What? how is he any different than TP with some more shot creation?
Awesome
Have not followed his career a lot since Brooklyn, I remember he once exploded for 50+ points, and Rosas really liked him. Looking at the stats he averaged 12.1 points on decent overall efficiency and 39% from 3, and averaged 15 points in playoffs with okay-ish efficiency. Not the player I would use a full MLE on, but hey, I was not a fan of SloMo signing either.
Much rather keep Prince. His 3 point ability is considerably better.
I dont think Mr. Massey here has a reliable source
This is good. His playmaking and ability to be a willing passer would be perfect for the second unit. Curious what his salary number would look like
Not a big fan of this potential move. LeVert is talented, but I don’t feel like he’s a great fit with this roster.
He shot really well last year, but he’s been a below average shooter for almost all of his career (usually between 32-35% from deep). He’s also a bit of an iso-player with an injury history. He’s taken steps forward as a defender, which is nice, and he’s not a bad passer, but I just don’t think he’s a good fit with this team’s needs.
Evan Massey deadass should be banned from the sub. He is not a real reporter in the slightest
Have always liked Lavert. Has a lot of talent and sounds like an unselfish teammate. Really hustles out there. Maybe the vet we need, not that unlike Prince honestly.
Pls no I can’t take another McLaughlin szn get monte.. Jevon.. Wright ANYONE CONNELLY!
Mike/Ant/Jaden/KAT/Rudy
NAW/Caris/Minott/Kyle/Naz
LeVert is basically the highest level outcome of what Nowell could’ve become (or when he’s on and plays his absolute best) with even more creating for others. So it makes sense if the FO is interested in him.
That second unit doesn’t have a true PG probably, but between NAW, Levert and Kyle they all have some PG attributes. That second unit would be pretty balanced and you can let Levert of Naz cook a little more with the first unit guys when they run hot. Just not sure you can actually get NAW and Levert with what we have left tho.
Why
