It's time to find a PG

[julius]

I wonder how Trader Bob and Dunleavy were received.

To me it wouldn't be about winning, but about having enough players to prevent further Injuries.

If that's all, then the solution seems pretty simple: Work hard with Love to be able to play 12 minutes per game as your PG instead of a small off-guard.

Another G-league player who intrigues me: Max Abmas.

Ty Jerome

Price would be a 1RP

How many Nemhards are there?

Don’t you mean Darius Garland? Ha

No point in getting a PG in. We are not making the playoffs. Nor should we. We need as high of a pick This year along with youth progression. Even if that means playing Sharpe and Deni in a position where they handle the ball more, hopefully they progress in that skill for next year.

I feel like we do this type of thing every year though. I think we need to keep the goal of making the playin/Plaoffs.

We just need a stopgap. We have FOUR point guards already (not counting Love, because he's not a PG). A 10-day contract G-League guy (like Bouyea for the Suns) is what we need.

We still don't have enough talent. If Dame comes back 85%+ make a big trade with a lotto pick and Grant's contract that won't be as bad in the offseason with only a couple years left.

If we make the playoffs our 1st goes to Chicago. Completely pointless this year.

What’s Skylar Mays up to these days?

LOL

So, I'm guessing the plan is to do without PGs altogether (I don't count Caleb Love) and hope the experience improves the skills of players like Deni and Shaedon? Because if that isn't the plan, then why the fuck aren't we giving guys like Max Abmas a chance? He could be our Daniss Jenkins. Besides, I am so sick of us just turning the ball over on every other play. It would be nice to have somebody who can handle a press and not just commit unforced errors every time down. (BTW, Abmas is 3rd in the G-League in +/- per game and the two players above him have played 2 and 1 game respectively.)

Why? Because he used to put on a Blazers uniform and that’s the best we can do?

I still say Tristen Newton is worth a look. The UConn-ection.

Grrr
