I think when the main pieces of your roster are well below 25 and you have a special talent like Cam or even Hunter you just give them time to develop, when they reach 25/26 then you already have an idea of what they are going to be and then you make  a decission. We don’t need to win a ring today. If you want to improve the roster at wing position use Gallo, Delon, Lou, Dieng, Bogi or Huerter or a draft pick.  If you include Huerter must be for a real special player. You just don’t give up on 2 way player with star potential.

And I think our main target should be Myles Turner, I would gladly give Bogi and Capela for him.

In my opinion Bogi, Gallo, Huerter, Delon, Lou, Capela should be available for an upgrade at SG or C. We should keep Trae, Cam, Hunter, Collins, Okongwu, Cooper and JJ. 

Delon is playing a good game, finnally he is doing what he is capable.

Bogi is playing horrible, Collins and Cam are at least trying

Can't play the rooks, they aren't ready. We have to watch washed up vets lose instead

At the end Nate is the coach but i think Cooper and Johnson can provide same production as the vets we have signed

123 min available fo new players taking as reference last Game. I think considering Trae, Lou, Gallo anda Capela are out.. there should be significante minutes for Sharife, JJ anda Okongwu.

Marquese Chriss is available años he fits.

We need a Big C, not another wing.

Is really difficult for me to understand why people are giving up on Cam. We are deep, we can afford to have some young guys developing. The talent is there, the hightlights are there, you can see he can be special, consistency is not there but it takes more time for some players. We have 2 seasons to discover what we have on Cam, relax and enjoy the growth. 
 

We already have Huerter, Bogi and Hunter Claiming big  minutes, we can wait on Cam, prize is too big to change him for a role player.

I am officially worried about the Cavs, really solid moves. They have a bright future

Cooper made some ugly mistakes on Game 1 but this performance was just WOW. Terrible performance for a rookie, he is a steal at 2nd round

JJ did get his numbers with no real highlight, seems like another day in the office. TO was a problem and shooting as well but he can play some minutes.

Cooper made some highlights but he also has some ugly plays and was not helping with Ball movement, always looking for the final pas, TO, decission making and shooting were a problem but he has some tools. Cannot play on the NBA now, G League.

Cooper is playing really bad on the 4th

Any link to watch the Game?

Well, I think all teams with size would be trouble for us, that is mainly Bucks, Sixers and Nets. On the west Lakers.

I agree I don’t see how Solo could be useful. Lou will be key in some periods of the season, I am sure, he always is

I like the roster we are building, we have depth and options for certain matchups. We have legit depth even beyond 10th man. Roster is really awesome. Dieng is a real good option with OO injured and injury risks on Gallo and Capela, I think he could end as a Big contributor this year.

I think our rotation with min distribution when everybody is healthy (Big When) may look like this until OO comes back.

Young (33)/Wright (15)/Cooper

Bogi (28)/Huerter (20)/Mays

Hunter (28)/Reddish (20)/Hill

Collins(33)/Gallo(20)/JJ

Capela(28)/Dieng(15)/OO

Minutes for 3rd unir will be hard to come but we are going to have injuries.

Main injury risks are

- Gallo and Capela, this will open more minutes for Dieng/Jalen Johnson.

- Reddish/Hunter/Bogi, this will open minutes for rookie Cooper, sliding Wright to SG and Jalen Johnson as SF.

 

So apparently after final moves we might look something like this

Young (33)/Wright (12)/Lou (8)

Bogi (25)/Huerter (20)/Mays

Hunter (28)/Reddish (20)/Hill

Collins(33)/Gallo(18)/JJ

Capela(28)/Dieng(15)/OO

That means that Wright will split his time between PG and SG, and we might be running some small lineups with Huerter at 3 and Hunter at 4. Lou will get his time. We are incredibly deep, 12 quality players that might be on a rotation on any team, that is insane.

I still prefer Giles.

I agree

Lou will be really useful on some periods of the season. I am sure he cuts time from Mays, Wright, Cooper and even Huerter at the beginning of the season but at mid season when we are hit by injuries and OO is back we will see the reason why he is signed. He is also going to be key at end of the season.

Umm Jordan Bell is quite interesting, he is still young and I think he could be useful, I like him for a 2 way contract

So Sacramento would be giving Hailburton, Bagley and TT for Siakam and then Hield for Rubio? Who will start for them on the wings? 3PG does not make much sense for me

I went with Lou Williams, I think his scoring and pick and roll game is extremely valuable for us. I don’t see Milsap contributing

Well Happy to see John back, not a fan of that contract, hopefully John plays to the value of the contract he is signing. 

Well, I knew It was not going to be a popular statement but there are some facts that are not opinions.

- He complained about lack of touches.

- He was suspended for violating drug policy.

- He underperformed on playoffs.

- 4/90 was already a good offer, he rejected and some reports say he felt disrespected.

- He is not an elite Big, he is efficient thanks to Trae but he cannot create by himself and is average on defense, I think he is a top 10 PF but not a Max player, more than likely he will never be an all-star.

- 5/125 is a hell of an offer, I even doubt is true, if he is far to agree such an offer as some reports are suggesting. I say yes this is not the only time John is going to be on highlights news.

I am not saying he is as complicated as Dennis or Smith but we cannot act as all these things have not happened, specially the 2 first ones.

On a side note I think we understimated the Jalen Johnson pick, I think Atlanta went PF because they already knew Collins most likely was leaving. I think we might end with Gallo as the starter and certainly this could open minutes for Reddish and Hunter.
