Stop gap with what in mind for the future? At what point do we stop having to have stop gaps? This is getting so ridiculous that we cannot build any traction year to year

Yea If it means getting rod of Osik sure. But Matthews has not been good since his Achilles and I was mainly talking about people in this thread acting like he'd be a coup for us.

I'm ready to trade for Bledsoe and build off a core of Bledsoe/AD/DC. You're not getting a star player until you become good enough that they want to play for you and only you. Focus on being good while not adding any unmovable contracts like Holiday on a max deal, and the rest will work itself out.

Matthews has had a better real +/- than Avery Bradley the last 2 years. People assume we'd have to give up the moon to get him.
Matthews has also played in 78 and 73 games the last two years, almost 20 more than Jrue has last two years, and he shoots 38% from 3 and averages 14ppg for his career, both better than Jrue.
Yes it would be a coup for us to get him for 2 years while getting rid of the worst signing we've ever made in Asik. Klay Thompson becomes a free agent in 2 years.

yeah. that is odd. especially if you're swapping Holiday out for Matthews.

i'm not a huge Holiday fan, but 2017 Wes Matthews or Solomon Hill or E'Twaun Moore as your 3rd best player is not taking you very far
