That we were elite defensively while they were on the team. Yep, thats true.
And neto, ricky, niang, grayson, crowder, are not really that good defensively.

Fact is that some players are not very good at defensive but if they are great offensively they are still very important.

That harden player actually is quite valueable but not a good defender. Curry too.

Ricky is really good most nights... has some tough outings here and there. He’s not like a lockdown guy so it’s tough to see but he’s very beneficial on that end.

If we can cover for JJ we can cover for anyone... he had zero interest in playing defense.
 
I think we have a high likelihood... say 50% or more... of being involved in something. There aren’t a lot of teams that can provide the salary cap expirings to facilitate deals like we can. These big deals will need helpers.

Udoh/thabo/Niang... Neto if a team needs a solid backup pg could be on the table for some smaller deals to get teams away from the tax.

Like if Memphis swapped Temple for Thabo... something like that... saves them some money and gives us something we want. Not saying that is something we want... just an example.
 
You guys haven’t watched many other teams if you think Rubio and Crowder are bad defensively.

Being an plus defender most of the time comes down to effort and basketball IQ (right place right time).

Look at Korver, he gets destroyed 1v1 but as a team defender he isn’t all that bad since he is active, knows how and when to help and where he needs to be.

If we got Conley and Otto, I think we can beat anybody.

Favors, Thabo and a 1st for Porter
Rubio and Exum for Conley

And we might even get lucky and find a good buy out player or two with our 2 extra roster spots.

I think Crowder is good, but not as good as he used to be... Some over-rate him... I would not say he is bad though.

I think we can throw a bad defender into a lineup and cover it up with our team full of good defenders..... in fact i have seen us do it before. We have had bad defenders on this team and looked great. You yourself have been bashing ricky defense a lot. We have looked elite defensively, number one in the league in fact, with that poor defender starting and playing big minutes because we have a ******** of good defenders. You can totally add a great offensive player who sucks on defense to a team that desperately needs offense and is full of great defenders and be successful. Im certain of it.

You can be successful. My question is not whether we can be successful. It's whether it improves us and if so how much does it. Are we 35 million better? Are there better options?

I think there are better options and he isn't worth that much. I would rather find a player that fits our system better and isn't a liability on one end that we have to try and cover.

Wiz get Favors, Exum and Thabo
Heat get Mahinmi
Jazz get Porter and Olynyk

Keep Rubio this season and summer. Olynyk becomes our primary backup C who can shoot the 3. We keep our 1st.

Wiz get to dump Mahinmi. Heat get to dump Olynyk's 3rd year when they want to go spending in 2020.

Wonder if we could do Favors and Bradley for Porter? Or add a 1st in too...I’d highly prefer that to Exum.

Doubt it but I’d love to retain Exum and Sef and dump James Collins.

Not wizards. A team where Dante and derrick can both start
