You obviously forgot Eric Snow.
I’m not sold on Hill and his $20M contract. I’m sure Altman checked into his toe issue that caused him to miss the Warriors series last year and also considerable time this year. It sounds like the toe has been the main cause of Hill being rated the 9th worst defensive PG this season.
I do agree Hills playing style fits with LeBron significantly better. If we are going to remain a heavy ISO team, you want spot shooters like Hill who don’t need the ball to be effective. Hill’s contract is near Batum level bad though and hamstrings us the next two years.
Ultimately my biggest disappointment is Isaiah couldn’t round into form faster. Even though he wasn’t playing well, you could just tell the “fit” wasn’t there with LeBron. So I’m ok with trading him. I just think the return and value we got back was sub-standard and giving up that first round pick was absurd. There is no reason on earth we should’ve had to attach that to IT and Frye. LA was desperate to move Clarkson to clear space....
I don’t know....I’m pretty bummed about today. The loss of Wade for a second round pick really upsets me too. Wade has played well in his role, and would’ve been vital in the playoffs. I just don’t see why you’d opt to move Wade for basically nothing when he has a lot of value based on his contract. It just kind of baffles me....
I hope Lue has the balls to insert Hood into starting line-up but am not expecting it. I like Nance as our starting 4 until Love gets back. I’m hopeful for Tyson Chandler or Brook Lopez in the buyout market. I still think to get to a legit title contender status, TT needs to be an energy big off the bench. I’d even start Chandler over TT just for the defensive impact to set the tone at beginning of games.
