Who's the ideal #1?

Latrell Sprewell.

 

[Bodhi]

It's always prime Jimmy Butler for me. Works with everyone and not massively ball dominant and will do it all, lead with passion and is a dawwwwwwwwwg.

Close the thread please.

Ideally for your number 1 you want a perimeter player with good size for his position that is great at creating a clean look against tough defense and is a willing passer.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence I guess. I mean we have our #1 in Markkanen, our #2 in Clarkson and our #3 in Kessler. That’s a pretty strong core! But that’s not all, we’ve got all the accessory pieces to help them succeed as well. Patience please, Rome wasn’t built in a day my friends. (My biggest concern is that we don’t value Vando enough and that we trade him for an inferior product in Collins or someone else.)

Our biggest concerns right now roster-wise should be preparing for life without our aging point guard, Conley and resigning the “Magic Man” Clarkson. I think we take care of that and the rest will take care of itself personnel wise. But we should also prepare for the draft by clearing some cap space and creating a few slots imo.

Look how miserable those Clippers fans are after selling their souls for just the right one two and threes!

Clarkson is not a number 2 and it is way too early to have Kessler penciled in as a number 3. Hell Clarkson may be gone this offseason.

I guess the question I would have is this: How would Wemby, Lauri, and Kessler do as a front line? Maybe we would also draft Cason Wallace or Turquavion Smith to add to our Sexton/Agbaji rotation. Does that give us a championship?

I don't wholly disagree, but I think our biggest concerns are getting better defensive players while not losing too much shooting and maintaining long-term ball movement once whatever magic Hardy is performing on the roster wears off (as it's bound to, to some degree).

Well you know what they say about opinions (including my own). All I know is that: a) he’s currently #8 in the initial NBA.com Clutch Player Award ladder, big shots every game, b) he’s our second leading scorer at 21 pts a game with solid %, c) he outplayed Mitchell and Harden on subsequent nights and then fared better than Mitchell had being covered by Jaden McDaniels.

You get Wemby and he's what everyone thinks he should be, yeah, that's a pretty quick route to real contention.

With regard to JC... I think he ends up aging kinda like DeRozan... they are crafty and hoopers... tend to keep adding stuff even late career. Demar seems to only get better and he's 33 with no real signs of slowing.

Extremely well reasoned argument imo. I can’t dispute it but would only add that from an organic perspective team defense may take longer than team offense to really gel. I like your approach, I just don’t want to do anything rash that’s going to maybe derail this good thing we have gaining momentum.

Well said Sir! Perfect comparison.
