    Apparently he’s not re-signing with Heat. Are we interested for the right price?

    Couldn't think of a worse type of player for us to target than a short guard who wants lots of shots and plays shitty D.

    He hasn't been the same since that quad /knee injury. But at a minimum price, would be nice coming of the bench with Hart.

    where did this no defense narrative come from? did no one watch the boston series?

    he is a former all nba defender. granted, he's lost a step, but he's an interesting target as an on ball defender. Doesn't make sense for our guard heavy roster, but he's good.

    Uh....no! It would take away time from Shaedon. Since we aren't a contender, give the rook minutes.

    He's worthy of neither a roster spot nor a thread.

    If he wants to come in as a vet min backup, then sure.

    he was all nba defense 1st team in 2018, while leading the league in steals. don't you like to clown people who don't watch other NBA teams?

    So we'll just delete the insults, put the original post as the quote for the post-insult reply, and voila--the forum looks like it should!

    I think we're pretty stacked with perimeter players at his production level. I'll pass.

    17-18 or 18-19? Either way 3-4 years can make a huge difference, no?

    Vet min maybe.

    He doesn't really match what Chauncey is trying to do. Gotta stay true to the vision.

    HCP makes more sense on this roster than Oladipo....

    And that's not to give any sort of positive comment or compliment in any way to HCP...

    FAMS!

    How about a thread about interest in players ABOVE 6’ 5”?

    One just need a quick review of the roster to answer this one.

    Hard pass unless its a vet min.

    Yeah Oladipo is an excellent defender. Not sure why people say he’s not
