The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[DJ Fieri]

Nobody said he would turn into a great shooter on the Lakers but if he can make 35-37% That would be fine.

Main reason to add him is he is another solid ballhandler and guy who can score 10-12ppg if he gets enough PT with Ham.....we shall see.

 

[DJ Fieri]

agreed

I guess they could get by with a small lineup at times. Dinwiddie can guard a lot of 3s.

Yeah, he should be in the closing lineup of close games IMO. Along with Russ, Reaves, Bron and AD.

But bring him off the bench to start games.

What about Gabe?

Do you expect this to be a lost season for him?

Y’all gotta stop picking up those Heat reclamation projects.

As for Spencer, he hasn’t always been on dogshit teams.

Yet, his career shooting numbers are 41% from the field and 33% from 3.

He is who he is.

Vincent has only been available for 5 games and there doesn't seem to be any timeline on his return.

Not worried about Dinwiddies scoring, he's a good ballhandler and, at least in that respect, is good insurance if D-Lo falters in a playoff series like he did vs Denver.

They are re-evaluating him at the end of Feb.

However, it would not be horrible for him to "redshirt this season" though and make sure the knee is healthy for a go next season. Knee injuries can derail a career.

eh

when JV is healthy I'd rather he was there if it was me.

LOL.

Not going to argue about 33% vs 33.5%

He’s been a mediocre 3 pt shooter 8 of his 11 seasons

He quoted me and I went to respond.....it was no longer there.....

LOL.

how dare you rob dinwiddie of his half percent

And you did not respond to the open looks=equal better chance of making them.

He was not getting those since he returned to the Nets.

Yeah I actually don’t think they should ever use reaves, dlo, and Spencer on the court at the same time ever. They aren’t off the ball players so someone will feel left out

I mentioned that since yesterday

Or respond to the basketball 101? Open looks are better shots and easier to convert than guarded shots.

It is like people are being intentionally obtuse.

 

[bksballer89]

He also not going to be playing starter minutes anymore either

 

[fightinfunbags]

Congrats on not losing to the Wizards, @fightinfunbags.

I’ll take it! They had lost 8 of last 9. Hield is going to be nice playing with Embiid. He does a little more than I had given him credit for.

As stated before I mentioned that since yesterday. @trojanfan12 can confirm because he responded to my comment about that

Will be the 6th man and probably 25mpg or so.

If Ham uses him right, that can never be assumed though.

He can pass and rebound in addition to shoot and score. Not a great defender, but I would say average.

I wanted him to help our shooting for the last few seasons.

He is not going to shoot 5 pts better just because he went to the Lakers. The lakers only have 5 less losses than the nets
