I think Deuce is gone. Especially if we sign Westbrook. I think Kolek is a better fit with his ability as a floor general. 2nd unit shaping up. Hopefully Mitch is brought back.

Duece is making less than 5 million per and his great value for what he provides and at his age. No am I moving Duece to make room for Westbrook....

I think Westbrook commands more attention from the defense. Deuce gets to the line on average less than once a game. I think we need a player who will be more aggressive, get to the line more often. Help put the other team in foul trouble.

Westbrook and Clarkson in the same backcourt are too ineffecient from 3 and wildly inconsistent to play together. Also, Westbrook only averaged 3 free throw attempts per the last 2 years off the bench which is the same number as Clarkson. I think we are good with Clarkson. Duece is only 24 and for the production he gives us, is on a great contract for us. Also, Duece is also our best on ball defender...

Sounds like Westbrook now not an option —- I would say Clarkson/Deuce could be bench backcourt but who knows what trades could be coming.

Clarkson typically has the ball in his hands coming off the bench — for better or worse.

I look at it as if Deuce may start and Kolek-Clarkson-Hart off the bench.

Kolek - Clarkson - Hart - Mitch is a nice bench unit if you ask me.

Still more to shake out, I still want Horford.

I want Horford and his veteran min salary isnt far off the MLE. However Golden State just let Looney go and have then Non Taxpayer MLE which is almost 11mm more if they give it to him. Hard to pass that up. He is the perfect small ball 5 for that old ass team trying to make one last run.

My 2nd choice is Larry Nance Jr. Good rebounder and finisher who can stick a 3 and guard 4s and 5s. I think he is the perfect finishing piece for the bench here.

I thought he looked a little forked last year. Even if he is, a veteran minimum its no risk to us. He isnt that old, so he could be a wild card element that really helps.

I remember that game and looked it up. He was awful in the first half.
Finished the game with 25pts, shot 8-20 after a cold start and 3-7 from 3pt.
He got hot in the 2nd half.

Im not excited but if he a knick Im hoping for his success!
