Its CP man... he can get to the midrange whenever he wants. If you take it away he finds someone. I have a hard time with his BS but damn do I respect the hell out of his game. If those teams are healthy I am not sure we beat either of them. I think the Suns actually might be a better matchup...

Lakers gonna end up in the play in again.

I think he could be a solid bench guy in the right situation but yeah this is rough for him. There are some teams that should consider acquiring him in one way or another. I think the issue is compounded because of their personnel.

LOLakers

Gary Payton can't be good though... there were multiple times when all 30 teams decided he wasn't an NBA player. I kid... I kid. I think the league has never been deeper and that there are guys out there that can help or who are better bets than Oni. Forrest to me is completely replaceable and...

Butler has struggled so I get why he isn't on the court but he did well in the preseason and deserved some time to get comfortable before moving on to Forrest. But if maximizing that 3-10 minutes is the priority then why not waive Oni and sign Galloway. Galloway can bring the ball up, play solid...

Dwayne Dedmon is another example... also its a move I would have considered in the offseason so some of the limitations you are placing aren't super fair. Would I have had Gary Payton in for a look... bet your sweet *** I would... have mentioned him before. If there wasn't anyone I liked I would...

A guy like Galloway could also likely be had on a 1+1 deal and while you may only need him in spot duty this year you get the option of keeping him for next year when you may need cheap production because Ingles is gone or JC was traded. Or you give Oni's guaranteed spot to Forrest or Fitts and...

Cousins gave the Clips a minor boost in the series with us... they figured out small ball was better but that was a minor addition. Denver got a lot of quality time from Rivers last year. Its the same logic folks use to say buy out guys don't matter. They have helped teams win in the past and...

I think so. I think Grant would have stayed if Denver beat the Detroit offer... Gordon was in a trade. Letting Grant walk was pretty rough... but no one would have guessed they'd have THIS many issues.

My issue with Forrest/Oni is as follows: - He's fine... are we going to rely on him in the playoffs. - If we are developing a guy why not have it be Butler who just has so much more upside. - If we are valuing a defensive stopper or "win-now" value... why not cut Oni and sign Dunn or...

Agree with most of this. I think a B-. If we had pulled out 2 of the 3 bad losses we've had this year I could raise the grade significantly. Rudy Gay and Whiteside seem to be great additions. Paschall is solid. Big plus there. This year is about getting ready for the playoffs... and I have...

I watched his guy sit in the paint... I think we think they are closing out to him because he is driving off of the kick out and not really looking to shoot at all. Turned it over once and I think he setup Rudy with a nice pass on another. I think his shot is too slow and he knows it... so...

I do think Rudy Gay has proved to be a meaningful addition. I think Donovan has been much better on defense. I don’t think I move Bogey unless the deal is awesome. He’s shown he can be a passable defender in the playoffs and has looked okay on that end at times. If they can swap JC for a good...

If he’s going to be out there then he needs to run the actions. Otherwise teams aren’t defending him and when they kick it out to him mostly bad things happen.
