    I’m not sure anyone signing for the vet min and wants to play is going to come back up randle under thibs. They have to know how limited the playing time is. There is nothing wrong with playing small until atleast the trade deadline.

    option 1: sounds good

    option 2: sounds good

    option 3: sounds good

    sorry if i’m being a bit too opinionated and closed-minded.

    Michael Beasley on that list?

    Edit: ok I read it. GALLINARI! yes, let’s do it!

    >Most importantly, Green had a career-best defensive rating of 112.8 during his time with ‘Dub Nation’ which is just above the league average of around 111.

    Isn’t your drtg better if it’s lower?

    Option 1: wouldn’t be sustainable IMO

    Option 2: no defense lol

    Option 3: If hes okay with the role then yes I’m for it

    Personally I’m not a big fan of Small Ball. Both Gallinari and JaMychal Green would be cool, I’m leaning a bit more towards Gallo.

    Love gallo but would rather have someone whose younger / more athletic that we can maybe try to toss out to defend a high level wing for 8 min a night. Darius Bazley on the market…

    You can’t just run the team as is, both option 2 and 3 are worth a look

    The question is though can thibs adjust his rotations? Like if you do sign a flawed backup there will be games they need to play and games they can sit.

    Can thibs do that? His rotations are essentially set and sometimes just lazy. It would require some creativity which not sure thibs has shown.

    Kelly Oubre Jr. would be the perfect piece to this team, playing the primary backup 4 with tons of opportunity to play the 3 and 2 barring injuries. Our Starters would be Brunson, Grimes, Rj, Randle, Mitch with IQ, DD, Hart, Oubre, and Hartenstein coming off the bench. If we were a lil bit deeper i think we could’ve beat the heat, this move really solidifies our roster.
