So im confused.
Is there a way to keep the core 4, Gordon, Morrow, Smith as well as add Asik and still have the MLE?
MM,
Is this a rumor or did this come from the horses mouth?
What's wrong with Gay? When we played Sac-Town, I even said that he'd would be a great fit for this team, except for that contract and not shooting for a good percentage from 3pt land, I suppose.
If Reke has to start at SF. He should be a point SF on 40% of all possessions.......make the opposing SF chase him.....
It's not the offensive side that presents the problem. Jrue, Reke, and Gordon's skill sets fit fine over there. It is that Monty does not want Tyreke defending SF's. Couple that with the fact that Gordon is one of the smallest SG's and it is an issue, especially with the system we run.

Gay is exactly the kinda 3 you'd want. Only...a bit better a shooter. But nobody's perfect. If a guy is AMAZING on offense, odds are he doesn't play any D or is just terrible at it. And vice versa. But if a guy is great on offense and defense, he's probably a passive type that would rather defer than eat an enemy's larynx. Or he's great at everything on offense except shooting from deep or something.
undoubtedly. it would put jrue and gordon on the wings who shoot better and make players not accustomed to playing on ball do so.
he would basically just be guarding SF's
but it isn't going to happen. more moves will be made, just not in a time frame to appease those of us biting at the bit
Not really that simple if you believe Monty's and Dell's jobs are directly tied to this years outcome. If Gordon becomes a lockerroom cancer we could be in for a long season as it'll not only hurt his trade value(not sure it could get worse), but hurt the team chemistry.
Is Paul pierce washed up? Curious your take.
I dont know how many times I've said that Tyreke and Ryan Anderson are a good pair and is probably best for the TEAM for them to come off the bench.
The fact that he is owed 30 million gives him tons of leverage. He knows that his employer wants to get production for that money. So, he can easily say, "You want to get optimum production from me, then keep me happy."
Look, I don't think he is a terrible guy. He sacrificed quite a bit last year and I think he will again. But it just isn't a great basketball fit at this point. He is a much better player than someone like Morrow, but Morrow would be a better fit. We need a catch and shoot guy, not a dribble 8 times then jack a jumper or lose it off your leg guy.
