This is my thread, but to be honest I would have never gotten around to making it. I’d normally backup my argument but I’ll just go ahead and make the statement that we get him on a long-term deal and he becomes our “almost Marcus Smart.”

Sounds good to me. I assume his defense has been above average too, since that’s been his calling card.

If he’s gonna steal wins for us then we need to get long term value.

No freaking way.

Dunn has a maddeningly loose handle, is an undisciplined ball hawk of a defender and plays a super inefficient brand of basketball.

He needs the whole interior for his extended one-on-one dribbling escapades, which pushes Kessler out of rebounding position and makes Lauri stand around on the perimeter to space the floor. When it sometimes works, he looks like MJ... but most of the times it won't, and he kills the whole offense.

Don't be fooled. Don't think you're smarter than the entire league. There's a reason why Dunn was a #5 pick but fell out of the league. He's a gigantic bust, one of the worst of the last 20 years.

Realistically, he's a 9th man on a good team. If you just use him for 5 to 10 minutes per game to get a different look, I'm fine with him. But as an overdribbling PG who mainly looks for his own shot? GTFO.

20 mpg defensive specialist off the bench. We needed that the past three years. We’ll need it shortly, because we’re arriving ahead of schedule, so lock him up.

I'd be cool with rest of the year + nom guaranteed for next year with an end of camp cut date
I wouldn't be adverse to this. Give him a chance to breath, get some more time with the team and see if Hardy can get him to settle a bit on defense. He's also got a useful 3 point shot. Worst case, he can be used to help match salary with a non-guaranteed deal. If dude's amenable it, then sure, why not?

Did he bang your mom or something because you have an irrational hatred of him?
