Yeah, we're deep overall, but what's lacking is that one athlete on the wing that will dog you on defense and preferably stretch the floor on offense.

Anyone worthwhile left on the FA market? I would be bit disappointed to start the season with Barnes getting the bulk of the minutes at SF again.

It's shame we couldn't make a play on Ariza...he would have been a perfect fit.

Xavier Henry? He's athletic, can shoot the 3, decent defender, young (23).

He's not ideal, but the the FA pool is shrinking, he's one of the better wings still out there.

He's a bit small for the position, no?

Is Marion still available? IF we could get him for the MLE, he could be a solid stop-gap.

F*cking Thornton, man. Dude was such a black hole on offense.

IF Doc could reign him and get his head straight, I'd be all for it. But I'm just confident that he'll ever really 'get it'.

Their most desperate need is a long athletic 3 who can defend the Durants and Lebrons of the league. This should have been priority #1. Ariza would have been perfect fit bc of his defense and ability to spot up, but was obv gonna be too expensive. There are not many left on the market, but I think like someone mentioned Xavier Henry would be nice. Athletic, can do a bit of everything and young. Marion on a short deal would be solid as well.

Bullock is fine for the 3&D spot at the three. Dudley will also have a bounce back year.

:oldlol:

The dude who would sit fadeaway jumpers over Kyle Korver is considered athletic now

I'm just glad we got a solid back up Center.

That was the one thing that we really, really needed.

Should have drafted Cle. Early, instead of drafting another SG. The team already has Redick and Crawford.

Personally thought McDaniels should have been the pick. Early is better from 3, but McDaniels is projected as a better defender. Ariza would have been a perfect fit basically, but there was almost no way to get him. Idk Washington would have done a S&T for him and they would have needed to clear a lot of salary to sign him outright.

Derrick Williams is on a 1 year 6million dollar deal could try trade for him maybe.

It'd be funny to see Griffin & Derrick Williams playing together.

Can Williams play 3 effectively?

Sometimes it's all mental with him, he zones out way to much but when he's on he can beast.

I have a feeling that Ariza will be a bad fit in Houston. But would have been a great fit with the Clippers.
