Showtime reunion just happened in Hawaii.. Maybe they can get Coop to lace-up and be our missing "3 and D" guy...


Coop had great defense, for some reason he could not guard Andrew Toney.


you remember that factoid too? Andrew Toney was the 76'er that was, at least at times, their most explosive player. And, yep, when he got going Coop had no chance.

I love this move! He received way to much hate. This board way overreacted. I don't love him at $20 million. But I certainly do at $2!

Apparently he’s got issues getting along with teammates, and his game is a bit too much chuck and not enough set up to be a pure PG (doesn’t make good pass reads off the pick and role for example, thinks like a ball handling two), but when AD and Bron were out for extended periods, he led the team offensively and kept them above water, and was part of the number one defense in the league. Too bad we couldn’t get Caruso Kuz and KCP back too.

He played great with Germany.

I'm happy we have him for the minimum, but I also wonder what would've happened if he had taken the 84M deal. Would we have made the WB mistake?

Dennis played in Bud's system with Atlanta (2013-2018)

24 minutes
13 points on 43% shooting
2.5 rebounds
5 assists

He was probably brought in for his familiarity with the new offense.

Ditto. I wonder how much of a proxy Beverly, Reaves and Toscano can be. That’s a smaller trio with less shooting capacity. But perhaps they can bring a similar defensive intent and intensity.

Wasn’t the lineup of AD Lebron and DS pretty good in 2021?

I mean they went up 2 1 against the Suns until AD injury.

If the Lakers can find subs for KCP, maybe they be decent. Reeves or Bev might be able to fill that one.

Finding someone like Caruso could be difficult.

I remember him having such tunnel vision when going up court.. He woudl jump up from 8-10ft and then look confused and pass the ball somewhere (when I think he should have taken a shot at the rim)... it was dangerous because only rookies do it as often as him

I am very happy for both him and us.. his athletic ability and speed are sorely missed on this team... Plus we get another player with a chip on his shoulder.. something to prove...

I’ve seen this narrative a little too often. Not really singling you out fam, but I’m using it as a jump off.

You know why we won in the bubble? Bubble AD & Bubble Bron were healthy & rested AD & Bron before the playoffs. Folks keep going back to bubble AD like dude was some unicorn, but it’s right there in the name: bubble! Dude was kept in a bubble for 4 months before the season was unpaused and the playoffs started.

The reason it was won&done for us after the bubble is cause Bron & AD can’t stay healthy or reach the postseason with a full tank of gas under the traditional regular season. The reason they can’t stay healthy is due to roster construction and not applying the “luxury” of fielding a deep & talented enough team. More burden is placed on Bron & AD to keep us afloat during the regular season and they arrive into late April taxed.

Roster construction has always been trash. You put Bron at full time point gawd and give him playoff Rondo as the only perimeter oriented playmaker. Thank gawd there was 4 month layoff Rondo before playoff Rondo showed up and showed out!

Schro was supposed to be that guy for Bron as well, but proved he didn’t have that type of gravity to place Bron more offball or on the bench during the regular season. There is a reason Rob keeps over correcting the roster with a plethora of guards. You can’t have Bron run fulltime point during the entirety of the season like he did during our 2019/20 title season.

Russ was supposed to be that guy last year for Bron, but our roster refused to ACknowledge how much of a luxury it is to field a deeper team.

If Schro is to work this time around, he most likely comes off the bench and be the back up point to Bron like his role was in Okc to Russ, Cp3 and SGA. If Russ remains the starter, he needs to justify Bron offball more.

Meanwhile Damien and TB need to keep AD away from the 5 role during the regular season. If that happens, we get “bubble AD” back in the playoffs this year. This is why, I really want Myles here.

I was one of the biggest Schroder haters on this board but it was always about not being able to trade him at 20 million per.

At minimum wages it's a no brainer and I hope he does well for us.

Just don't want to see us get stupid if he has a good season.

Wouldnt you agree that part of the reason they ran out of gas and injuries caught up was the short/non existent break between bubble and 20-21 season? That team still had good enough depth to carry out the RS, and then unleash James-Davis in the playoffs. Sadly, they couldnt stay healthy. 21-22 was a completely different scenario, we banked on a 3rd star and Westbrooks ability to bring average teams into the playoffs. But that worked out bad.

James and Davis healthy come April and we have a shot, thats our formula. But can we get into top 8 with them 'coasting' or this team needs them to go all out?

Bev is better than Caruso defensively.

@Goodrich25: No doubt bro. The quick turn around did impact our health but I felt if Schro had embraced being Bron’s primary backup on the 2nd unit, it wouldn’t have gassed Bron out as much imho.

Last year if we had kept AC, Schro & Kieff via our bird rights (& willingness to pay the tax) then our title shot would have been more legitimate imho.

Same here. Agree 100%.
But some here will still complain.
I think he’s a huge steal for 2.6 million. HUGE!!!
And he wants redemption.
I think of Howard in 2020. Dude was revitalized.
Dennis is only 29.
I wish him the best.
At least with Russ, Bev and Dennis, we have three tough dudes in the backcourt.

I’m guessing that we would be trying to trade him instead of Russ. Pelinka is all about making mistakes to cover mistakes.

In Phoenix he would be battling Shamet for playing time behind CP3 and Payne.

PHX would have given him more opportunities because there not log jammed with guards like the Lakers, he knew what he was signing up for when he signed here with Bev/Westbrook/Nunn trying to fight for PT.

I generally agree, but it's worth remembering that we were 21-6 in '21 when Davis got hurt. We'd had a relatively soft schedule to that point, and the rest of the roster was better. On the other hand, we were offering Schroder a winning lottery ticket to extend for four years. The Schroder experience wasn't as bad as we tend to remember, and we often let the subsequent collapse color our memories. I admit that I'm guilty of this.

I only hope there is a trade to moves Russ otherwise not sure the point here. The team has no true wings other than Lebron there is a void for guys 6'7"-6'9" that can guard multiple positions. Instead a repeat of the 6'4" and under league.
