Okay, I’m starting to see what others were talking about with respect to people hating Drummond.

Jarrett Allen just annoys me. And it really stems from him playing in summer league

He's been god awful for a few games. Not sure if playing that poorly for extended periods is good for his development.
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

What's that red blob with a 0 on it moving back and forth on my tv screen?

He's just been really timid. Dribbles twice and then swings the ball. You don't want him playing out of control, but he's moving into "playing scared" territory.

Honestly, he could use a pass first pg to get him some easy looks. A couple east buckets would make a big difference for him.

There’s nights where Wood is clearly our most impactful player on the court followed by Rose.

He does everything on the offensive end really well

Yeah he’s too scared to get yanked and is too mindful of the vets. Might get better with age but eh, he needs to play more focused and his game right now.

Yup that would help all the kids. Rose is really good but him driving in 3 on 1 isnt helping anyone develop.

Rose is showing out and getting a ton of praise on ESPN at least right before the deadline
