I hope he wins summer league mvp, giving GS a false sense of security to the point they give him a contract.

I hope he goes back to China to be a star again. I want to watch him over there. Maybe challenge him to a game, lol.

If he goes to GS, knowing them, they will get the most out of him and he will be a knockdown shooter for them.

If he signs for that little ill be a little grumpy. Jazz would have enough room to sign him and really make some other good moves. Oh, well. Conley is better this year. Although I am not sure DLo plus other players we could have signed and players wouldnt be better than Conley. Although DLo might still choose to play with Lebron and the Lakers over us.

How quickly will LeBron want to trade DLo? If that is their last non-minimum player they add I am not scared of the Lakers.

Russell + Mitchell = an recurring inefficiency nightmare.

Conley + Mitchell = some semblance of efficiency that is far more stable.

I think its safe to assume with better spacing and internal growth as the players grow and learn Mitchell and DLo would get more efficient. Conley shot 43.8% last year and DLo shot 43.4%. Not that big of difference. Mike did get to the FT line more but his TS% is only .3% better. Plus Russell had slightly more assists. Neither is great at finishing at the rim both were 55% but DLo was .04% better. The only difference is that Conley was a better defender. But I would rather have the cheaper much younger player who showed decent defense in the playoffs and I think he has the length and height to be a decent defender, especially in our system.

On top of that we would have an extra 12 million to do something with.

But its a moot point since we went with the guaranteed route instead of taking a chance on signing someone else. I think that was a smart choice. We would be screwed if we didnt trade for Conley and didnt get Harris or DLo.
 
Yeah, its a slight upgrade for Portland since Bazemore can shoot the 3 and it slightly saves more for Atlanta next year where the player doesnt matter since they are still tanking. Decent move for both teams but pretty meh.

I like him for Portland a lot more than Turner... it is meh... I guess Atlanta saved a little dough.

That’s a pretty ****ing potent 3-players, dude. If Russell is your best player, you’re not going to be very good, but I think the fit is near-perfect if he were to go to the Lakers.

Honestly, I’m most curious how all of this impacts Caruso cuz I very seriously want him here.
