That's a lot man for a backup PG. I just don't know if I'm excited to pay non needle movers that type of money

The difference is that Seth Curry does something legit that's elite... shoot three pointers. He's a career 44% three point shooter in a league obsessed with taking more three pointers.

Granted, Jones is elite at protecting the ball... his Assist/TO rate is great. But is that one specific skill as impactful or in demand as much?

DLO would have added scoring and hope that maybe adding another young all-star can start changing things but would it? Does adding DLO change the win total all that much? I'm not sold on him changing things a ton and what this team needs more than anything is to not make salary cap blunders and maximize developing the young talent on this team. Then when we do have some money down the road we can look like a somewhat attractive FA destination.

Well as of now, including Reid's two way deal he has 10 guys signed. That means he needs to find 7 more guys to join this team.

He has his work cut out for him.

I'm sure they could sign Lip to a 10 day contract. I've heard his crossovers are impressive.

He can get his shot off quickly has a good handle and step backs and footwork to get looks. He fired up 3's and doesn't just have to be spotted up to take them. His FG% is under 40% but that's partly because he took so any 3's and only hit 33%. He turns 28 in a couple days so he ain't young but he isn't old either. Wolfson said he has heard the Wolves are planning to keep Graham past his guarantee date but Napier could be moved in a deal.

Meh. There are reasons he's been traded multiple times and signed his last contract for about $1.9M per year.

He's basically another version of Jerryd Bayless.
