McClung is another good signing and if they cut Anthony or buy-out Westbrook, he'll be good for a full contract for next year.
I'm sure they'll wait a bit for him to prove himself with the team, just like the others (Reaves, Gabriel).

Rumors of Indy willing to do Hield and Brogdon for RW. willing to toss in a 1st but not 2.

Indy in full rebuild mode.

Fuck it.

McClung will be cheap and he can be a 12th man type. End of bench. Think he can develop into a rotation player long term.

It costs you at least 1 first judt to dump rw

Getting players who aren’t worthless back makes it a reasonable price

You really want to throw away brons last seaosn for gambled picks?

When AD, James, and Westbrook and maybe even Anthony are not around this team plays as a team. They play better defense and everyone scores evenly. It really is time to move all three and maybe even Anthony as well. Talk of buying-out Westbrook should also include entertaining trades for James and AD and cutting Anthony. The box score is evident of how the team plays as one and hopefully they'll do it again Sunday against the Nuggies.

WTF did Melo do wrong?

He and Monk were the 2 best pickups last off-season. Melo can still be a quality backup. He a sniper

2 picks isn't worth it. 1? Yes.

He doesn't play ANY defense. He really can't because he is old and is too slow. His shooting is very good. The same can be said about the James. He doesn't play much defense but his shooting is pretty good as you put it.

We need players at minimum. You aren't getting a great player at minimum.

Enjoy the 2023 lottery then
Indy can't be greedy if they wanna unload players they ain't getting much for. Brogdon and Hield aren't in demand players. Brogdon injury prone. And Hield fits the Lakers better than other teams.

He makes teams worse..I had a debate a few years ago without a friend about that.. After about ten or more games, Houston traded him and started playing better ..The debate was then over

He could DJ, but as has already been mentioned and there is plenty of evidence to corroborate the statement, Anthony makes teams worse. He is a locker room cancer, he doesn't play defense, and he has a tendency to not take directions from coaches and in the long term contributes to getting them fired or they move his ass out the door! Example: The Lakers and Frank Vogel.

We don't need great players right now. We need good solid players who are cheap, play hard every night and play defense the entire game, can be developed into very good and great players, and want to play as a team. Right now we have a few players like that. Gabriel, Johnson, Reeves, and I'd bet McClung will be that as well.

You think the Phoenix Suns have a lot of super stars on that that roster? Maybe one. Devin Booker is now a great player who the Suns took and developed into one. He can now score 50 points if he wants but he plays defense and he is damn good as is the rest of the team.

In all likelihood, they'll win the championship this year because they have developed a team into good to great players who play as a team and they play defense.

Ayton and Bridges are pretty damn good.
