2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Chicagojk]

Hardaway is an interesting scenario.  I mentioned a week or two ago that he has been really engaged on the bench.   In addition, I believe he has sat with Cuban too at times from the bench.  If Cuban is really the GM of the team, that isn't a bad decision.   Now reports are that we were shopping him at the trade deadline and there is a definite bottleneck at his position.  I think if he comes back before the end of the year, Hardaway probably takes Bertans minutes.  is there enough there for 15 additional minutes?  That seems tough.   

Moving forward, as DS mentions if Green is ready for an extended role, could Hardaway be kept if we moved Maxi and Bullock for a 4/5 type player?  I don't think moving Bertans is going to be an option.  No one is going to take him.  We will need to rehabilitate him.   Need to give him time and not judge him off a rough start on offense.  But he could have trouble getting minutes moving forward.

I have been all over the place on who I want as the 4/5 player.   I think where I have landed is I want a savant at that spot.   A Draymond Green, a Joachim Noah, a Marc Gasol type.  Give me a guy who just knows how to play and is a winning player.   I am just having trouble identifying that player.
