Need lineups to split Randle, RJ and Brunson.

I can’t believe how many guys are against bringing in additional guard talent. I know we have a lot of depth, but I like the idea of lineups like the below.

Brunson, Donte, Grimes, Randle, Mitch

IQ, Barrett, Hart, Toppin, IHart

Thibs just needs how to figure it out and keep Randle and Brunson healthy.

He cannot be extended til later. Not sure why but I think date is Aug 1.

Also, it's a two way street. Since the FO has displayed competence, the players are willing to be flexible to allow the team to make other moves to strengthen the roster.
Feels weird, don't it?

It's just a huge win for the culture. You can see down in Philly that Harden wants out because Morey promised him a big deal last summer to get Harden to opt out and sign at a lower deal to make room for Trez and PJ. Now Morey is balking on the deal (after a 10 year relationship) and Harden's response is get me out of here.

Josh is showing a lot of trust in the organization and that will continue to pay dividends as long as they are honest.

and Hart is a guy who's going to keep adding wrinkles in his game. When his shot isnt falling he played great D, gets to the rim and ends up having a 12 rebound game.

I am all for locking up IQ/Hart and running this thing back a few times.

Stay away from these 2nd tier stars who get paid like MVPs. We building a nice program here

Agree, do not pay non-mvp level guys super-max
