Duren and VW frontcourt would be absolutely amazing. So many blocked shots, and teams afraid to go inside. Add in Grant Williams?

Hayes
Cade
Williams
VW
Duren

I put Hayes in there for defense.

Man that would be a good defensive team.

No harm in dreaming. The odds of that happening are low, I know, but man o man that would be sweet.

Regards this contest-
Orlando's front court which is walking garbage, came within one rebound of out-rebounding our frontcourt by 2 to 1. Thats how bad we are at basic skills on this team.

Probably broke his hand carrying his wallet :)

Then you haven't been paying attention.


I have and we always seem to beat the worst teams who we are in direct competition with for better draft odds.

Pretty sad we couldn't beat a bottom five team without its best three players while playing at home. Are we the worst team in basketball right now? Yipes. We need that lottery luck for sure.

We should've taken this one easily. We were flying in the first half of the first quarter or so. A lot of bad decisions by Ivey down the stretch contributing to the tank. Hopefully his decision making matures through the course of the remaining season.

Clutch loss but it is depressing to realize just how bad we are.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
