Elf is a solid backup PG.   But his shot is awful.   He had a pair of wide open 3's in the Ind game and missed both badly (I think both were 3's).

Its not very effective when the opponents  can go under every screen.  Elf schooled some pups on a crap team.   woo&hoo.

He's a journeyman,  best as a backup.   Unfortunately, he's the best PG we have. Which is reflected in our record.

He missed 17 games!  We'd have 20 wins maybe more and be knocking on the playoff door.  But you want him out.
MaMo is our first closer in forever.  But you want him out too.
You want young scrubs like Chriss and Stein.

No.   I'd rather keep Morris and move Randle.   But Morris is older,  more desirable to playoff teams,  and unsigned.

Chriss and WCS are just throw-ins who could be useful and we could take a look at.

We need a starting caliber PG.   Elf is a stopgap.  Tangelo has flaws, but at least can fill it up and is pretty young.

I've been trying for Chris Paul or Dinwiddie.   I could settle for Tanngelo if it doesn't cost too much.   If GSW would take a Randle package,  that'd be great. But Morris seems like more their kind of player.

We just had a 4-11 January with Elf averaging 30 mins a night . . .

On DLo...

Pass.

He isn't the greatest at creating for his teammates based on assist ratio and as a scoring guard who's marauding as a point, and I'm not convinced he's worth it.

I get that the draft is iffy this year, but I also heard on Knicks Film School that there have been very few point guards on highly successful teams in the past 10 years who have been high percentage of salary cap. There are really few PG's who've led teams to success who aren't Steph Curry.

Forget about just immediately following the trade, the reality is he's being paid quite a lot and would be the highest paid in the near future.

It's too much to pay a player that's not convincing as a real lead player on a good team.

How are the Warriors doing again? Oh right. The Nets had other pieces as can be evidenced by how they are doing this year without KD and with/without Kyrie.

It rings too similar to Marbury.

He would be one of the better backups in the league and if somehow we had a better option ahead I'd be more than fine with keeping him.

For the most part, they've played a bunch of complete nobodies all year. 

I'm not a fan of Tangelo.   He's sloppy and more of a combo G.   But he is shooting 38% on high volume 3's.   We need shooters and scorers.  He'd turbocharge our offense.   

Just turning 24 this month.  Again,  not a fave of mine but an upgrade.

I can't get past why Russell is called "Tangelo".

Ask BoZ. 😳

A return to competent management!   Mills sucked at his job but had a skill for keeping it.  He's gone!

 I’d be glad, except now it’s rumored we’re looking to trade draft picks, multiple picks, for a front office person. That would be infinitely dumb and I hope it doesn’t happen.
