 26 mins a game last year. You would have to step on somebody to play the guy.

 

Goran would be huge. Moves the needle.

 

I think this is all Olshey making sure that his favorite players don't have competition for playing time. In this case, CJ and Simons

in Dame's 1st season, Eric Maynor averaged 21 minutes after a deadline trade. The next season, Mo Williams averaged 25 minutes. The season after, AARP member Steve Blake averaged 19 minutes

but then, Olshey was able to clear the roster and give CJ dual roles, and ever since, he's refused to get a good backup PG. I think it's because he knew Stotts would give that PG minutes that Olshey felt should go to CJ and lately, Simons (Bazz and Curry are not PG's)

Olshey did the same dumbass thing when he let Aminu walk. He cleared the roster of any competent PF except for his lottery prize, Zach. That's why we had to endure a PF rotation of Melo, Tolliver, & Hezonja.

 

He's Dallas-bound. Zoran's probably available, though...

 

Dante Exum and Frank Nkilitina are both available (some say for good reason), and they can both defend, at least. Also you can pair them with two smaller guards because they've got size. Also...

 

Read my statement again. Got nothing to do with what I think.
I agree with you and i also agree with @Chris Craig that Jordan Clarkson would be a good back up PG.

 

ET couldn't shoot. Cunningham can, which is a pretty big deal when it comes to fitting into varied lineups without mucking up your team's halfcourt offense. Ben Simmons is something of a wildly athletic ET and he's the superstar that's hardest to use optimally. He basically needs a Draymond Green situation--flanked by a couple of the greatest shooters ever.

 

Zach is gone and we are still waiting for a replacement big man. Olshey is: A) clueless about roster construction, B) indifferent, C) both.

In some respects he still acts as if he is working for Sterling.

 

Ok so why are we talking about Jordan Clarkson? Is this because this thread was bumped from last year?
Clarkson is not a free agent....and he is about as much a PG as Anthony Simons. He is a high-volume shooter off the bench.

 

My response remains the same as well.

 

Exactly! Now you figured it out. Great job!

 

I think we'll see Norm handling the ball with the bench mob a bit...we have a shit ton of 6'3 combo guards and an elite pt guard coaching....we don't need another guard...we need bigs and stretch 4s I wouldn't waste a roster spot on another guard but if we make a trade we could swap a 6'3 combo guard for a pt guard....I don't think teams are looking at pt guards and 2 guards differently any more...just guards and wings and bigs...positionless basketball.

 

There is a very very slim possibility that Olshey is: D) not done.

 

I should know better than to start reading an old thread that has 9 pages and comment on another comment made last year about dudes that have been in and out of the league and are on the last legs of their career.
It most certainly will never end well.
None of them. Absolutely none of the them are starters any longer. Though Dragic and Rondo can fill in rather well and could work and yes Clarkson would be interesting.
I hope that clears things up.
