NYRaider Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 How did Kira Lewis Jr play last season? Was one of my favorite guys during the draft process. I know I give you a ton of crap @MookieMonstah but I actually like your team. Hopefully this year you'll finally start to build some stability.

NYRaider Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Quote Jordan Schultz: Multiple teams have expressed interest in Danny Green, inc the #Cavs, #Celtics and #Pelicans, per league sources. DG averaged nearly 10 PPG on 41 percent 3s last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 @Kirill traded Hoford to buy Kemba out and pay him $20M to play for the Knicks. Then gave up the #16 pick for future picks. Presti doing work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can get into the lane at will and is a pretty good passer. Definitely got starter potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't an awful 3pt shooter last year, but you want the guys surrounding Zion to be able to knock down catch and shoot 3s at a good rate. I agree though, he has potential.

Millsap would be PERFECT, but I think he's probably signing with a contender. And I know I already said it in the offseason thread, but I would love Reggie Jackson on this team. It would mean Kira would barely get any minutes, but with Reggie starting and Graham being our 6th man I think we would have a great shot at the playoffs. The spacing would be greatly improved and neither are terrible defenders. It's unlikely he signs with us since all signs point to him returning to the Clippers, but a man can dream. Jackson/Graham/Kira NAW/3M3/Didi Ingram/Naji/Temple Zion/Millsap JV/Hayes Thats a solid lineup in my opinion.

People are too impatient...We have a young roster, we don't need to blow everything up or completely change the roster. Let the young kids develop.

Breesus mode Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 My only concern is Zion's back up at the moment. I like our team's chemistry and balance so much more than last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team should compete for a 6-7 seed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands we are going to pretty comfortably have one of the worst benches in the league. I like the upside of our young guys but expecting rookies and Kira Lewis to play big roles for a team wanting to make the playoffs is not a good bet. If we had other proven talent around them on the bench it would be fine for a couple of them to get heavy minutes, but counting on all those guys is likely going to be a problem Edited August 6, 2021 by amac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MookieMonstah Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Even if you think our bench is worse, our entire roster fits together so much better. Bledsoe was a legit negative player. Adams was a terrible fit. We got two upgrades at those positions. Lonzo - Graham is a slight downgrade but they also play different positions. Young guys improving will be huge. Hayes and NAW both took huge steps last year. All I needed to see out of Didi was him dry humping Luka at half court on that one possession and I was sold.
