Pels are not contenders.
Not this season. Maybe never.
Marco can choose from top5.
Think smaller.
NEW coach!
At this point, with the Lakers, Clippers etc. surging, I don't see us making the playoffs.. It's time for a coaching change, there's no reason this team should only score 81 points in a game...
This team needs to sign Mario Henzonja in FA and go after Evan Fournier by sending Orlando our 1st round pick this summer. Henzonja is going to be the steal of FA this year on what will be a great contract. Unless he keeps lighting it up to finish the season now that he is starting with Gordon out. Fournier is the closest thing to Klay Thompson in the NBA and would be the perfect fit here for what we want at SG. He would thrive as the 3A/3B option here instead of being 1A/1B with the Magic.
This starting group would be incredible offensively with potential to be dominant. If we could somehow move Hill and keep Moore for the bench this team could be scary. Not to mention if Jackson can be a solid player along with Diallo would be a huge boost for this team. We desperately need some luck on our side.
Jrue/Fournier/Henzonja/AD/Boogie
Jackson/Moore/Miller/Mirotic/Diallo
Just say we find a taker for Hill while being able to keep the rest of the team intact.. as realistic options who would you package draft picks for through a trade along with 1 or 2 bargain FAs that would improve this team?
I wonder what it would take to get someone like Lillard.. I have a feeling he's going to force his way out of there sooner or later. Would Holiday, Diallo, and a 1st be enough? I think that would be a great deal for them. Maybe a 3rd team involved to take on Jrue but he would fit great next to CJ. I feel Lillard would be one of those few players that instantly by himself turns this team into a serious championship contender.
David Fizdale? Jeff Van Gundy? Chris Fleming?
Or just hire Mike Zarren and let him pick the path.
Henzonja with another big game since being inserted in the starting lineup. Kid is going to draw some interest in FA. I could see Dell go after him hard with his interest in Euro players. Kid is going to be a star.
Not that he would even come here, but do you think Derrick Rose has anything left in the tank that could help this team?
TROY WILLIAMS
I would get rid of Moore in a New York second for this kid.. has the versatility to play SG, SF, and PF giving us a lot of roster flexibility. He also has star potential and is only going to get better with how young he is. He will be able to grow with our core as well while Moore is headed out of his prime. I think Hill can be moved this summer. Maybe Orlando will do a sign and trade.
So when do the buy outs start?

How long does the buyout market period last?
The buyout market is technically always open, but it’s most active after the NBA trade deadline passes. That’s when contenders look for one last chance to bolster their rosters.
The buyout market period effectively ends on March 1, because that is the last day teams any bought-out player can find a new club to be eligible to compete in the playoffs. Buyout market free agents differ from regular free agents who never signed with a team during or ahead of the regular season
I’m confused. Did the rockets sign joe Johnson

Yeah, Joe signed with the Rockets. This division just got harder.
Do we have any roster spots left for Williams?
Yes can we please sign Williams! That's the exact player this team has been waiting for. Kid has a ton of talent and fits in perfectly. Can play both SG and SF while being arguably the best dunker in the NBA. He's a ridiculous athelete and is good around the rim. He's a 2 way player who at times plays great D along with a knockdown shot from deep. Already plays in a very similiar system in Houston so the transition should seem less. We need atleast 1 more wing player and he's the best fit out there. Would be a great addition to this team boosting the athleticism, youth, and talent.. this would add more roster flexibility as well possibly allowing us to insert Miller in the starting lineup.
we have one player on two-way
but we cannot sign another one this year. the deadline for it passed.
FWIW yesterday Jrue reached 2.075 minutes played whole season
it was likely incentive in his contract and he received bonus of $255K.
It may be smart to sign Williams after he clears waivers (48 hours after waiving)
The question is - will he come here
Williams won the DLeague Dunk Contest in NOLA if that means anything.. he's coming back to NOLA!?
Oh I wasn't saying whether they should or shouldn't sign him to that spot, only that it's an available roster spot right now.
As far as signing him all season goes, yeah I probably lean towards doing it this year with a team option for next, but I'm also curious to see who else gets released. If Brook Lopez does then I'd probably want him instead depending what we do with the other spot.
Ian Begley: Knicks are one of several teams to express interest in Troy Williams, per league sources. Williams is expected to make a decision on his next destination soon. The 23-year-old 6-7 wing was waived by Houston to make room for Joe Johnson. NYK has an open roster spot at the moment. – via Twitter IanBegley
Heh. Should be fun. He clearly has the most to gain with us if it's between us and the Knicks. Knicks will be a lottery team. We're a winning streak from the 5th seed or so. If he's a big part of our run, he can make good money on a playoff stage. New York just has it's market size going for it, where it doesn't really matter because he's not gonna be a max guy...
Unless he is a max guy.
Troy chooses Knicks. From Shams: Free agent Troy Williams is signing a 10-day contract with the New York Knicks, league sources said. Williams decided among several interested teams since release from Houston last week.
It makes sense to choose a place where you can play while on 10day.
Probably Dell did not wanted to give him rest of the season deal from the start. And probably it is not a bad idea
Pels lose again :(
First.
We do not know for sure how many minutes might be available for him. Assumin Solo returns soon.
TBH I have hard time with finding any.
NY might have some.
Just wondering, but is there any other team you guys know off the top of your head with 3 players who are missing the entire season?
We are right there with everyone else (in terms of players missing the entire season).
