What happened to Thomas Robinson?

He's been getting DNPs since early January, is he hurt or just completely fell off the rotation with the surge of Zubac?

Out of the rotation. We've seen what he can do. He provides great effort a lot of the times, sometimes good defense. Right now our focus is on the future, which it should be hence. Hence why Zubac is playing more and Mr.64 Million is getting DNP-CD's.

But the weird thing is, his last game dates back to January 4th, that's before the deadline for his contract to become guaranteed (which was January 10th). Could've just waived him and save a roster spot.

I think we want to keep him... Especially if we trade Randle or Nance. Keeping him hidden on the bench just gives us flexibility.

Not playing him much so hopefully we can resign him for a couple years cheaply in the offseason.

I agree with Kilroy that he's more of an insurance policy right now. He could be good fit for the future, or we could need him to step in if we end up trading one of our other bigs.

T-Rob is great. The only reason he's probably not playing is because we have too many guys playing his position. I fully expect the front office to bring him back next year though. Even if he doesn't play much or at all for the rest of the season. Kind of like they did with Tarik. He's just a good piece to have in your back pocket because of how much energy and intesity he brings to the game.

Ivica Zubac happened.

He should get some minutes surely? He is pretty good off the bench and i can't see why he wouldn't get minutes.

I can see a Moz/Randle type of trade happening

... One can only hope.
