I didn't catch all 82. I couldn't invest the time when the team was so hard to watch. It was also a tough year for me to spare that many hours because I had my first kid in February. There were a lot of games I had on in the background while I did work or took care of baby, so I'd kind of half-watch them. Then I'd check the box score at the end and read the posts here.Shabazz wrote:Good season, fellas. Thanks to all the posters here.
Anyone else watch all 82? I didn't miss a minute of this turd. It's a long wait until October now.
I don't know if you're serious, but I suspect he'll be back with the team next year. He's inexpensive, he was a good scorer in college and can shoot the ball, and they wouldn't save much money by cutting him.djy2j wrote:I'm sad that I missed Alec Peters' last NBA game.
Yep. That was exactly the reason we drafted him. Not that anyone expects him to have 36 pt games regularly, but if he can be serviceable as a PF and hit 40% of his threes, he can have a long career.ShelC wrote:I think Peters is a guy we take a long look at.
So what did you think, Alec Peters for MVP?da_suns_fan wrote:I only watched one entire game the entire season.
I'm fine with taking a look at him again in summer league but this stuff happens on the last game of the year. I'm pretty sure Archie lit up the Kings on the last day of the season sending fans (including myself) into a tizzy over the summer. We saw how that worked out.Indy wrote:Yep.

We need shooting SOOOO much on this team. It is crazy that of the 12 guys that played over 500 minutes for us this year, only 2 guys hit 3s better than 37%. Just to put that in perspective, there are 110 guys in the league that did that this year (even more if you include the guys that take very few 3s), and only 2 were on this team. (Booker/Daniels)
Why Reed? I haven't seen anything from him that says he's anything more than a G-Leaguer.specialsauce wrote:We can’t fill our bench with a bunch of marginal players who show two moments of potential. We need some proven guys if we actually want to compete.
I think out of Peters, Reed, House, Ulis, Harrison you pick 2 to keep and toss the rest unless they agree to a G league deal.
I’d keep Harrison and Reed

Honestly I don’t love either of them and I’m okay letting both go. House is not a good 3 point shooter and I don’t want any more perimeter players that can’t hit the 3. I feel like Reed hasn’t gotten a fair shake coming off the injury I thought he looked promising in SL and wouldn’t mind giving him a healthy offseason to get a real look. Again, we could cut him tomorrow and I wouldn’t be that upset.O_Gardino wrote:Why Reed over House?specialsauce wrote:We can’t fill our bench with a bunch of marginal players who show two moments of potential.

And I don't think there's any problem signing Peters to another 2-way contract where he mostly plays in the G-league.

I'd keep Harrison. Where do you see Knight fitting in since I doubt we can unload him w/o a straight buyout and I doubt he wants to be a third string PG. If we draft Doncic I dont know how I feel about Harrison and Knight backing him up.specialsauce wrote:We can’t fill our bench with a bunch of marginal players who show two moments of potential.
