Basketball.
All I really want to add at this point to the team is someone who can make shots from outside at a high level who isn't also completely useless with the ball in their hands.
They don't need to be a guard, they don't need to be 6'2, I don't really care if they're a ''pg'' or not. I'm willing to trust that between Kira going into his second season, NAW into his third, and Zion/BI as a duo, we have enough guys who can have the ball in their hands and make plays. Maybe that's stupid, but I'm fine with just seeing what happens with it.
But I still want to see if we can add one more shooter/tertiary ball handler.
Basically what I'm saying is that I still want Joe Ingles.

He chose to have surgery on it given it was a contract year. He would have come back for the championship had the Nets made it that far. He?s not 100% healthy. Obviously you take it into consideration in negotiations, but I?m just as worried about Lonzo?s health, or Brogdon even more so.
Yea that’s why, if Ingles is off the table, Powell is my number 1 options. Would love him at 3/50
Yeah, but did he die?
I miss Courtney Alexander, and what might have been.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Dinwiddie has missed his share of games prior to the injury as well, but the injury is more concerning. I am sure teams are aware of how he is progressing though.
Portis looking to get paid also-

Started looking into Devonte' Graham after the sign and trade for Ball rumor came out and this article title just makes me laugh.

I've actually grown to really like the Dinwiddie option thinking about how good he'd be for Kira to grow behind. His game matches well with Zion, too.

Good positive energy.
But also, yo mama's fat.
It's true, he is in fact good and not bad. Mostly.
Not as bad defensively as his size might imply (he was a +0.2 D-EPM last year, for reference, which is about 66th percentile. Not good, but also not horrific!) and a legitimately excellent shooter on frankly absurd volume (something like 14 attempts per 100 this year, which is bonkers). Good passer who doesn't turn it over.
Can't get to the rim and can't finish there is his major flaw. Legitimately just garbage at it, really awful. And despite his efforts, the defense still isn't good. But yeah he's fine. Wouldn't be the worst option in the world.
ESPN has Duncan Robinson resigning with the heat for 12 mil per year. I’d go in way higher than that if I’m Griff. Offer 4/72 and force their hand
So basically replacing Lonzo with Lonzo
Replacing Lonzo with Lonzo for close to half the cost would not be a bad move
Half the cost, huge loss in upside, and way way less D.
Getting Graham, to me, is saying "we fully expect Kira to turn into the starting PG within two seasons". Or they see another option. And I'm ok with that.

And that?s the worry. You can?t go into a playoff series with both Graham and Kira defensively. You would be so incredibly undersized at the position. I?m a big fan of Kira so personally I?d rather a shooting wing than Graham
He should easily get that. FA market is soooo bad.
But not many people have cap room. The market is overall poor in talent, and we should be bargain shopping if we can?t land the big fish of CP3, Lowry, or Norman Powell, imo.
Is there a more annoying voice in the NBA media than Kendrick Perkins?
Find another 6"10" 250 LB 6th man entering his prime that can defend, rebound, and shoot.
He may settle for 11 million on a contender, but he's probably getting close to 13 million.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!!
When people see those three letters (ACL), nowadays they think it's not serious...not true. Both cruciate ligaments are critical for the stabilization of the knee. To provide for the weakened stabilization, one has to build muscle to enhance the weakened (or lost) ligament. Failure to do so, can (and usually does) provide for a litany of other failings in knee.
Well if Lowry is out the picture, I may be inclined to take Lonzo back as long as we could add two other decent free agents with him. I wonder how much Oladipo would cost for a 1 year prove it deal? He couldn?t cost too much considering his injury history the last few years. Kelly Olynyk might be my favorite to sign as a backup 4 since he could use his floor spacing at both the 4 & 5.
C: Jonas, Hayes
PF: Zion, Olynyk
SF: BI, Murphy
SG: Oladipo, NAW
PG: Lonzo, Kira
That team would have to make the playoffs if we can get a healthy run out of Oladipo. Having NAW as a player I think could be worthy of starting if Oladipo would need to miss some time would make the Oladipo signing not as much as a risk. Huge risk, high reward
I'm sure his voice would be more tolerable if he were capable of coherent speech.
No. He spouts a series of dumb hot takes and just agrees with other commentators when in depth analysis is asked/needed. I am curious how many offensive things he needs to say before he gets fired.
- A three-way deal between the Charlotte Hornets, New Orleans Pelicans, and Chicago Bulls is under consideration, sources confirm. The possibility was first reported by The Athletic.Tomas Satoransky, Lonzo Ball, and DeVonte Graham are among names who have come up, per SNY sources. The possibility of a Bulls-Pelicans deal without the Hornets that would send Ball to the Bulls and Satoransky to the Pelicans has also been under consideration

He was beyond terrible in the draft coverage. It was clear that he knew very little about the players being chosen.
