Like your going to invest 60+ million in 2 guys who play the same position as your last yr lottery pick. Not to mention the PG position is a mess, and we have no sG

If you were given a Ferrari you'd complain the trunk is not big.
Give you Bentley you'd complain about the gas mileage,
Give you Tesla you'd complain about its range.
Give you a Prius you'd complain its too slow.
Give you a new escalade you'd complain it handles sloppy.

1. Both can shoot from the outside.
2. Both will move defense, Knox will have open looks. Same for Barrett, DSjr or anyone else.
3. Can trade for PG. Not sure you really need one. But lets assume so, you can trade. We have assets.
4. Unless you bring in AD via trade. Then its another problem.

Am i oppose to signing them both..Hell no, but those 2 would not be my first choice to pair together.

Marbury and Francis
Melo and Amare
Starks and Houston..

Can you name a championship team where that teams 2 best players played the same position..

They are very talented players, but to me, that's not a balance roster..

Kawhi is our new best friend...

Seriously though, I think we're stuffed - the idea of KD was he'd bring another max player with him. Now even if we did sign him, he's out for a year and will be diminished, so doubt any max player would want to sign up for that.

Factor in Kyrie doesn't want to be here, kemba doesn't want to be here, klay isn't leaving GS.

Rebuild via free agency is now over, it's time for the long, slow rebuild.

You should stop because your embarrassing yourself

Earl was primarily a sg than anything

Jordan is also a SG and pip was a sf/pf

Robinson is Center and duncan a PF/C.

But like I said, I'm not oppose to it, it just would not be my first choice.

Of course you'll argue the nuances to defend your vomit. Earl was a PG before he came to NY. He played off the ball in NY more. Duh.
Pippen played 3 postions, he was a point forward at times. Bulls PG were not the primary ball handlers, they were off the ball sharp shooters. BJ Armstrong, Kerr, Porter, Paxton.......none strong penetraters, great outside shoot. Pip and Jordan were wings.
When Robinson retired, Duncan became the 5.
Siakim and Leonard are both wings.

It goes without saying no two players can play the same role at the same time. But your saying that Durant and Kawhi can't play together? That's absurd. NBA has many teams with "Positionless" players. Durant at 7 feet was able to play multiple positions. INside or out.

A lot more driven than he gets credit for.

thats him running to gamestop to pick up the new Fortnight

If running to play fortnite gets him ripped, all for it, lol.

These kids have never known a world without the internet. I feel bad for them. It does improve your hand/eye coordination, but you can spend too much time playing of course. That South Park episode on Warcraft was spot on, and hilarious.

Havent played any online games in almost 10 years, not much offline either. When the tech feels like its stagnating, I wait until it gets interesting. The PS5 looks very interesting.

I do think we should try and sign a role player or two though as next years FA class is diabolical

Starters
DLo
RJ
Knox
Jackson
Jordan

Bench
Mudiay
Frank
Dotson
Vet attached to Pick
Mitch

Emphasize defense, passing to the open man, and transition offense
