Vet Targets (Earl Watson, Mo Williams)

[Ha Seung-Boumtje-Boumjte]

Maybe a distraction from Dame bullshit would be good on this Holiday. How about discussing veteran players who may be past their prime but can contribute to establishing a positive culture within the team?

Dame has often cited how Earl Watson mentored him and helped him grow in his younger years, along with Mo Williams, although maybe he contributed to Dame's chucking habits. Jared Dudley with the young Nets is the quintessential example. While his on-court contributions may have been limited, he took players under his wing, brought confidence and defense (even on bad wheels), and trolled the shit out of Ben Simmons.

I thought Corey Joseph would have been a great fit for Scoot before the Warriors signed him. His high character would have been a valuable asset to guide our young guards and contribute to our team culture.

Which veteran players do you believe could have a positive impact on our team's culture (specifically the backcourt)?

I'd have to roll with Damian Lillard as a backcourt mentor.

He'd be great at teaching our players self-promotion and hypocritically running from the grind.

what more could a tanking team ask for?

 

[riverman]

My serious answer...Andre Miller

 

[BrianFromWA]

Iguodala is UFA (unless he signed yesterday and I didn't see it). Good culture, ringzz cred, defensive and role-minded. Doesn't need to play.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

We'll have Kyle Lowry...

Do we have the roster spots to spend on an Udonis Haslem-style coach-masquerading-as-a-player? If so, maybe bring Wesley Matthews back? Danny Green? Or perhaps our own Justise Winslow, if nobody offers him more than the minimum.

I have to laugh because there was a tweet this morning that said the Blazers offered Lillard to the Heat straight up for Udonis Haslem and Riley turned it down.

How about a slightly washed Thad Young?

How about a slightly washed Thad Young?

He used to win hustle awards regularly. Works for me. I'm wondering who would be a good point guard mentor for Scoot. Maybe if a bullshit Heat deal goes through we could convince Lowry to stay. Probably a long shot.

Anyone on our team older than 28 should be signed to be on-court assistant coach

My serious answer...Andre Miller

i love this; he’s a million years old but can sit on the bench and coach Scoot while he rests.

How about Chauncey Billups? He was pretty good.

How about Chauncey Billups? He was pretty good.

He’d make a fine third assistant coach

We need a couple really solid veteran guys to help mellow out the locker room. Guys that people respect.

 

[illmatic99]

We'll have Kyle Lowry...

This is the answer if Miami is involved. Getting a vet guard who is at every game and practice is an absolute must

need a liason between coach and player

Yeah, I'm actually not opposed to getting Lowry because I think he'd be a good dude to have in the locker room..... but I also think maybe we should send out Simons. Let Lowry be the backup.

I'm really thinking we should explore sending Simons to Brooklyn and Herro to San Antonio... or vice versa.

What would we think of a guy like Kevin Love in the deal? Older, crafty on the boards, hasn't been an off-court problem, plus the hometown return aspect.
