Not losing any sleep over Otto Porter.

He would have been a solid backup for Tatum. The C’s have zero backup SF’s..

You and I define "solid" differently it appears.  And from what I saw, Porter was a back up PF, now a wing.  At best a kind of Marcus Morris type, but not as good or as durable (at this point in his career).

He can guard 3 positions and gave GS 8pts and 6rebs off the bench. 40% from 3pt and 48% from the field for his career isn’t solid? After game 2 of the finals Kerr started him for the rest of the finals..

Agreed with Vermont that Porter is a PF not a wing. He has played much better at PF than on the wing over last couple of seasons. His offensive limitations are more exposed against quicker players but he is still valuable as a stretch 4 as a two way player.

Agree with Goldstar88 that Porter is a solid backup. An above average backup in my ratings. He is a legit two way PF who knocks down 3s at a high clip and plays good defense. A valuable glue guy. He doesn't score a lot but he is highly efficient, rarely makes mistakes and is a positive contributor on both ends -- that is an undervalued combination of traits.

Overpaid. Nurkic should be an MLE guy.

#Cavs have agreed to a one-year veteran minimum deal with center Robin Lopez, sources tell @clevelanddotcom

Can confirm @Adrian Wojnarowski that the Hawks are trading Kevin Huerter to Sacramento for Justin Holiday, Mo Harkless and a future first-round pick.

So if not Huerter whom do we target with Fournier TPE?

Seems that Hawks would have preferred dealing with us since they still have tax issue. Maybe Boston wasn’t interested in Huerter

Richardson.

Would've liked him any of the last 4 years. For the vet min. he's a steal.

Richardson.

And Langford LOL.

Richardson.

I liked him a lot when he was here. Looks like he was consistent after he left.  Great for depth.

Booooo.

Edit: if that King's pick is unprotected, that's a good deal for Atlanta.

I don't think Josh Hart is available. Portland seems to be trying to contend. He's a great piece for a playoff team.

Of that list, I wouldn't mind Kennard.
