I noticed this during the Kings game as well. There were so many lob opportunities to the backdoor cutter when all the action is going on up front but the PG or ball handler never saw it even despite good cutting by the backdoor player.
I can’t wait to see what the offense will look like with a competent PG running it.

This is silly. There is no reason to let Reed go. He isn't making any real money. Just keep him, for crying out loud. Dudley, Daniels, and Ariza (hopefully) are gone after this year, and Warren/Jackson might have to be included in a trade. Just keep Reed at the end of the bench. His time will come.
Free Agency
DeMar Derozan for the minimum!
PG: Jordan McLaughlin, Killian Hayes, Kris Dunn, Spencer Dinwiddie, Monte Morris
C: Mo Bamba, Andre Drummond, James Wiseman, Goga Bitadze, Jay Huff

Hey I'm with it. Again, I really like Reed. I think it's foolish to give him up.
Re: Game Day (Summer League): Mavs (0-0) @ Suns (0-0), Fri 7/6/18
Ya, we are at 15 with Reed and Harrison, we don't have minutes to give without trading anyone and their really aren't any FA pg's worth pursuing anyways. I see zero reason to cut Reed.

I would rather cut an old guy loose a year early than cut a young player with some potential.INFORMER wrote: ↑Mon Jul 09, 2018 7:20 pmThis is silly. There is no reason to let Reed go.

Reed and Harrison should be on this team before Daniels or Dudley.

I think he was assuming the Suns would get a real PG at some point and from all indications it will probably be next year. She we get another year of the revolving PG.

Gambo said that Reed doesn't have much of a shot at making the team. I think it would be a shame to waive him after he's been the clear 2nd best player on the Summer League squad (imho.)

He will get picked up somewhere else. The guy can shoot, we would be stupid to release him.

Can we sign Reed to a 2-way contract and stash him in the G-League?
Re: Game Day (Summer League): Mavs (0-0) @ Suns (0-0), Fri 7/6/18
Doesn't he already have an NBA contract though? I'm not sure how any of this stuff actually works.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Wed Jul 11, 2018 10:48 amCan we sign Reed to a 2-way contract and stash him in the G-League?

Not if we waive him before the guarantee date and he clears waivers. Then he is an unrestricted free agent.TheOriginalOriginal wrote: ↑Wed Jul 11, 2018 10:49 amDoesn't he already have an NBA contract though?

At a salary of less than $1.4M, what are the odds he’d clear waivers? Would a team even need cap room to claim him off waivers?JeremyG wrote: ↑Wed Jul 11, 2018 12:21 pmNot if we waive him before the guarantee date and he clears waivers.
