    I'm very encouraged by the effort Dame is putting in on the defensive side of the ball. He's improved immensely thus far this year.

    TBpup has brought up some very valid arguments. With how ball dominant both Dame & CJ are (and even ET), the other role players really don't get rewarded with many opportunities. It's the PG's job to seek out other players and reward them - but it doesn't happen much.... I also believe it's generally up to the player to MAKE those opportunities (which is why Nurk gets gets 12 attempts and Chief gets 7 attempts per game).

    My biggest complaint thus far has been the extraordinarily poor decisions both Dame & CJ are making in crunch time. Last night we were up 6 with the ball, and we turned the ball over twice on very sloppy plays.

    Situations like that is where you see the big difference between teams coached by ordinary coaches and extraordinary coaches. It all comes down to the 'little things'.....they matter. I just haven't seen any evidence from Stotts to make me think he values the 'little things'.

    Allowing your star player to think a 30+ foot shot with over 10 seconds left on the shot is a little thing (especially when there have been no passes on offense yet). I've seen those shots turn the tide of a game, not in our favor, more frequently than they have they have helped. Again, it's a little thing - but it adds up and makes a BIG difference at the end of the game.

    Yeah. He'd be great as a starting SF and he's only making $6M a year. Say that BKN pick turns into Bagley.

    Lillard/Crowder/Bagley/Nurkic. Going into next off-season, that group would only count ~$43M against the cap.

    Why? Parker was good offensively when he played. Middleton is a very good shooting guard who can also play small forward and plays defense.

    For those of us who know this backcourt won’t work long term this is a worthwhile thread. That being said some of these are crazy.

    There is nothing we could give to get Anthony Davis.

    With how many different topics you brought up.
    I see no reason why I should take this post seriously.

    I wouldn't. The backcourt is set. The problem is at SF. Harkless IMO is a 6th man on a playoff team.

    We need an upgrade here. A legitimate third-option.

    Nurk is our 3rd option.

    Or Giannis.

    Wiggins is a decent suggestion I have seen elsewhere, as long as we also get additional piece in the deal. Don't see who that would be looking at Timberwolves roster.

    Actually Drummond and Bradley would be tempting, as long as we could land Bradley on a longer deal. Or maybe include Tobias Harris somehow (instead of Drummond?).

    You also thought Gianiss was available for CJ... and you say WE overvalue our players?

    What if New Orleans doesn't think it can re-sign Boogie? Has he rehabilitated his reputation enough?

    There isn't many legitimate 3rd options at SF or PF that could be had. The only legit guys that could possibly move at some point this season is:
    Evan Fournier, ORL
    Harrison Barnes, DAL
    Tobias Harris, DET

    At PF:
    James Johnson, MIA
    Thaddeus Young, IND
    Jabari Parker, MIL

    Problem is, we don't have the pieces to acquire any of them without giving up one of our big three, or they're not worth it.
