Why does everyone say Gay didn’t help the defense? Dude has amazing defensive analytics.

Those are in part because Aldridge was so bad. His on/off was wails though.

Imagine him playing with Rudy though. I have a lot of faith in him.

I love gay… I think he could be great for us. I think him and Gobert could murder the offensive glass when sharing the court. Same with whiteside.

Not saying Gay doesn’t help. I just think we needed 2-3 wing defenders. The three guys I think we needed to add are:

(1) an athletic guy that can guard 3-5 and play small ball 5 (we nailed this with Gay)
(2) a starter level athletic guy that can guard 2-4;
(3) a budget option guy that can guard 2-4 (still very much a possibility)

Maybe landing all three of those was too big of an ask in a single offseason with all the problems DL left, but that was my hope.

My personal opinion is (2) is likely going to require us to give up Ingles/Bogey, Maybe we see how things go and pull that trigger at the deadline. That’s a totally reasonable thing to do. Still think we should sign a budget wing defender now though if that’s the plan.

Guard Free Agents to consider. I would image Ennis and Forbes are gettable.

2s
James Ennis
Danny Green
Terrance Davis

1s
Bryn Forbes
Corey Joseph
Reggie Jackson
 
Conley, Butler, Forrest
Mitchell, Clarkson, Hughes
Bogey, Ingles, Brantley
Royce, Gay, Morgan
Rudy, Hassan, Doke

Am I missing anyone?

From what I understand Brantley, Morgan and Hughes are not guaranteed. Is this correct?

We need perimeter defense so RHJ, Winslow, DJJ or Michael Kidd-Gilchrist on a minimum deal would probably be good. Let this player, whoever it is, focus on defense and threes, like Royce.

We didn’t give Morgan a QO, so he’s a UFA

Brantley was given a QO, so he’s a RFA... but still not a lock to make the roster.

Forrest could technically sign a two-way, but he may earn a roster spot.
