Don’t really care that they lost last night. Can’t stop dreaming about how good McCain is
The team that just pulled away from us in the fourth quarter has two undersized guards starting beside each other and neither are all-NBA defenders. While Maxey-McCain wouldn’t be anywhere near as good as Garland-Mitchell at the moment, you can’t tell me you wouldn’t take our healthy front court of Joel, PG and Martin over Cleveland’s.
I don’t think McCain should start beside Maxey as soon as Tyrese gets back, but by Christmas, he should be transitioned to being a full-time starter if they gel together and his form holds. I was hoping by the end of the season, but we just need the damn wins at this point.
On a related note about trades, stop selling the pipe dream that we should get a guard who is big and that can defend, pass and shoot. Lonzo Ball is the cheapest version of that archetype, and he hasn’t played in several seasons. It’s not happening. Until guys get waived, we are likely stuck with the guard rotation we have. The best we can hope for is a good forward that a team has stuck in a deep front court
