I've seen so much negative response to this deal.  We gave up 2 second round picks (basically nothing) for a 23-yr old who shoots 38-40% from 3, is an above average defender, started half the year last year, has Finals experience.  This is a young, inexpensive, great shooting, high-upside role playing guard....isn't that something we need?

I would guess fans want more of a splash move in free agency.  I like the move but it’s fairly clear that we aren’t a desired destination for better FAs

Yeah - why would we be?  The NBA is all about Superteams and Championship runs.  None of the splash guys are going to go here until we hit a few stars to build around.  LaMelo and BMiller aren't big enough....and Bridges' future is uncertain.  1 Star won't get us a deep playoff run....probably an appearance and 1st round exit.

I love the Green trade. I think people will be surprised at how well he does with a bigger role in Charlotte. I’d honestly pencil him in as the starting two guard.

So far we’ve added Green and Jackson and lost Curry (who apparently they want back), Thor, and Bailey.

1 - LaMelo Ball, Vasilije Micic, Tre Mann, K.J. Simpson

2 - Josh Green, Reggie Jackson, Nick Smith Jr., Bryce McGowens

3 - Brandon Miller, Cody Martin, Aleksej Pokusevski, Leaky Black

4 - Miles Bridges, Grant Williams, Tidjane Salaun, Davis Bertans

5 - Mark Williams, Nick Richards, Marques Bolden

There’s still moves to be made and it’s likely that Bertans, McGowens and maybe even Pokusevski are waived as all three have non-guaranteed contracts.

Isn’t Bridges a FA?

I feel like they’ll bring him back but I could be wrong.

I think we should absolutely bring him back. Hopefully he can be realistic on the money.  Before this horrible thing he did he was a fringe all star player.  
Also, outside of the suspension he plays.  He hasn’t been injured much.  I keep him.

This dude has had 40+ pt games and can play 3 or 4.

Real question would you trade Melo for Steph? No clue how the money would work but lots of people are turning on Ball and Curry probably has 2 decent seasons left? Warriors are going to be a fringe playoff team next year and might be looking to start over.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
