I was just reminded that Jeff green is a cav jfc that bench is so rear end if they sign rose

Their bench is Kyle Korver, Frye, Shumpert, Jeff Green, and possibly Rose. How is that a bad bench, that's literally one of the best benches in the NBA.

Jeff Green was horri-bad last year and probably will barely play, but yeah this bench is far from the worst. Saying it's "one of the best" is probably a huge stretch. It's probably the worst defensive bench in the league by a pretty long shot.

Also Derrick Rose of last year for 15 minutes off the bench would be pretty good.

Actually now that I'm thinking about it, Iman Shumpert and Derrick Rose are the only dudes on that list who are probably even capable of playing 20+ minutes a night in the NBA their bench is complete garbage.

The NBA across the league have pretty bad benches unless you're one of those teams that are 12 deep with no all-star.

Because Jeff Green, Rose, and Shump are not good, as in very bad, at basketball at the professional level

Jeff Green's draft position and theoretical skillset makes people think he's better than he is. Still, it's not a bad addition to the bench. I don't think him being terribad in Orlando was entirely on him

Celtics, Nets, Hornets, Nuggets, Warriors, Rockets, Clippers, Heat, Raptors, Spurs, Thunder,

They have like an average bench at best. There are probably more teams that I forgot.

You forgot the Mavs. Mavs have Yogi/Barea/Harris(why are all these guards still here?)Seth Curry/Finney-Smith/Mejri/Powell off the bench.

Jeff Green is just going to steal Derrick Williams' minutes. I'll let the stats nerds calculate whether that is a good thing or bad thing

convince me why the mavs are gonna be good which i think you've suggested before in this thread. I genuinely don't see why they would win more than 35 games,with their roster. but you watch them a lot more than the 5 times a year i did last year probably so i am willing to be persuaded i just dont get it
