I think there is a better chance Simmons returns to his career FT and shooting percentages if not betters them slightly with extreme focus on it this year than Brogdon helping them get over the hump. Simmons still brings that elite defense and playmaking along with very good rebounding to the table at worst. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Allen needs his own contract. Memphis desperately needs another perimeter player who can create. He'd be a good secondary ball-handler and primary perimeter shot creator. Also moves Brooks into more of a 3&D role that he is much better suited for. Biggest downside would be it'd lock us into a frail backcourt, but the good would definitely far outweigh the bad.

Agreed, but more than anything I dont want to see Tillman on the Cavs. Anywhere but the Cavs. Just send Brandon Clarke instead and keep the pick swap.

I thought that as long as we're under like $140.5M we'd be fine with what we brought back under the luxury tax rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that you'd just have Morant defend 2's and having JJJ/Valancunas also would make up for some of that lack of size with their rim protection, weren't you guys just the 6th best defensive team in the league?

Oh yeah, the system is good and we have solid defenders all around them. I'm confident we'd still be a top 10-12 team defensively, which is why I think the good outweighs the bad.

And with Sexton I don’t even think it’d be a huge issue. He’s only 6’1” but he has a 6’7” wingspan and is athletic. It just doesn’t work in Cleveland because Garland is also tiny and they didn’t have a ton of rim protection other than Allen who missed a good chunk of the season.

Meh I think Sexton's defensive woes are exaggerated. Garland/Sexton, particularly with very little rim protection, is just not a great duo defensively.
