agree... there is nothing out there worth cutting a guy who has worked to earn this spot. Now is the time to let them play and see what we have.
Good post, Go. I agree as well. If anything, I really like Spencer Dinwiddie and Yogi Ferrell the most of anyone available (have to see how the year plays out but I still think the chances are low that both Rose and Jennings return next year--Dinwiddie/Ferrell would be great understudies/building blocks to have and develop in the DL with a good chance to make next year's club/great insurance in case either Rose, Jennings or both don't return) but there are issues with the idea: (1) Dinwiddie's already done the DL thing and may now look to make some real money in Europe (I wouldn't blame him--how long should he be expected to wait for an opportunity? Chicago's crazy to cut him imo--they're at 14 now. I mean cut him if a no brainer comes along but why cut him to stay at 14? Is the little bit of guaranteed money they'd have to give him that big of a deal?? We gave guaranteed money to Plumlee and N'Dour. We gave Amundson guaranteed money and cut him, not to mention Dinwiddie's 10x the talent Lou Amundson is.. Bad look on their part imo. Very cheap...And on that talent alone, he shouldn't have been cut anyway. A good part of me thinks Dinwiddie's > Jerian Grant). Ferrell may opt for the DL though--I could see him excelling there kinda like Patty Mills/Bryce Cotton did--never really earned Cotton an NBA gig somewhere like he deserved though; (2) we're finalized now and I agree--I like the roster as is too. I don't see an easy cut now to make room for a waived player (again though, I'm in the minority on this but I would cut Sasha in a heartbeat for either guy but it's not gonna happen. He's Phil's guy and to his credit, he's played well this preseason, so that's that).
Not convinced Archie Goodwin is any better than Justin Holiday btw. He's a few years younger but Holiday's still fairly young and might have more overall talent. Holiday's intriguing -- I wanna see him established as part of this rotation starting game 1 tonight.
Also not convinced Mitch McGary is any better than Plumlee/Hernangomez. We've already got this type of player covered with those two I'm thinking.
