Too many rookie mistakes and turnovers plus a rookie coach with stupid rotations equals disaster.....

we should have won 3-4 games that we lost. against the likes of the suns, queens, and a depleted nuggets team, among others.

i feel a trade looming.

we'll win at least 4 games I'm having some faith in this team, what's left of it anyway

Yup. I've been thinking the same thing. I think it might be on Magic's mind that it would be good for Lonzo to have a vet PG on the bench talking him through things in huddles etc, help him fast track acquiring the right experience, in-game strategy, relieve him on a bad night, help release some pressure...

I would also love it if we could snag Tony Allen. I think there's a Grizzlies trade to be had. I know Marc Gasol isn't the right center but he's disgruntled and I'd absolutely love to have him here when it's playoffs time and the game slows down. Great defender. Lopez is worthless and has a big expiring.

Where we get the right vet PG to back Lonzo I'm not sure.

we have a tough 10 game stretch coming up against not only playoff teams, but championship contenders.

these are the games that could really make or break our season. we could potentially go on a 10 game losing streak.

not to sound negative. just bracing myself. would be equally satisfied if they battle out every game and make them earn that W against us. any win here would be awesome.

I would like to think that after the 6ers game this team turned a corner. They didn't come out flat in the 1st like they usually do. Turnovers were reasonable. They never let the Hornets get a big lead and got a run when it mattered most. Now its just about consitency.

I dont know guys...

The Lakers are playing well and although JC complains a bit he is a critical member of the team right now. I would not be happy with the team unloading a useful player right now. That said, during the trading deadline its a whole different story.

For the future, I would like to keep Randle and see if we can sign 1 MAX guy like PG. For center role, I would like to trade Lopez and see what we have in Thomas Bryant. We can even go small with Randle or Nance there and Bogut as backup.

My guess is that Lopez is gone December 16. Randle and JC are safe until TD, maybe more.
