    So in your dream, the league raised the tax apron to 150M and did away with BYC restrictions on S&T's?

    Why exactly are we getting a guy who wouldn't play coming off the bench and has proven to be a bad teammate?

    If you are talking about IT? Then the answer is pretty because he gets rid of Meyers....

    That answer was supposed to say "Pretty Obvious" ....
    Pretty obvious because he was getting rid of Meyers. Yes that would be Yay!. Then they could trade IT for maybe a draft pic of two?

    but IT is unrestricted and can sign anywhere he wants and lakers value cap space and wouldn't want to take on Leonards contract. The OP's ideas are what you might find in a fantasy league, but not in reality. Turner and second round picks for one of the top players in the NBA? wow.

    Nothing? Yes, he had a bad year this season, but last season, he led the Celtics to the ECF while dealing with the death of his sister and was a Top 5 MVP candidate. If he gets healthy, he's much better than Napier. And if Dame or CJ ever have to miss time, he is a great guy to have in reserve. IF he's healthy.

    What is wrong with being a system guy? He wasn't a bad teammate in Boston. He was dealing with the death of his sister but kept playing with his teammates. Why does his couple weeks in Cleveland change that? Besides, it's all hearsay. How do you know he was a bad teammate?

    lol. The bolded part is funny because the answer is so obvious.

    It is all hearsay, of course. I still don't want him here.

    Sorry that you don't like that answer. Sucks when people have different opinions, but you'll be okay.

    Anyway, moving on. Hope you are having a great day!

    Outside of the PG spot we have no one that could even adaquately handle the ball or create their own shot.

    Turner and Shabazz can kind of do so.

    Replacing Bazz with Baldwin, CJ with Bridges, Harkless with Covington, and Pat with Ellington doesn't improve our shooting.

    Disagree.

    Increased volume from all 3 plus Ellington's shooting gravity make would make up for any loss in % with swapping out Bazz and CJ.
