When we look at other max worthy PGs; Kemba's age not a good fit long term plus due to his size he can't defend. Kyrie's age not problem but hes injury prone. With DLO we can p&r teams to death. Lebron and DLO going at it with AD out there? woof. |
DLO won't get the touches with LBJ, and AD, it will affect his game as he's a volume shooter that requires touches. I think the Nets is his best bet for success. If the Nets get Kyrie, DLO will not be able to go back. At least not at the price he's asking. I see him with the Timberwolves in that case. |

Not really, the pnr game with DLO +AD would be sick.
DLO will also be able to play on the block and post up again, which he never did in Brooklyn. |

I'd only be cool with signing DLo if he accepted 20 mil or less a year (which he won't).

Yeap.
However, I agree with others that filling out the team will be quite difficult. |

We need defense. Beverly at the top and AD in the lane would be nice.

And this is what is going to drive all the DLo friction and agendas. I personally would love him at $18m and under, he'd be one of my favorite players ( this coming from an anti DLo person a few years back). But I would vehemently disagree and not be happy if he's $27m+
So if we get him, his price tag will ultimately force sides on LG. |

Neither Lavine or Aaron Gordon made all star teams and they got over 20m.

All star by default. He was an injured reserve in the east. Wouldn't even sniff a reserve spot in the west. |

Love to have both. And Dlo's defense isn't as bad as it's made out to be. He'll never make all nba defense but I'm ok with that especially if there's someone like Beverly in the backcourt.
I get it though. You don't like his game. You never did and that's cool too. We agreed heavily during the Andrew Bynum debates, i guess on Dlo we see it differently.

So why didn’t these two highly paid guys make the all star game if it was easy?
Y’all are some hilarious DLO all star Birthers.

| More impressive than being an all-star, or synonymous with it - is leading his team to the 6th seed in the playoffs. Just a big accomplishment for a 4th year player, period. |

So I’m assuming you are perfectly fine if we bring back dlo right? |

I’m waiting for the person to deny they even made the playoffs.

He's at the age where you cash in, not ring chase. |

Signing will ease the mounting tension from trading almost the entire core for AD.
It opens the door to signing some of our old agents back... it's an apology to fans who always supported him. (I wasn't one of those)
A max contract would be an overpay... but if we can't get one of the big free agents, it would be a public relations coup unless he completely fails.
We need to have a high quality scoring guard who can facilitate for AD.
If we can't get Kyrie or Kemba, it's not a bad option.
These 3 and D stiffs who can't create on their own won't be able to bring out the best in AD unless LBJ is on the court with him every minute.
Maybe Caruso will blossom, but it's nice to have a good guard who has shown a lot potential at a young age.
We need another shot creator to approximate the Wade/LBJ/Bosh or the Kyrie/LBJ/Love dynamic.
Pat Beverly or Danny Green cannot help create this threat even though I'd be glad to sign them later after the third option is secured. |
