Say good-bye to Kelly...the human up fake machine has worn his welcome out in my book. Kelly must be dizzy from turning the corner and falling back around it again and again. He has too many negative traits to consider paying him anything but base dollars.
Crowder is mostly talk, and posturing on defense of late, his game is solid at times, but very single dimensioned on the offensive side. He is limited physically 6-5, short arms, no real ability to play above the rim. He shoots the 3 well at times, he'd make a nice 3 and D bench player. Possible trade bait.
Bradley is too undersized to be a starter, at 6-2 and 170 he's slight of build, easily dismissed on a pick, and inconsistent as a scorer. He just can't have a game where he's strong the entire game. He hits two jump shots in a row, and then isn't heard from for 2 quarters. Gets hurt too often. Again...he's a 3 and D bench player on a good team. Possible trade bait.
I can't stand the way the NBA has anointed IT the new poster boy of the terribly undersized superstar. Yes...Thomas is a wonderful, and gifted scorer. But a less than average point guard, and because of his physical limitations a defensive liability of mega proportions. Trade, or keep, I'm not sure. But I would offer him a contract based on him being a super 6th man, and nothing more.
With this pick we have coming in this point guard heavy NBA draft, take the best PG available and play him behind Smart, and or IT until he's ready to take the reins.
In the mean time, please try to gather some normal positional size with talent, and find a big to replace Amir.
It's definitely a step back, but this oddly designed team was alway fools gold.
