    He's revered as a great shooter sure, but as a player? At his best he was an effective role player on offense spreading the court with his deep ball threat but always a liability on D. He made a big shot for the Bulls winning a championship, which he's remembered for, but he's no more revered then Hodges or John Paxton.

    Liability on D? Where’d you get that from? He was a great defender, even when he played for us.

    It's a dumb thing to do any time.

    Agree on the rest.

    If we get GP2, that allows us to trade Ant for KD.

    Why does it need to be shared here? Do you want your medical info shared here publicly?

    We need a center and a wing...not sure why we'd target a 2 guard unless we're trading some guards

    Either way, I'm coming around to the idea that GP2/Brown will be the guy that guards opposing point guards. This is so Dame/Ant don't have to chase around Steph or Ja all night. This all but relegates Hart to primarily defending SFs though, which I think he could do. But again we're now putting players into positions that don't maximize their strengths....

    Those that wanted Thybulle....Brown/GP2 fills the same type of defense only role that Thybulle would have on this team.

    Yes.

    I’ll reference you to heat stroke thread and J pouch threads in the OT section.

    If we don't get GP2/Brown....we're gonna target Cody/Caleb Martin after that. So might as well get GP2.

    Marang wants everything he does shared publicly...it's why he tweeted it...last few times I've listened to him he's had allergies, surgeries and pain killer complaints...I only know this because Danny makes all that very public. Reminds me of my late father in law...loved to talk about health issues all the time. Would ask me to take him to the doctor almost daily just so he could chat with other patients about their issues and compare his. He's no Norm McDonald about that stuff

    you have (or had) a colostomy bag, no?

    (not being a dick and I’ll happily remove this post if I’m incorrect and/or you don’t care to share - but you don’t want people knowing your medical shit, right? I know I don’t for many reasons.)

    He literally just tweeted his medical info to the world at large.

    Why didn't we offer this same deal to Kyle Anderson?

    Yeah I suspect Hart and or Sharpe will be dealt. Positionally you would think for a forward.

    Then sign center for vet min.

    I really hope Sharpe isn't traded. I feel like him becoming a star is basically the only chance this team has to contend, even if that's a long shot chance.
