Sasser is now considered PROBABLE (earlier than reported just a couple of days ago)

That’s great news, I just hope they’re cautious with him.


With the way that the season has gone, there’s no sense in letting anyone play hurt.

If Sasser is back to full health hopefully we don't see anymore Flynn, whose TS is 41.5% and has a -13.9 on/off court split.

I guess my eyes are lying to me about Flynn, because he's seemed like a nice offensive spark when I've seen him, but no problem with going Sasser over here.

Ugh, though, the Magic again?

The magic have a nice team, and are just a touch ahead of the Pistons in terms of trajectory.

They still, desperately need an actual PG to run their offense, but they can fix that next year.

Also, I love both Wagners, and firmly believe Franz is that franchises key player, not Banchero.

I think I’m blinded as well. When I’ve seen him, he’s played w a lot of energy, seems a good fit for 3rd string PG

Orlando seems to be somewhere between Detroit and OKC.. But I think Banchero is their franchise player.

Flynn takes a lot of bad shots. Lots of air-balls. Plays aggressive, but he was taking time when Sasser was healthy. 12-man roster. Gosh. Stubborn Jackass Full Card Monty.

Flynn is bad. Flynn and Wiseman hurt us a lot when they´re on the court.

There is a scale vege. It's not either terrible, or great.

Flynn is absolutely fine as a guy that might play 10-12mpg, and is young.

1-10 scale, where 5 is average, I have Flynn right around a 3.5-4.0. A 3rd string PG.

Its Wiseman, who right now is truly terrible. Poor timing. Poor rebounding position. Poor box-out. Poor shot making. Poor passing. Poor ball-handling. Horrendous reflexes. He reminds me of a cat I used to have, that you zip the toy by his face, his reaction is .5seconds afterwards.

He is floating around a 1.5-2.0

This is why Stewart should be spelling Duren. The upgrade over Wiseman would be seismic.

Cade/Sasser/Flynn
Ivey/Grimes
Ausar/TBJ
Tek/Ausar/Stewart
Duren/Stewart

Wiseman is killing the second unit. Stewart would spread the floor from the position, which would be HUGE for the 2nd unit.

They are much improved no doubt, but they were a farm team for the rest of the league for a long damn time.

Few years of doing well, they'll shake that moniker.

So instead of Grimes, moron went with Fournier.

Weaver, you HAVE TO CUT HIM. Stop Monty from being stupid.

Remember when nobody thought Stew would ever be able to shoot 38% from 3??

People gotta stop doubting this dude. He'll look better as our star players mature. He's really an ideal 4th/5th option who was expected to do too much because of how young/bad the team was. That contract is going to look better and better each year.

I've been on and off the bandwagon, but right now I'm off, waiting for a different wagon.

He just doesn't pose enough of a threat from distance to make up for his deficiencies on offense.

I hope he proves me wrong, but I am not hopeful.

To be fair, Grimes’ shot selection has been generally horrible. He needs some coaching. Guess we’re screwed then.
