2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

Feels like the general consensus is that we still need another wing or do we feel that Hardaway could be that wing upgrade over Frank and Josh Green minutes?

Personally, I see Hardaway strictly as a backcourt player because of his size would be an issue for us defensively if we played him heavy minutes at the wing.  I'm very much in the same camp as @"mvossman" in terms of not trading any future assets for another wing at this point.  We just added a 30 minute a night guy to a western conference finals team, I'm ok with that being our big splashy move.  Use the tax MLE and grab a late second or undrafted player and run at this point.

I think that you may have enough with the tax MLE to make Gary Harris an offer and have him be the player that helps DFS and Bullock get some rest in the playoffs.  He feels like a reclamation project waiting to happen.  I also think there's still reason to believe that there's enough room for improvement for both Josh AND Frank that they still may compete with someone like Harris and show that they can make a better showing in next year's playoff than they did this year so maybe that extra wing is already around.

I'm still fascinated with the future of Hardaway.  Feels like the best scenario is to give him minutes early this season and see if he fits or if he has trade value.  I also think that a healthy competition between Frank/Green/MLE wing for those 9th man minutes could play one of those players trade values up to pair with Hardaway in February.

Anyways, it's Nico's world now and that excites me.
