    Gary Payton has a higher rebound rate than Jerami Grant.

    Jus saying.

    It's an apples to oranges comparison. It isn't 1 to 1. If we flip Hart to upgrade another position then by all means, I'm in. Shaedon Sharpe gets minutes as well.

    Really don't think Hart is being moved. Who do you even trade him for?

    Time to offload a lot of these guards for Thybulle

    Defense would be *finally* average.

    Fez is stoked.

    a lineup with GP2 and Thybulle is unplayable in the playoffs

    Nah. GP2 can play. Perfect guard next to Simons or Dame.

    Just makes absolutely zero sense with how many guards we have.

    Did we just sign a two-way, barely ever played player 9.3 mil a season?

    So…. We’ve decided nba is a guard’s league and we’re building a roster of guards?

    not disagreeing, but if that’s the org’s belief, manage my expectations….

    He had a nice season last year. He is a defensive ace.

    I would have prefered Kyle Anderson by far. Buttt.....

    It wouldn't be an awful signing if we didn't have a bunch of guards already.

    9.3 mil for a guy who played less than 18 mpg last yr. do they really think his production is scalable?

    that too, without the defensive stalwarts he had next to him in GS?

    Hart is GP2’s ceiling. With Nurk not getting his chippers today, there has to be a deal being pondered.

    Thybulle in particular is strictly a specialist.

    The most disruptive defensive player in the NBA.

    When Curry is lighting up Dame you throw this duo at him.
