    Have you looked at our defense? We also need another good 3 pt shooter Jabari, Tari and Reed arent consistent and shooting varies game by game.

    He can guard down to the two I think? But with the way Okogie is playing, I agree that we should give him all the time he needs, unless/until that changes.

    So Houston filed for….and received the 12.5 exemption for FVV so what can Houston do with that? To counteract the FVV and DFS injuries

    Nothing. They’re hard capped (no matter what) and are just a million and change under.

    Fair, following his injury especially.

    I know Lakers fans loved him last season, but we all know how they are.

    Only thing I can think of was to replace Brooks and weaken the Lakers defense and depth. Personally I would’ve preferred them sign a 2 guard like NAW or Grimes and just give Tari a bigger role, but it is what it is at this point

    Maybe they're like me insofar as I can never remember who is Dorian Finney-Smith vs Kentavious Caldwell-Pope so I combine them in my head

    The good news is he'll be back in time to bolster us when [KD/Tari/Jabari] goes down

    LOL, forgive me, I'm in a post-FVV-injury / "we're not a developmental team anymore" cringe. Every night I say prayers for our 37yo PF. May they all do whatever workout Uncle Jeff is doing.
