We don't have to sign him any longer than this season

If he'd rather pass then so be it

But if we sign him to a cheap deal, not the worse thing in the world

More than likely means the exodus of Acy, which would mean Phil gave up a 2015 pick for nothing

It's only been a few games but so far LT has played some inspired ball. It's been crazy how much of a difference LG, LT and Amundson have made to the way the team has played. Not spectacular, but just giving effort and giving a damn. Solid team ball. They move the ball and hustle on D. Just makes a huge difference.

You can't look at it that way. The key to success is not being afraid to cannibalize your own for a chance to improve the team. Just keep getting better and don't get married to a player just because. If Lance fits a role better than Acy so be it. Same goes for if the Knicks signed JaMychal Green. It's about improving in every way possible. I'm not saying that Phil has to sign LT but if he decided to do it then he would be saying he felt Lance was a guy he felt could be a useful part of the team next year.

One has to be a forward thinking GM

And understand there will always be Lances and Lous out there

Lance was once a Thunder and he was once a Pelican

Lou was once on every team in the league

You don't have to squander assets to acquire them

Or diminish existing ones to do the same

You're a prisoner of the moment and will always see everything as delectable and delicious

No matter if the sour or bitter is soon to surface

YOu want us to believe that it's a bad thing to be giving minutes to guys on 10 day contracts so we can see what they can do? GTFOH!!! I'm so tired of your routine. These guys will be low cost reserves so what's the big deal??? No one is talking about long term commitments. We still have the other prospects on the roster but for now it's clear this mix of guys are able to produce on a higher level. Doesn't mean we're diminishing the young prospects. They have to learn and watching these other guys execute on the higher level will be good for them and their development. Now they can see that the system does work and just how to actually do it.

plus you have to realize we have had a really soft schedule... NO without davis, the sixers without noel, hornets without kemba and okc without durant....

The biggest issue with the Triangle is that not everyone can excel playing in it. We just struggled thru a disastrous start and there were those even yourself trashing the offense and now with guys who are castoffs this team is showing that you can in fact play solid team ball in this system with players who understand that the ball has to move and who also understand when it's time to shoot or cut. If you find a player who is actually able to excel in this system then you have to give him some serious consideration. Especially when those players are also defending as well. I'm not sure what the hell you're talking about but it sounds like some dumb ass crap you're spewing.

i'm ok with a contract to finish the year but beyhond that he's gonna need to keep this up for a full season...

The dude was not getting consistent minutes, that is why his numbers looked bad. He is now getting minutes and playing for a contract; why freaking not? Pay the dude. He is a good kid with a strong head on his shoulders that all of his coaches love to have. Most importantly, he and the other dudes are all following Carmelo's leadership...
