Pelinka needs to be calling and texting him everyday to come back and play for us. He'd be the perfect PG that this team desperately needs |
If Rob agreed to convert to becoming a JW, maybe Darren could strike a deal?

| We should pick up Lance. He has familiarity and would at least bring some fire to the game. He could guard wings better than KCP as well. |

What we're they thinking? It means a lot when armchair GMS like you and I see obvious team needs and the front office doesn't.
I was screaming for Hollis-Jefferson and Sefolosha for the minimum to be wing defenders until Iguodala comes.
I was screaming for a guy like Trey Burke or Derrick Rose instead of Rondo and Cook.
I'm nearly convinced Pelinka and Co. don't know what they're doing.
Signing Dudley made sense. I get it. But the other moves (short of Bradley and Daniels) didn't.
How can me and you see these gaping needs but the front office can't?
As soon as Davis came, I saw the need for a third scorer who could get his own and shoot catch and shoot jumpers. Also, damn near everyone on this board saw that this team was in dire need of tall wing defenders, that they were relying completely on James, Pope, and Dudley to defend the SFs of the league.
What the hell were they thinking?
Note: All isn't lost. This team will still be good, but not nearly as good as they could've been if built properly.

Yeah. I was screaming all FA for them to get a wing defender. We have too many guys who can only defend guard positions, and some who are so small they can only defend PG sized players.
There were a plethora of 6'7-6'9 sized younger defenders that were available but eschewed them for a stable of 6'-6'4 sized guards. Why???

I was hoping we could bring him back because of his relationship with Vogel but Lance signed a 1yr/$4 million contract to play in China this summer. That's a lot more than the Lakers could pay him.

100% agreed. This team is still very good. Still championship worthy. But this team could have been substantially better. I like the Green, Dudley, Cook, McGee, Daniels and Boogie* signings. But giving KCP that money was short sighted. Even if you want to show loyalty to Klutch, how bout show loyalty to it's most important clients: LeBron and AD. We lack the following areas:
a young energy big (Jordan Bell)
3 & D sg/sf (Matthews, Shumpert, Seflosha)
young wing defenders (Stanley, RHJ)
an attacking guard (Rose, Rivers) |

I always felt Lance was a better (but older) version of KCP all along.

Derrick Rose or Trey Burke instead of Cook and Rondo would've been enough.
I'm all for Melo if Kuzma is traded though, but he won't fill any current needs.

I am all for any player who is not KCP. Lance, sure- as long as it means we are getting rid of KCP.
