Why did they pick up Terry's option for next season?

Billy has a lot of failed first round picks on the court at one time.

A smart front office would've told Vuc to stay home. No upside in benching Smith for Vuc.

Tough to trade him if we don't play him

It's one of the many head scratching moves that AK has made.

Another question: Will Terry get another NBA contract after this one?

He has played enough in his NBA career. So you dont know what Vooch can give you?

We just make dumb decisions. AK will bring in bigs, but Billy only likes 1 big at a time.

Remember this if we get a center in the draft.

Tre Jones passing up a wide layup to throw a wild pass to Coby at the 3 pt line.

Idk why this guy is even getting playing time. We have 9 PGs and he is on an expiring deal.

Vuc is a 14 year vet and there are only 16 games left. You know what you're getting out of Vuc assuming you're trading for what he does on the court and not his expiring contract.

Stacey King obviously doesn't watch NBA ball from other teams. This isnt the 90s. Those shots are exactly what happens for other teams.

The rule is, if you are wide open from 3, you take the 3.

If they dont take those shots its worse because you will be turning down shots.

Billy Donovan disagrees with Kings assessment because that is what he is coaching.

They want to win games or they plan on bringing him back. If not they should've traded him for whatever they could get or cut him.

Giddey's out so I can understand playing Tre today, but previously I agree with you.

Having said that, maybe it would make more sense to play someone like Carter instead because he'll be here next year...?

Coby is playing fantastic again.

As far as playing Vuc, you need to show he still has something and isn't hurt. Get him back to his 20-10 to close the season.

Is Smith healthy? It absolutely boggles me that he’s now out of the rotation.

With such a shortage in guards, there’s no reason he shouldn’t be playing at the PF with Collins or Vuc. Share that spot with Buz & have Williams play as a proper wing.

He’s getting playing time because he’s actually a good high iq player that contributes on both ends, Billy obviously likes him, and yes they will try to bring him back if they can.

I said at the time he was the best of the 3 players we got back. I just don't see us bringing him back unless we are moving off our primary guards like Ayo, Coby, Giddey.

I was actually surprised he didn't end up in Sacramento considering they don't have a true PG on the roster.

You can keep pretending that teams don't tank but teams sure do it against the Bulls

Bulls do like him and he’s been playing pretty well, better than Ball and Ayo. He will be a FA though so who knows. Besides too many guards is not an issue for Billy, even if they all stay.
