AD

Russell
Vandy
Schroder
Reaves
Bamba
Christie
Reed

Go get some vets that want to chase a ring. That team has a solid 7, you only need 2 good role players to go 9 deep and 5 more just to fill out the bench. Heck, they could bring Pippen and Swider in to be the 13th and 14th guys,

Schroder is unlikely to stay for a small raise over his $2.5M IMO, and I doubt they want to dip into their exceptions to keep him.

Give him the MLE. They need a player like him.

 

[DJ Fieri]

It may not be a matter of letting him, but he's likely to get more than a small raise over the vet min contract he signed.

Funny that you're letting him walk though, since he is also shooting over 37% from 3. 2nd highest percentage on the team (that actually gets minutes) behind Reaves. Not counting Reed and Christie and the departed Bryant. Man, next year Christie will be more in the mix too.....roles for Walker, Reed, and even Brown are going to be tough if they need to get Russell, Beasley, Reaves, Christie, and an undetermined backup PG minutes.

Beas ad Russell can shoot, not too mention Reaves.

TBJ is not worth keeping over guys like Schroder and Reaves. It is all about priorities. And the last 2 are, TBJ is not.

I'd rather upgrade to someone who can defend. They don't have enough of that at guard.

Or use that MLE to upgrade at backup SF

 

[shopson67]

If he turns down his player option with the Bucks (sub $3M), I like Jevon Carter as an option for backup PG. 3 and D.

Schroder has actually given is the defense we have needed....that Bev couldn't anymore. He has been surprisingly scrappy and good.

I think we can improve there still.

Maybe Ham likes TBJ's height for the backcourt?

TBJ plays SF with James out.

 

[Retroram52]

We are getting our asses handed to us by the Raptors who are in town tonight. And this from a team that is 32 and 35.

 

[Retroram52]

D'Angelo is back though.

 

[Retroram52]

Hachimura with a big three!

 

[Retroram52]

Schroeder in for Russell. Maybe that ankle is not quite healed.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakes are a comin'. The lead is down to 7.

 

[Retroram52]

What are ya doin' Schrooder??!!

 

[Retroram52]

Russell and TBJ are leading scorers so far.

 

[Retroram52]

The lead is still 7. The Lakers need to tighten the D and shut down the Raptors as AD has been eluding to recently.

 

[Retroram52]

Gabriel is in for TBJ. Now we need Bamba to get some power minutes on the inside.

 

[Retroram52]

Our 3-point percentage is stinkin' things up again.

 

[Retroram52]

Toronto is shooting 66.7% from the three stripe.
