Chalmers always could shoot and was having a really nice season last year. Tons of playoff experience.

Shocked that Hollis is not on a roster

I know there's interest and upside in cook

Our old buddy the gentleman is healthy now too

Apparently Hollis only got waived by the 76ers at the start of January, so that is well after most teams would have been shopping for a shooter.

His numbers were down this year but that is a function of being used less before being waived.


We could certainly do much worse than him.

Nice group of guards we are working out here. Cook just won D League MVP and Thompson is a 39% 3 PT shooter at 6' 8". Chalmers 2x NBA champ coming off his career high best in PPG last year. Obviously Reggie Williams is familiar with the offense.

we aren't winning a championship this year. Chalmers is a win this year pick. No thanks.

Hollis Thompson and Quinn Cook have potential to make the roster next year. They are young, but have a bit of experience to where they are getting closer to being in their prime. They can be assets in the future for us, Chalmers can't.

Can we only sign 1 of them?

Woah woah Jack is healthy and available?? Obvious hyperbole.

However, that dude's my favorite player that I've met in person. By all accounts he's a great teammate, and if I'm looking at character here, here's someone who's well respected around the league.

Bonus: Obvious great friends with CP3.

I don't hate bringing in any of these guys. I like Hollis and Chalmers though. Chalmers might bring a good veteran presence for a playoff push this year. Not sure what kind of contract he'd demand though.

I would not mind Chalmers is the price is right just to have the veteran leadership plus he has been on championship teams. Could be a good locker room guy

Hopefully Dell can do his thing and find the next BDJ.

Thompson is a 39% 3 PT shooter at 6' 8". wow I did not realize he was that tall
