Not saying we be rash but it's not time to be complacent. Strike now if the opportunity presents itself. Get Murray for his defense and he is shooting well from 3 this season. DDV can start but Murray as the third guard is better for the team. We can still acquire a PF/C for the stretch run.
Complacency vs. Jumping the gun. I'd like to see DDV get a chance to keep his job. Already has that B-ball ESP going with JB. See how OG changes things, then make a trade if neccessary. Trading with another division rival wont be cheap.
Not making a trade just to see DDV can be a starter is not a valid basketball reason
It's a valid reason if he's showing it already. He was a starter on the championship Bucks before he got hurt, so this isnt his first rodeo.
In my scenario DDV still will play 25-30 mins, but the team will be deeper and more versatile. And he still may start. Time to stop bargain shopping. Pay what is needed to make the team balanced and versatile. Other teams may beat us to it
What bargain shopping? DDV is already on the roster. Im not convinced yet that it should be Murray. Especially if the Hawks are already looking to trade him. Didnt take long.
Well let's see what happens. I vote we build on the energy now.
Murray might be the right move, but I'd like to know why they would be so willing to send him to NY, and after so little time. Even though JB is doing a better job of sharing the rock, after his ballstopping at the beginining of the season. Like Trae, he's more of a scoring PG.
Was playing next to a scoring PG affecting Murray's game? If it was, Murray might have the same chemistry issues in NY.
Why we shouldnt take the chemistry DDV and JB are showing for granted. We could still use a good backup center. See if Deuce is the answer at backup PG, or anyone else on the roster that Thibs wants to try out. Someone good to help take the load off of Brunson from time to time.
The pint of Murray wanting to have the ball in his hand, was my point on another thread. Feel that everyone, including myself, has focused on the good fit next to Brunson based on his defense but has ignored the bad fit based on Murray wanting to be the lead ball handler as well.
Tha is why I keep saying that so far Devo has fit extremely well. Not shy and taking advantage of starting role opportunity. Impressed with anyone doing that in the MECCA.
Do agree we may need an elite shot creator so my vote is for SG. but seems like no clear fit or option is out there. Maybe small moves for backup C and another vet for bench. Totally against bringing in the $60 million dollar man for Randle. Who just outplayed him.
