I agree, there is little merit in running it back with Reke running the point, and we have all seen that with Gordon and Reke there is a bit of redundancy where you can shift one of those assets for something you need elsewhere. I would be fine for moving both, but if I am stuck moving one, move Reke. Gordon to his credit is a solid catch and shoot player.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
If you've ever listen to Dell or Monty talk about there team....more than once all the players you mentioned. ...or all considered core players......Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
If they really have said that, Its probably why people think we can make the playoffs, but not win a title with this unit.
Seriously, those are core players? What title team in the last 5 years would consider any of these guys core players, and at the salary each of those guys command?
I think these guys are all better assets than the players they replaced, but they aren't the final parts to what we expect to win a title with. I think these are good assets that we will use to try getting better assets.

So, Please enlightened us on who YOU would bring in NEXT year to make this a title team..?
Who would I bring in? Good question. Seeing as how I didn't see us being able to move Emeka and Ariza, or getting Jrue for a lottery pick, so it really is hard to say if all we are going off of is a list of free agents, (which isn't a really good list to base these things off of since we have no cap space).
But who on this team do you see being here on a title winning team, and in what capacity?

I don't think you can determine who'll be a fit on a championship team ...going on a this season alone with all the injuries and lack of playing time together. ..it'll be clearer next season. ...IMO. ..Such is life things change and people grow. ..same for teams as well. ..who knew the Warriors would be this good..
Are you ****ing stupid? For what you're paying reke, he is a great value. Both as a spot starter and a perennial 6th man of the year (if our starters are healthy).
Putting words in my mouth. I run it back with a healthy team and don't sell the farm.

"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Well, that's one take on Reke. A little personal, and not dignified, but a different take none the less.
BSH, I am not putting words in your mouth, I think something is lost in translation. I think we have to many one dimensional guys here, and paying them like they are well rounded.

Agreed. .find a small ball PF/C to back up Asik
We don't need more role players. We need one co star .
We could landed this co star in the 2012 draft. Sadly we got Austin instead of Damien Lillard.
One realistic option would be to go after Eric Bledsoe.
In this scenario we have to get rid of Holiday.
Asik is also not useful for us.
We can sign McGee for maybe the minimum.
20mpg is fine for him.
Crowder would be a great fit for this team.
PG: Bledsoe
SG: Gordon
SF: Crowder
PF: Davis
C: McGee
Bench: Evans, Anderson, Cole, Ajinca, Pondexter, Cunningham
Do you even know what you're talking about. how many players in the NBA can average 17-5-5 ? What do you call "well rounded".
Show me a single player not on his rookie contract that averages 15-5-5 that only costs 10 million a year for 5 years.
With this lineup we'll be in the lotto and on Shaq-in-a fool..more often than not. Gordon and Bledsoe didn't work with the Clippers, why bring it here....plus we would have the shortest backcourt in the league. ..IMO...awful
God no.
Eric Bledsoe could have the same role as Kyrie Irving.
Plus he is the better defender.
McGee is actually not a bad player.
Yeah he is unintentionally hilarious. I'd watch every home game, because of his funny plays
But if you compare his play against Bogut (i.e. Playoffs 2013), maybe you change your mind.
I don't know why you are making this so personal. I am sorry if I have upset you, but please stop with the name calling. If you continue down this road, I will have no other choice than to report you.
As for players putting up stats, do you remember GV here? He was putting up a double double. Emeka was avg. a double double. Stats are pretty, but they aren't everything.
Bledsoe and Gordon didn't work together in LA, but then again they were both young...at it was the Clippers pre-CP3. That doesn't mean they won't work together here (not that I am for that either).
Very impressive, I wouldn't touch him. .there's a reason no one picked him up. ..Eric Bledsoe could have the same role as Kyrie Irving.
Plus he is the better defender.
McGee is actually not a bad player.

Man Minnesota just needs to trade us Pekovic for Gordon straight up, problem solved
McGee might not be a bad pickup. He is being paid by Phila next season. So he may agree for a small contract (probably more than minimum - maybe part of MLE?)
problem with him (not mentioning his IQ) is that he wants a big role in team. for me he might be only energy guy for max 20 mins
my only problem with continuity with our core is with our basketball IQ - ok it will increase a little when players will learn each other more. but problem will stay probably...
I'd much rather bring Withey back than even look McGee's way. We want to maintain or raise our team IQ, not lower it.
low-paid JaVale is IMO better than Withey.
I have in mind IQ issues.
I may take a risk for one year
Yeah, there is a huge difference between a double double and 17-6-5. You know that right. There are only a handful of players in the league that can put those numbers up as a starter or a 6th man.
And there are NONE of them on the contract Tyreke has. In 2 years paying paying our 2 starting guards a total of 20 million is going to be a steal and you'll be praising Tyreke. Because of Tyreke we can get a dominate 3 next offseason, if we had to also find a guard with his 10 million dollars if they magically disappeared I guarantee you he'd be way ****tier.
Once the cap goes up Eric Gordon is going to get a bigger contract than what Tyreke has. And you're crazy if you think Eric Gordon is better than Tyreke Evans.
Tyreke is a little inefficient, but he is a great passer and rebounder, he does lots of things well, there are very very very few players in the league with his versatility and his contract makes him a steal.
Reke is a bench guy, when he is on the bench he won't be posting those same numbers (he isn't Manu or Lou Williams). He is a turnover machine as well. With him acting as a 6th man those numbers will drop as well, but for the improvements he made this season, he was still Reke when it counted. Him being moved to the bench, I would prefer Cole handling the ball over Reke (in that unit) but Reke needs the ball to create for himself, so what are you going to do. Between him and Gordon, Reke should have the higher value, but for what we need, Gordon is the better fit.
