I still think we will end up trading THT/DAJ/Kent/2RPs for something just do not know who.

Unbelievable. Ownership got cheap on AC, DS, Kieff, and Wes, and now Wes is picked up by the Bucks, adding wing depth to an already superior roster. What an annoying season so far.


Wes Matthews was garbage for us

Wes wasn't needed last year considering our depth of length on the perimeter, but he and Kieff would be pretty valuable this season.

Letting Caruso go was an idiotic move. He'd be the perfect starting 2 guard. Dennis had his good moments and his bad but if we could have signed him to a 1/$8M team player option type deal, we should have. AC at the SG spot & a bench of Dennis, Monk, THT, Melo, Dwight + using the mMLE on a big wing instead of Nunn would have made us so so so much better.

Mr Whiplash, I'm not sure how much of a difference he'd make right now but better than DJ.

1. We didn't get cheap on DS. We offered him a massive deal that he turned down.

2. We didn't get cheap on Kieff or Wes. They were both available for the minimum. We simply choose to use minimum spots we could have given to them on other players.

3. We did get cheap on AS. So you are 1 out of 4 correct.

My post was in reference to something in vasash's previous post, but I admit there's always something I could misinterpret.

How the (bleep) did Pelinka not sign Hartenstein??? He was available and Clippers got him for the min.

Instead he waited to sign old man DNPJordan.

Name value. Pelinka was trying to go name for name with Marks/Brooklyn.

We have to make some changes. But unfortunately we are so top heavy that it's hard to make trades.

Only pieces are basically THT/Nunn.

We gotta remember that vet mins count as 1.7m in salary aggregation, so if we’re trying to find salary fodder to attach to THT/Nunn’s 14.5m, it would take multiple vet min guys to get a certain deals done and then consider that in season trades where more than 2 players go out for 1 is harder to do since teams can’t roster more than 15 players in season (vs 20 in the offseason).

So for example, we would need a 5 for 1 trade to occur to have enough salary to bring in a 23m+ salaried player (like Buddy Hield for example). That type of trade can’t occur in season without a lot of roster upheaval occurring.

So that’s where I personally feel we could have given guys like Wes & Kieff a bit more than the vet min deals they fit elsewhere. We pay them a bit more than the vet mins they would get elsewhere, we either retain them as team needs or go find bigger needs using them as salary fodder.

For example, Kieff as our stretch 5 and Wes as an additional wing are both elements this team needs right now. Till then, it’s let’s pray THT’s wingspan helps him become a defensive wing that we can rely on. Till then, let’s hike Dwight keeps hitting 3s to be our stretch 5…if not, let’s get gimmicky again and get Bron to play the 5. But Kieff @3.5m per and Wes at 4.3m for example could have given us additional salary at the trade deadline if a deal needed rj get greased through. Instead, we gotta rely on a plethora of 1.7m vet min deals to get anything done.

THT/Jordan/Bazemore/2 2nd round picks for Will Barton? the salaries are a little bit off but I’m sure there is ways to make the salaries match.

Thanks for liking my idea, Nuggets might try dumping some players while this season is starting to look like a throw away for them with MPJ out and Murray who no one has any clue when he’s gonna return, they should look to make there run next year with a healthy Porter Jr and Murray back

Wesley Matthews was pretty bad for us last year, though. I much rather have Ellington. I don't think it's Matthews we miss on D, it's guys like Caruso/KCP. Even Dennis, while he got hunted by bigger guards/wings, in general his defensive effort was real consistent.

So you take Dennis/Caruso/KCP, then factor Kuz was also a high motor defender last year. It's those guys we miss in Vogel's schemes. Not old guys like Kieff/Wes. Kieff/Wes, looked slow and old most of last season. It was added depth, but they wouldn't change anything right now for us.

It's those younger legs like Kuz (25), Dennis (28) Caruso (26) KCP (28). All in athletic prime and willing to give 100% on D. Only guy who we have who is in athletic prime giving that kind of effort is Reaves. Mind you, the players I'm mentioning tend to regress in value in the playoffs. The Suns didn't respect any of them, and we paid for it. So a lot of this is regular season talk. Depth vs having a star. Right now, I think it's clear we miss the depth. I also think Pelinka has to do a better job at getting at least 1 (preferably 2) other starting level players. We don't have a single dude that would start on any other contender playing on the big 3.

2 guards in the West:

Booker
Klay/Poole
Mitchell
CJ
Hardaway Jr.
Paul George

Etc.

It's not a group that you feel we should have felt good about an unknown like THT taking on, or guys like Monk/Ellington/Bradley.

KCP or Danny Green at least had the ability to match up with those guy on D, and fit in on O. We need one starting level player, badly. Keep saying it. We went into the season with an unknown (THT), a player cut by Warriors (Bradley) a backup for a bad Pistons team (Ellington) and someone not kept by a lottery Charlotte team (Monk). We didn't address the 2 guard position next to Westbrook at all, and it's a key position as we lost a key player in KCP.

This was my fear trading out so much depth and not retaining others. WB = KCP/Kuz/*Trezz/21st, and we didn’t re-sign AC/Dennis. That’s a LOT of depth that minimum deals cannot replace. I don’t see how we can upgrade without including THT at this point. So we roll with him or he goes in a trade. Not many options with so many minimum deals.

We ain't winning #18 within the next few years because of the Warriors. I'd say tear up the team and trade AD and Bron while they still have value. Realistically speaking, could the 2019 Lakers beat this Warriors team with a healthy Klay and without the 3-month hiatus? Exactly.

So the problem right now is not just with the Lakers but with the competition. We need to be thinking 10 steps ahead and be proactive. Reshape the front office. Get rid of the incompetence. Let's plan for longterm. Forget planning to win another ring with Bron in next couple years cuz it ain't happening.

We are not winning anything in remaining lebron era and there after if we build around AD
