This is a pretty damn good off-season.

Yes sir! Indeed a special special off season window for Rob & the Front Office.

Reaves on a 4/55 - perhaps the best contract in the league
Rui on 3/51
DLo - a walking trade chip
Wood - Vet Min
AD - re-signed

Roster Balance -
Shooting B+
Athleticism A+
Playmaking/Shot Creation - B+
Defense B-/C

I'm hyped for the season!!

Nice signing, I'm 100% sure that we will need him. With a frontcourt that has Davis and the 39 year old Lebron you cannot rely on just Hachimura as your only backup scorer. He will get plenty of chances to start and play significant minutes - basically every time when either Lebron or Davis is out.

I'm also looking forward to see the Vincent-Christie-Prince-Rui-Wood bench operating with backups like JHS, Reddish and Hayes. That's an enormous jump in quality vs the last few years.

Zagars is rumored to have been a PG with offensive impact in the WC, had 17 assists in a game. Does he play defense?

Looking for every way to improve our guard defense so that we can shake D Lo and filler on Dec 15 without losing too much PnR.
