Trade & FA 2023-24: HOU Targeting Mikal Bridges again!| Mitchell is LAL #1 Target

[SleepingHero]

Luka is not a guard on defense. 6’6” is not small for a guard. What are you talking about?

Is it kind of crazy to say I think 6'6 is becoming small for a guard in today's league? Every year we're seeing dudes get bigger and bigger that can do everything on the court.

Obviously 6'6 isn't small (Even though THJ is 6'5, and that isn't small either). But if you don't move your feet or pay attention off ball then it doesn't matter how tall you are. 

There was a moment last night against the Nets where THJ basically ball watched O'Neal while he pulled for a 3. And this was right after the Nets just hit 4/6 threes to open the 4th and O'Neal hit 2 of those I believe. Kidd called a timeout and that was the last we saw of THJ for the rest of the night.

Point is, we need size, but what we're really after is defense with size. THJ is neither, and I agree with vfromlmf that THJ overlaps too much with Luka+Kyrie to have any sort of role on this team. 

Anyways not trying to derail any conversation. Just my 2 cents.
