Shamet is positioning himself as a very high level 3&D guard. Is he better than Divo at this point? IDK but you have to keep him.

Honestly I love Deuce but he might be the guy I look to move and not throw 15-20M at. I'm just not sure this team is the best place for him. He brings challenges with his inability to run point and could probably fetch you a really good return. This team needs a real backup floor general behind Brunson whether it's Kolek or Alvarado or someone else. Hard to fit Deuce in the picture with that reality and with how good Shamet is with better defensive size.

Shamet and Mitch must get locked up and will cost less IMO.

Gotta keep Mitch, IDC if he only plays 40 games a year, he's a DPOY in the playoffs. that could have been a finals matchup and he was key against Jokic and even Murray.

Deuce is expendable IMO, we haven't even missed him. Shamet is a shooter and it seems he plays better with rhytm and more minutes. and his defense is underrated. He's really looking like the DDV lite I thought he could be finally.

That being said I don't think Deuce would get 15m, seems more like a 10-11m MLE ish guy. There's not much more upside there so I think teams would pay him for what he is, which is a solid, but undersized 2 guard. B/c Deuce just isn't a PG, the team runs so much better with Kolek at Point.

but we can also just keep Deuce for 1.5 more years and let him walk if anything. sometimes a guy has more value as a player than a trade piece.

What are you talking about? Numbers are from Statmuse
DDV offensive rating 120.7 defensive rating 113.8
Shamet offensive rating 132.1 defensive rating 118.O

DDV is Laundry Shamet lite, if anything

Fúck that. I want Mitch to be our dirty little secret. Keep those contract offers nice and low...then hopefully pay him more under the table ala Joe Smith.

Brunson is so freaking good! He continues to amaze me! Took over that 2nd OT! So blessed to have him on our team! 42 points!!!

Mikal owes the Captain some free Chipotle for saving him in that OT even though I don't think you should make that type of call with 0.3 secs left. Not like the guy was in position to tip it back in or impact the play in any way so why call that?! Bad call but I actually thought this officiating crew was one of the better ones we've had this season. And kudos to Mikal for knocking down that last 3! But we can't have these type of games from him especially when we are shorthanded! 8 shots in 49 minutes is not acceptable!

KAT was great! I know he fouled out but I liked his aggressiveness! He seemed to get energized after the stitches too. I think we are too hard on him honestly. He leads the league in double doubles, hasn't bitched about his decreased role and still made the All-Star team! I'm rooting for KAT! I've seen signs he's starting to figure it out again.

How about Big Country 2.0! Crossed over and blocked the Joker!! Poked the ball from Murray in OT! Nice minutes from Clarkson! I like him as an emergency 10th man. Shammy with another big game! My pick to win the 3pt contest! Glad Diawara's ankle wasn't serious. That back up role is now his with Yabu gone.

8 IN A ROW AND REVENGE TOMORROW IN DETROIT!!!

Fun to see but what was joker thinking — that Mitch was going to hoist one?

Mitch is in a good spot right now

Shamet is clearly the better player. Superior defender and more consistent shooter.

AND Shamet is already on the team! This FO has always looked to upgrade talent not move back or laterally. Y’all need to forget The Big Ragu and embrace the Big Motza….he can ball

15M will be the full MLE when Deuce is a FA. Someone will offer him that IMO. He's a truly elite 3 point shooter (45%) and plays high level, aggressive POA defense.

I don't agree with your last statement on Deuce. I agree with the sentiment overall, like with Towns or Mitch, but Deuce stock is high and could probably fetch you a really good player at a different position or a solid 1st round asset, and the team almost functions just as well with Shamet at the backup 2.

i agree, gotta keep him at all costs within reason. We are a great fit for him too because we dont need him to start and play 70 games or starter minutes. we just need him for the playoffs mainly.
