what i mean by dogs, they have HEART

paul reboca sr

Al i can't call it both are dogs

Too early to make a decision on Ky, they actually play well together and strengths compliment each other. DLo want be here next year, neither will Burks. That means it’s Steph and Killa, Jordan Poole and Jacob Evans, and Ky and Lee. They will give Ky 1 year to develop and see what Lee looks like the rest of the year. Which means Poole and Evans needs step up their game cause they haven’t given us anything other than some G-League hype.

Anthony Gray

SEEMS LIKE THE FRONT OFFICE MADE THEIR DECISION ON LEE

Kevin Vestergaard

Both??

Connor H

i Wouldn’t be mad at us clearing out burks and evans for those 2 roster spots. Getting real tired of Evans I think summer league was fools gold

Lee has improved over last season and, frankly, I've been impressed by his hustle and his efficacy. Ky has a tenacity to offset the weaker parts of his game, but I think he needs more time to develop. That being said I like both players, but where do we expect them to contribute on a healthy team besides energy/end of bench depth? I voted for Lee simply because when Steph was bottled up by the defense, the offensive vacuum was bewildering and I think Lee brings better offense than Ky at this point. That being said, is there any way we could trade/dump salary and sign both to prorated contracts?

Athletic Alchemy

your playoff argument has got me swaying back to Bow...

Walter Kim

Neither....I don't think they'll compliment Steph and Klay well when they come back playing major minutes. I'm also against short defenders and hate everything nepotistism. That's why I was happy to lose Quinn Cook.

adrian salazar

I just don't think Damion will be there on clutch time. Bowman is new. I think if given time; He'll be an essential piece to our roster.

Thomas Ogas

These folks who say we need more outside shooting in the playoffs seem to forget that with Steph + Klay on the floor, we're not putting more guards next to them, and Lee is not a plus defender. I love Lee as a regular season bench scorer when his high effort will be rewarded. In the playoffs, everyone plays hard and everyone has to play exceptional defense to even get on the floor. Bowman plays full court hard-ass defense. The guy has a great 3 point shoot, is a decent play maker and IS A ROOKIE. 5 years younger than Lee. So much untapped potential in him. He's a dog in the best sort of sense. Reminds me of Fred VanFleet, but more athletic and with a higher motor.

I’m glad to see I’m not alone on this. This is a subtle thing, really. I just thing Damian is a bit better for the vibe of the team. They both hustle, play hard and make shots...Ky just seems a bit more like an island out there and Damian seems to lift the morale a little more...I want them both, though.

Pb1203

Ky is too small. I like him, but even with the full court D you can't play him at the end of games (even if Steph happens to be out)

Jerry Heverly

shouldn't the question be: who would you trade or release to make room for Lee?

Edward Zeng

I want both so badly

Anthony Gray

Quinn Cook was garbage on d. That's why he ain't getting no run in LA.

Anthony Gray

D. Lee is ouchea. We need shooting and Lee can stretch better than Bow. I love Bow's grit and hustle but we need shooters. Lee is one on the cheap.

I voted to keep both....

John Z

Love Ky, the hustle he brings helps a lot for our team's effort. But Lee just provides what we need with Klay and Curry back. I would love to keep both.

Lee, he can play a forward roll too. We have enough talent in the guard position

Zachary Jordan Gunter

I woulda kept quinn cook over both these niggas tbh

Steven Stanley

Bowman plus defender in some matchups, Lee plus defender in no matchup.

Michel ten Voorde

NBA contracts are still a mystery to me, but I understand we can't keep both of 'em?

Lee is so terrible on defense hard for me to keep him.

Athletic Alchemy

One thing that needs to be considered is who can preform in limited minutes. Ky led the NCAA in min per, remember he really didn't start having an impact until he got like 20+ min. Who knows maybe that is his eventual roll. In fact the more I think about it...will this move tells us about their dlo plans? anyway original point was Lee is better suited to contribute in spot minutes.

Nsikan Usen

Would have went with Bowman a month or two back but Lee have has been ballin as of late also been active defensively and he's 6'6 as apposed to 6'2 in Ky so he can switch more comfortably... And last but not least, he's Steph's brother-in-law so yeah, I'd go with Lee

Athletic Alchemy

Im with that..not sure anybody would take him TBH

Athletic Alchemy

true..Bow seems capable of spacing but will he? Obviously I have been complaining about his lack of pulling the trigger lately. You would think he'd be looking to make a statement right now.

Athletic Alchemy

Yeah I do keep waiting for him to come back down to earth..IDK!

Athletic Alchemy

his catch and shoot corner 3s seem to be money.. Im torn..Lee has played that well.

Athletic Alchemy

My worry with Lee is does his effort go back down once he is secure. Bow seems like a more natural effort guy.

David Liao

Agh, such a tough decision. For the future, I'm choosing to keep Bowman. Lee is great for what we need now and would be a good sub for Steph with his skills. But if we are looking for longevity I'm going with Bowman.

andrew ian scott

we finally have guys that can back up steph and klay.

andrew ian scott

i dont think either is going but jacob evans is gone. probably for a 2nd round pick.

Major Powers

Ya'll are overvaluing Lee because of a few hot games. Gotta look at the big picture. Bowan: younger, better D, more tools in the toolkit, and honestly, if you go look, just as good from 3 percentage wise (with a higher ceiling).

Branden Edwards

Bowman is younger. Lee is 27

DLP

When has his height been an issue?he's tenacious on defense has a poor mans pat bev cp3 effect and athletic enough to front bigs in the paint and is good in the pnr. Can pass and shoot. definitely a difference maker off the bench

Branden Edwards

Bowman. He's younger with a higher ceiling

José Francisco

Lee is a better shooter, end of the story. What killed us last year was the floor spacing, and players like Cook and Bowman who can shoot, but aren't great shooters, don't solve that. Lee moves without the ball and can sorta create for himself, I think it's a better fit, even though I really like Bowman too.

Unsure who out of the two will be able to sustain the progress they've made. If Lee can maintain his shooting next year, then definitely him. Bowman is great with his full court defense, shooting, and hustle, but his height has been an issue as well.

DLP

pause

DLP

You keep Ky bc he is more talented and has a higher ceiling as a backup pg. Dlee is playing for his bball career and is doing a lot of overachieving but has come along way as a nba player he will be good but if you have to chose 1 it has to be ky

Ivan (Vanya) Kashperuk

Isn't Lee much younger? I'd go with potential

Major Powers

The only thing that bugs me about Lee is the guy fucking clanks layups like some try-hard meth-head 40 year old at the rec center. I think I have to go with Bowman. His career 3% is actually better than Lee's to date. Honestly I think Bowman can develop into a floor spacer. His shot doesn't look awful to me.

Paradox

Need guard defense or shooting? Hmm

Aceec

Bowman for his D and energy. Good question though.

Tony Stark

honestly i had bowman at first but lee has been ballin more, i do love bowmans fullcourt defense

Nev

Lee starting to cool down while bowman steady with that defense

Long

We already have dlo and steph, and JP is developing. I’ll only keep bowman if we trade Dlo for a good forward. Dlo is young and we have years on his contract tho.

Mayansh Upadhyaya

We have steph and dray to handle the ball. Could use a third ball handler but relatively easy to get one on a mininum deal. You can never have too many catch and shoot hustle guys like Damion Lee.
