gave up a lot to get harris, but holy shit our starting 5
simmons - redick - butler - harris - jojo
redick is the only weak defender in that group. our bench is still a dumpster fire, but come playoffs, the starters will be playing 38 minutes a game anyway, except redick. id imagine that boban will play backup C against more traditional bigs, bolden against more athletic bigs. scott is a 3/d power forward i guess, hes probably not much worse than chandler was. it hurts to lose shamet. we must be banking on wes matthews getting a buyout from the knicks, he'd be a perfect short term fit for the rest of the year.
woj says our intention is to keep both butler and harris this summer, which basically maxes us out completely. which is fine by me. much easier to find bench/rotation pieces in the summer on min deals than it is in-season.
after last night's crushing loss to the raps, this certainly lifts the spirits.
