I guess we could make Maxi that starter that only gets 18-20 mpg and closes too, we just wouldn’t see him a lot throughout the game that way.

There are a few names that are FA (some RFAs) that I would like to think are somewhat gettable. I’d like to get a starter quality and a semi-starter quality guy. Mix and match any 2 of:

Grant Williams
Rui Hachimura
Obi Toppin
PJ Washington 
Jarred Vanderbilt

Some of those names are more gettable than others, but if we could get 2 of them where 1 starts and the other plays high minutes (both in the game together a good amount), I think that would really make the engine purr.

He is asking for more $$ than he's worth on a extension.  He's not getting the minutes he was last year as he played much better and won game 7 vs the Bucks with 27 pts off the bench. He missed 2 crucial FTs that would have won the game when he told Donovan Mitchell I believe it was that he was going to make both of them, and they lost in OT.  Maybe a change of scenary would do him good.

Point - Luka
Guard - Kyrie
Guard - Green
Forward - Kuzma
Center - Wood

(03-23-2023, 02:34 PM)ItsGoTime Wrote: I’d like to figure out Grant Williams or put pressure on Cha with PJ Wash if they sign Bridges. I think either of those routes is easier and more fitting to Luka’s timeline than either Kuzma or Grant. There are other names out there that I would want to explore over the expensive plays (although if they were to get either of the two, I wouldn’t be exactly mad).
