We all **** on a guy like Parker, but I'm not positive Kuzma is better than Parker. If Parker is available for a small contract next year, he's a better gamble than giving up legit assets for Kuzma.
These are people I would consider informed/smart fans.There are fans on this site that think Rudy should come off the bench...
A little ball stopping wouldn’t be bad at times... there are times when the ball moves well and it results in us turning a spot Ingles three into a Ricky three or a turnover... ball movement is not the end... it’s the means... a good willing shooter would really help. Our offense is ummmmm pretty average/bad... so maybe changes would be a good thing.
It seems silly now, and I can understand that, but being silly at a particular point in time doesn't necessarily mean it's silly overall.LOL at the people bitching that we have "wasted all of our assets!" then insisting that we trade a first for Mirotic.
You and PG_AB must have gotten real chummy alone on Barnes island. Only so many people to talk to.
Saric makes 2.5 a year, its more like Niang + first.I’d be way down for just adding Saric at this point. A first, Thabo, whatever other non Rubio/Favs expirings.
I don't get Memphis. Reminds of Tyreke Evans, who was on an amazing deal and reportedly had multiple suitors last year but Memphis decided they weren't getting enough. Chris Wallace was fixated on a return and wouldn't change his posture. At the end, Evans ended up leaving for nothing.
And now, they have decided to pull the plug too late, when their franchise players were getting old on massive contracts and the team was going nowhere. Now they want a king´s ransom for those players. Doesn´t make sense to wait until the draft. The value of Conley is unlikely to increase moving forward.
I guess is all posturing but it didn't work last's year. Aniway, Wallace is a bum.
GSW looking mortal and the East a total dogfight.
I don't think they should. If they want to spend a first on a 4 I think the target would be Saric. He has team control, 1 more cheap year, and more potential (IMO).
The question would be what happens to Favors in that scenario. I don't think you could make a Minnesota deal make sense. It' had to be Niang+1st for Saric then move Favors (or Crowder) in a separate deal.

Teague is a worse/equally bad get as Reggie Jackson.Is it possible to get Saric by ridding Minny of Teague and somehow send Teague to Memphis for Conley at the same time? That way Minny gets their books cleared, Memphis gets Teague instead of Reggie Jackson, and we send a bit more but get Conley and Saric.

They barely even play Saric and he's a bad fit with KAT. You might be right though, but taking back bad contracts is a no-no.I’d 1000% do a Saric deal but a first is light value... maybe a three team deal of sorts... I think we’d have to provide more value.
Taking Dieng is excessive... Teague probably excessive but I think I’d do that... still a useful player. Ricky/thabo 1st for Teague and Saric.
Move Favs in another deal or ask him to be backup center for 30 games.
The part of me that occasionally dons a tin-foil cap wonders if this isn't a clever strategy. DL doesn't want to do anything, so he helps some rumors get leaked that he has zeroed in a guy (Hayward 2017, Conley 2019) then Lindsey can sit back while the competition improves, and he can tell his bosses and the public- "Gosh we tried" but while we were waiting for someone else all this stuff happened so we couldn't do plan B.
Then the rational part of me tells the tin-foil hat guy to sit down and shut up.
