Pondexter would be ok, but i'd prefer a reserve with a little more firepower, even if he has some chucker in him. Pondexter is just an inferior Green. I'd rather have somebody like Marco who brings something different to the table. that's why i'd prefer a more reckless offensive player like Bazemore, Gordon, Thornton, etc
I don't see the Spurs making those guys wait that long to sign. Was thinking more along the lines of trying to do a deal today before they signed tomorrow.
Of course, tomorrow is the press conference for Aldridge so I guess they want that to dominate the news cycle.
Babbitt came to terms on a deal with Pels for 2 years, 2.5 mil.
I'd really like to take a flier on Ben Gordon tbh. i'm really disappointed with how the Pistons ruined what could have been a decent career for him
Damn Babbitt hit 51% from 3 last year and 55% from the corner
Tbh, this guy called Aldridge signing the morning of July 4th, the night before it went down.
So did a lot of people
in for later
Why? So everyone would keep complaining about his poor defense?
Agree - although possible, hard to imagine this dragging out past tomorrow. Especially on the shoulders of the Deandre Jordan debacle.
I would rather give Glenn Robinson III a chance then any of these washed up wings. I do like the idea of Ben Gordon in the Neal/Marco shooter role. Cant be any worse defensively and he can actually dribble and drive to the basket.
He's a restricted FA thus the Nuggets are in no hurry to offer him a contract until he signs an offer-sheet since they don't know his market price.
Ben Gordon doesn't seem like the type of guy content w/ being the 9th man while playing for a vet min. If Patty was traded then he could have been the designated gunner but it seem like Patty isn't going anywhere & w/ the acquisition of Mccallum there is no need for a combo guard on the roster.
he hasn't been relevant in a while. he'll take what he can get
He's cashing checks as we speak b/c he is getting payed not to play by the Magic.
I'm calling a second deal with Atlanta, for the of it. They had to get the first half out of the way and are still working on the second.
if he accepted a bench role for the magic im sure he'd take a bench role for the spurs
If a deadline falls a weekend/holiday, the deadline is bumped to the next business day.
Prince/Butler are basically good for spot minutes aka the Bonner role. Dorrell Wright couldn't get off the crappy Blazers bench that Marco torched in 2014 even though he was a seasoned vet thus I'm not sure what to make of him as a rotation player on a contender. I remember hearing him say that he didn't like driving to the basket despite his above average athleticism b/c he was trying to save his knee which is why he became a spot up shooter, lol! Rasual Butler is basically James Jones 2.0 except he just a bit more athletic & a bit less lethal from outside.
My choice would be Jason Richardson (as long as he has recovered for his knee injury) since he can score in a variety of ways (shoot the rock , postup or take it to the hoop) He would be Michael Finley 2.0 if he has a career resurrection ala Vince w/ the Mavs. Otherwise, Dorrell Wright could be wooed by LMA to join him at the Alamo for the vet min.
J-Rich still got hops, just ask D-West:
He turned down contenders to sign w/ the Magic last season b/c he was offered 9 mill rather than the vet min. In any case, Pop can't play Gordon/Patty in the same back-court since they would get eaten alive on defense. Gary Neal got minutes w/ the Spurs b/c Patty wasn't a rotation player at that time otherwise it would have been a disaster.
Dorrell Wright wants to go to Miami, he said it on a radio show or something last week IIRC..not sure if they'll actually take him, though..
Yeesh. They just signed Gerald Green and picked up Winslow. Don't see a spot for him in MIA. He shot well enough percentage wise from 3 past couple years I think, but he wasn't very good.
Crabb was getting minutes over him & Kyle Anderson dominated Crabb.
What about Barnes? That way we have the Kawhi Killer on our team.
Barnes was traded to Memphis, IIRC... they can probably use his outside shooting
Beno welcome back
