I question the wisdom of all these options over Keef. Both from a locker room perspective, and depth behind PJ & Maxi at PF…
I suppose i could make a trade/asset value argument though.
Whatever. In Nico I trust. We ball!
I’m surprised there is no mention of Markieff at all. Maybe we’ll waive Lawson to open another roster spot?
THT sucks.
As for Dinwiddie and DSJ, they are both useful players but we really don’t have any guard minutes left to give to them. If they are OK being 3rd stringers and only playing when someone is injured and getting DNPs in other games, then great, they would be some of the best 3rd stringers in the league. But I feel like they can get better offers that this, there are teams who actually need a backup guard.
I wouldn’t be super happy if we take away all of Hardy’s minutes and give them to DSJ/Dinwiddie, Hardy is younger and more likely to be in our future plans. And we will already have few minutes for Hardy anyways with Luka, Kyrie, Klay, Grimes, Exum all playing PG/SG minutes.
I like all of them.
– DSJ became a really good defender and would be a feel good story.
– Dinwiddie, fuck him for those dumbass statements and daddy issues but is a great option for cheap.
– THT is obviously ass, but still seems like a worthy reclamation project and if we can’t make it work, he is not gonna play anyaway.
For anyone who didn’t click the link it’s from Marc Stein and the top candidate is Dinwiddie.
If he’s coming back does that mean that being with Mom is better than with Dad ?
Was hoping we would kick the tires on Landry Shamet until I learned he is cursed and his teams never make past the 2nd round
Dinwiddie was great under our system. He was one of the best corner shooters in the league. His defence isn’t half as bad. However DSJ is younger and his defence is amazing ranks as one of the top defenders in the league. D-EPM ranks him as a top 8 defender in the league. So if we need playmaking and want someone in the short term dinwiddie. Athleticism and defending and long term = DSJ.
What is the pitch for these players? They would be at best the 12th man in the rotation, which would put them on DNPs for most games. I would imagine both Dinwiddie and DSJ would have min offers that give at least more minutes.
Wanted Dinwiddie but he was so ass in Lakers they started calling him Dinshittie and now idk what to feel about
