Doesn't seem to be anything else out there; he's better than the other people we signed to 10 days besides jarret jack.

He can come in and jack up threes like Galloway was doing.

Stephenson can come in a fill around tyreke evans void, can create on offensive and will hustle on D.

Barnes is a headcase but, we are a desperate team.

More below average players aren't helping. Especially when the number one thing this team has to do is build cohesiveness

I know this is a boring thing to say on a message board, where people just want to scream and fix problems instantly in their imaginary worlds, but.....it's gonna take time.

I agree. I am not a big fan of any of those 3 but they have to be better than Thomas and Williams. I like Jack and think he will do OK to finish the season.

Why not get some new guys to get a look at instead of Williams again.

Yea they can't play any worse then the guys we got. It sucks because these guys are getting wide open shots with all the attention AD and Cousins get

I agree. They're not going to fix their problems with 10 day contract guys. It's going to take upgrades to the perimeter this offseason.

When you are playing multiple below average players 15-20 minutes who will likely not be on the roster next year, you can definitely tinker with other below average players to improve.

Who the HELL you think you are implementing logic? Like really who the hell do you think you are?

The "can't be any worse" theory has been proven wrong time, and time, and time, and time again

Thornton is washed up, but the other two would probably be better than the two they signed Jack notwithstanding.

I'll disagree here, at least we shouldn't be even if Dell Demps disagrees.

I'm not worried at all about making the playoffs. It'd be nice, but this team isn't complete. What we do this offseason will be far more important than how many games we win down the stretch.

The important this for us to do right now is just allow time for AD, Boogie, and Jrue to mesh. Picking up old guys on 10 day contracts isn't going to help us. I'd rather go after some young guys and see if any of them can break through and become a role player in the future, like Tim Frazier.

no.

we are not that desperate.

he is a bad example to the young.

besides, instead of now making a run for the 8th spot, team is making the Pels pick worth something to its new owners. happy customers will come back.

This. Reggie Williams offers absolutely no upside and will not be a part of the future. Why not find a young shooter with some upside and give him those 5-10 minutes? Look what Dallas just did with Yogi Ferrell.

Like Thorton and Stephenson they have some skill sets we could use. Barnes can kick rocks.

I would definitely take Stephenson back, no need for the other two.

I want to see us explore some d-league guys now that the 8th seed is ot of the picture. I'd like for us to give Vander Blue a shot.

Maybe they aren't concerned with winning this season? Maybe they just want bodies while focusing on Davis, Holiday, Cousins. The team will need to understand what they have before they can make any other big moves?
