you mean like brining in Torrey Craig last year? Or trading Jevon Carter after just giving him a new contract and Monty saying how important he was to us?Superbone wrote: ↑Tue Feb 01, 2022 10:31 amStill.

I trust in Jones and Monty to manage that.
And I don't think we win a championship staying pat. That would mean we require Payne, Shamet, or Elfrid Payton to play the best basketball they have ever played in the playoffs this season. None of shown an ability to backup Book/Paul at a decent level. Sure Payne was awesome for a stretch last year. But he has been so far from that this year. And if we experience an injury to Book or Paul in the playoffs, I don't see us getting very far.
Jones did a great job shoring up the center position. But we are still short on Wing, and very short on back court (at a top 8-9 type player).
And to be clear, I am not saying that Dinwiddie is that guy for us. I am just saying that we could really use someone.

Only gonna get worse as Charlotte and Chicago should make the playoffs this year.

Along with Cleveland and possibly the Wolves.

I agree with all of that. My point is Dinwiddie isn't that guy.Indy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 01, 2022 12:05 pmyou mean like brining in Torrey Craig last year?

Is there a chance Bridges gets in as an injury replacement? Normally I’d say no, but I think there’s a good chance we have at least two injury replacements on the roster(Draymond and LeBron). Rudy and Donovan still aren't playing for Utah either. There’s honestly not many all-star worthy players left in the west and I could see them just saying, let’s give Phoenix a 3rd guy and with all the games missed, I think that’s Bridges over Ayton.

I hope he can stay healthy doing that.

Something tells me he won’t find it as easy to score in the paint during the playoffs
