Getting Portis and DJ lessen my annoyance for the Pat deal.

Anyone know anything about the guy we just gave the two way deal to?

PG that we had on the Herd last year that showed some promise. Hard to translate G League stats because, well, it's basically YMCA ball, but he scored 21 PPG on 48.6/40.7/78.8 taking almost 7 threes a game. Could do worse.

Defensive big. He's loooooooooong. Active as hell defensively and showed some flash as a potential stretch 4. He's turning 24 in January IIRC but he's still raw. It's an interesting move.

I love Portis on this team. Starting to feel a little better again after the fiasco.

Theoretically he'll work very well...but he's an idiot and a ball-stopper. Going to have to break some bad habits.

wanted bryn on the magic... great pick up

Like both pickups today. Can always use an elite shooter off the bench, even if that’s all he does. And given the rest of the bench, getting a strong wing defender in Craig was nice.

We need one more ball handler and a legit backup big and we're good. This team is easily better than last year. 

EDIT - Then again, I'm not sure on the roster totals or $$$ so I don't know whether or not we can even do that.

So the roster is set then at 14 and the 2 two way guys due to the hard cap. It's a good team, folks.

You should be able to find an Alex Caruso type back up PG.

Holliday is playing 30-35 minutes

Middleton and Giannis with "PG" duties take some as well.

[titans0021]

Basically the Ersan deal. Fine with that.

[Packerraymond]

Should still be the favorite in the East so long as Harden doesn't end up in Brooklyn. Don't see us beating the Lakers though on paper, unless we get some decent growth out of Donte.

That Caruso role is basically Donte's there. We're hardcapped and, unless we move DJ Wilson, we're set at what we've got now. 14 roster and 2 two-way. We have enough guys that can handle the ball, it's just more of an insurance situation. 

[beekay414]

Jrue Holiday | DJ Augustin | Jaylen Adams
Donte DiVincenzo | Bryn Forbes | Sam Merrill
Khris Middleton | Pat Connaughton | Torrey Craig | Thanasis Antetokounmpo
Giannis Antetokounmpo | DJ Wilson | Jordan Nwora | Mamadi Diakite
Brook Lopez | Bobby Portis

Portis is more of a PF but he's the only non-Giannis/Lopez that has size to play the 5 so I put him there for DC purposes. In reality, when he's on the court, one of BroLo or Giannis will be to and they'll play the 5.
