Which of our players fit that bill right now?

I just mean let's not become a team that starts throwing money at those types of guys. I think we have a nice head of steam moving forward... Gordon will be off the books. I just dont want to get in bed with an injured guy making too much money

I like Matthews and all, just because he's an actual 2 way guy. He's a "winning player", but his growth also coincided with LA becoming a perennial MVP candidate, Dame Lilliard arriving, Batum, RoLo etc. He played a role on those teams and now thinks he's going to step in and get paid like a go to guy. In reality youd want him being a role player if he was here too.. EG has finally embraced his role and will clear money next year. Go get Batum or Parsons or get in on Beal
