Meh.
We basically brought back someone to fill Ross' production and use to spread the floor at the cost of CoJo. Delon basically does everything Corey does except he's a better passer and taller/longer, he just needs playing time to get comfortable. Of course there's going to be nights Delon struggles and works through inexperience but others where people are going to see why it was a blessing to trade Corey.
I'm just not that impressed because we're essentially recycling not resetting as we claim.
We tried to find a richman's version of Corey, Ross and Patterson in Delon, Miles and Ibaka which given our thinned out bench won't make a ton of difference because to really compete we need another player that's at least at the level of Ibaka to be of any real threat to beat CLE. We completely missed out on that opportunity when ATL was seeking a S&T partner for Millsap, hopefully we can convince some team to do a straight up S&T of Jamychal Green (for the $11.8M TPE) for JV. It's not the greatest solution but since we traded away our damn picks just to dump Carroll (smfh) it's not likely we can expect to find any borderline all-star (or better) for the remaining "assets" we have left.
