Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted July 13, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Backup PG has been a revolving door up to this point... Teague, Rondo, Lou. We need to solidify this position. Unfortunately, there are not that many options in FA. Maybe trade Gallo and bring in a back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Popular Post Sothron Posted July 13, 2021 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Are people really ignoring Dunn? He's almost certainly coming back on his player option. He had a season to forget due to injuries so he basically will be healthy and ready to go next season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrell Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) The 76ers are open to trading Ben Simmons and would like “an All-Star-caliber player in return,” per @ShamsCharania.. "All-Star-Caliber in return"? lol... But seriously, he might be a good fit with us. Imagine the defense around Trae with Cam, Dre, Simmons, and OO... Send them Collins,(s&t)Dunn, and #20...lol Edited July 13, 2021 by terrell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLHawks3 Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Patty Mills is the guy. Look at his Olympic exhibition run right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are so caught up on needing a three point threat that they miss the fact that if Dunn comes back, we have a guy who is a top defensive guard and he's capable of getting assists. With Gallo, Bogi, Huerter, JC, Hunter, and Cam out there shooting threes, Dunn doesn't have to be out there... he can just distribute. PLUS... nobody has seen him under Nate (who also was a defense first PG). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillent Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Honestly I wasn't ever a fan of Dunn. I wanted to give him a shot or atleast get a look at him. He finally gave us a chance and honestly I'm not pleased with what I saw. No defensive intensity, honestly no intensity at all. Worse he didn't look like a capable nba PG. I know it's been a minute but I expected someone that would be hungrier in that situation. Cam was a great example of this. If you love the game and you haven't played all year and you're cleared nothing should stop you from going all out or atleast being serviceable. We keep talking about needing a vet but I've seen alot of vets fade when it matters most. We've seen it with our own vets in Snell, Solo, of course Dunn and even Gallo in the 1st round. The whole reason for getting vets/good players is for them to be serviceable when it counts. Again our vets kinda faded and that even includes Clint and Bogi to a certain extent while all the young guns came in with a different attitude. We cannot sleep on the young players especially nowadays (how old is Trae again or Cam for that matter). It's a ton of prospects in this draft that might play with more heart and honestly I'm fine with running Lou back with a full year in our system. We have alot of ball handlers and gunners. Alot of these "vets" that are options just do not push us over the edge in my opinion and there are rookie PG's in this draft that we can grab and groom for the long haul to go along with the rest of the young core and on a cheaper contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted July 15, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Not advocating this necessarily, but another option to add to the list of plausible options is Cory Joseph, who Pistons followers are saying is almost certain to be cut on or before 8/1, saving them about $10m. Remember that Cory Joseph spent two of his personal best seasons under you-know-who. He did have a nice run in DET for those 20 games he was there. If you're content with "adequate and experienced" at the #2 PG, it's a consideration. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurpilo Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Cory Joseph would be a terrific addition, the best FA we could add at PG, not counting on Dwinddidie. Is that real? Are they going to cut him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
