    At this point in the season, the only reason we need a backup point guard is if Dame gets hurt. And if Dame gets hurt we are screwed regardless. So I hope he holds out for a defensive-minded PF. Someone who can at least attempt to guard LBJ or AD.....

    I'm betting he's going convert Blevins' contract to a regular contract & call it a day.

    OPJ would seem to fit that as well as anyone who might end up being available. ORL doesn't seem to want to buy him out though.

    I bet he wouldn't even sign here.

    The problem is we're married to Melo.

    I'm rooting for Cory Joseph and Maurice Harkless. We're screwed if Dame, CJ, or Nurk gets hurt, but they could help us weather the storm if anyone else goes down.

    I like it. Right body type for what I was thinking. An option against LBJ/AD and even Jokic (who spends so much time on the perimeter)

    Such a waste. Individual legacy over team. An inefficient chucker who can't defend. And I'm supposed to trust the GM and the Head Coach....I think Not.

    I'm starting to think that we'll end up bringing in some G League all star, which could be a good thing if we can find the next Duncan Robinson.

    I only say this because I can't find a good player left on the buyout market. Am I missing someone?

    I noticed he just suited up for the last game since being out. Id like to see him play at 4 when we need a tall defender there. If he's healthy?

    Giles played the whole 4th quarter against the Mavs in the blowout loss last week.

    We don't trade for the best players and we don't sign the best free agents, so there's no reason to think we'll be adding the best buyout player.

    I'm telling you all right now... Olshey is going to convert Blevin's contract and call it a day.
    The team you see right now is what we're going into the play-in games with.
