There's also a difference between being an NBA bench player and getting no minutes on a contender. The last part is what I addressed. I bolded it didn't I?

Moore and Hill would barely touch the court on the Cavs, Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, or Celtics.

Trade Ajinca + 2rd pick = Kyle O'Quinn C-PF
Trade Pondexter + protected 1st rd pick (Top 18) = Will Barton SG-SF
Sign Patrick Patterson PF to replace Cunningham (up front depth)
Sign Young & Lawson or Rondo
If wanna get out of E Moore trade for Justin Holiday S&T for 6.5 mil (Big if)

[N.O.Bronco]

That's not saying much.

It actually kinda is.

That unit produced a +16 Net rating. Held the opposing team to 41% shooting.

You are talking pretty good company with that. Granted there are some problem areas like TOV's and ball movement with that unit, but that is what Finch is coming in for.

One thing that really did not get used enough last season was the slashing ability of guys like Hill. His best games came when he was attacking the rim, making cuts and not just camping at the three point line. Finch's style that Gentry is incorporating relies heavily on their big man passing to guys cutting and slashing to the basket. There is some reason to believe that Finch should better optimize both Hill and Jrue a lot better then we used them last season.

I still hate the contract and think it will be our new anchor and may ultimately be one of those things that have us looking to Hinkie in a season or two, but there is some silver linings in all this.....Assuming Gentry does a better job with lineup management and rotations then he has shown himself thus far, which is probably the achilles heel for me in making this all work.

Being that Jrue can disappear in some games offensively we need
another scorer in the starting 5 WILL BARTON ANYBODY????

Cool. So the consensus is the boards are fine with Moore starting next year?

Andre Iguodala has canceled the remainder of his free agency meetings, league sources tell The Vertical.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) July 1, 2017

Warriors unclear what it means that Andre Iguodala canceled rest of FA meetings. Sense is he may be coming their way w/ Houston offer.

Damn. I knew he was going to get a short-term deal for a ton of money, but I wasn't expecting 23m.

Good deal for both sides.

Um Chalmers was on the heat and was a starter when they won a championship so that's not saying much

You think the Pels are better than that Heat team?

[DaFranchise80]

I would love to upgrade from Moore but it's not the end of the world if he starts at SG.

[Nola3]

Man can we sign somebody already .....we need some serious upgrades Dell and company better be working .

I wouldn't worry. The first few days of FA are always full of crazy overpays. If you can wait it out, next week is where the value usually lies.

[UNO Gracias]

Man, JJ is getting $23m? Man, people getting paid. That 76ers team is going to be fun to watch.

[23speedkillz]

He wasn't saying they are better. Just how hypocritical your argument was. You said they would barely touch the floor. If we had zaza starting you would probably say the same about him. Bottom line is every team including the warriors has a position they could probably upgrade.

Do you know how to read? never said that i said chalmers started on a heat team that you said players like Moore and hill couldn't start on.

[lsutigers33]

Good deal for both sides.

Kills my thought that they would take Asik off our hands.

[Silver Nail]

TRY THIS TRADE IDEA

Pels get Alex Len and Brandon Knight Suns get AA, AO, O-Pon and Pels 2018 first

[wnelson]

Wasn't he linked to us in the past? Or was he a suggested target? I don't remember...

Another 3pt shooter. At least we're clear on our direction.


...odd we haven't been reported as looking into any bigs. We can't be about to roll with both Asik and Ajinca off the bench...

I think we will cut/waive/stretch asik and ajinca and roll with Diallo as the backup

[N.O.Bronco]

If the season started tomorrow, that would be the lineup I would want to get the most time on the floor.

Is it my ideal? Absolutely not. In a perfect world I would much rather a player like Reddick manning the 2 spot. A much more consistent defender and offensive threat. And who knows, there were a few rumors the other day of us pursuing Korver. So really this is all very fluid right now. I would love to upgrade the spot, but people are making Moore out to be some godawful albatross when in reality he is probably one of the few easily moveable players.

Cleveland's in talks with Houston on a deal to move Iman Shumpert to Rockets, league sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/Uym4ZfSwMz

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 1, 2017

Cavs in market to get draft pick & trade exception for Iman Shumpert, which would free $ to sign Kyle Korver and set up future deals.
