Jimmer was just insurance really. Plus some good pr. No one we signed late in the season played much, he didn't have much time to learn our systems and let's be honest he's not exactly defensively capable.
I'd like to have seen a little more of him personally, but mainly because it would have meant less court time for kirkFor him to have court time against Washington would have meant him playing against wall, beal or dre, and that's a disaster waiting to happen. DJs not great defensively bit he at least has quickness on his side
Do we go for melo. I've expressed my preference before for no, but tbh I don't see us being able to clear that sort of cap room without sacrificing taj.
It also depends on what's happening with mirotic.
I see it as the opposite. They'll go for Melo, and how that goes depends whether we look at Mirotic. If we get Melo, we can't afford him. If we don't, we're left with various different options, one is bringing him over.
The late season signings of Brewer, Amundson, James etc.. strongly suggest we're going for Melo, that was the only reason.
As for whether Melo is the right fit? That's debatable, but I think he is. And we just so desperately need scoring and offensive talent that I'd go all out.
