    There it is. Not sure how I feel about this. Cautiously optimistic, since I was pretty worried about Ant/Dame guarding other guards.

    There has to be a trade incoming cause on it's own this signing makes NO sense outside the fact Payton can play Defense but he is a guard --

    How many guards / players under 6'4 does this team need ???

    Exactly. So stupid unless there’s a trade in the works.

    I’ll say there’s a 3-team deal (maybe a 4-team) involving Hart, Nas, KJ and Nurkic out..

    Ayton & Simmons in…

    kD goes to PHX

    Dame, Ant, and Hart were the only locks for playing time. Also remember that Billups considers the two and the three as the same in his system. Hart being a plus rebounder and generally playing bigger allows him to play more minutes at the three.

    Even if we do.....we can only bring in a player around 9.6M.

    We also left some room under our full TPE. This gives us the ability to sign Jabari Walker to a standard 3 year contract.

    Then we will waive Bledsoe and use the BAE on a big man. And our entire roster will be filled out.

    So are we doing the 3 guard lineup again? Or you optimistic when Dame or Ant is in the bench?
