That headline :lol:
But this is why I wish we were able to add him. I think in a good system he's going to be big contributor to winning. He's got Horford potential imo.

Powell was a good addition but not enough to get me excited. Getting he and Collins would have been a perfect off season. That's just enough help for Herro and Bam to where there should be absolutely no excuses about what they show us they can do leading a team for a full season.

Agreed

Wiggins gets cooked by Austin Reeves. “Wiggins meant to get blown by so he could funnel dribbler into help defense!”

Herro probably does same thing. “Jeez look at Herro getting cooked. And now Bam has to rotate over. He’s the worst defender I’ve ever seen.”

Fans tend to blame the players they hate the most. It’s easier.
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

You gotta do what you gotta do when you have Herro and Duncan, two of the worst playing defense in the NBA, acting like practice cones on the court.

Which means one or more of these players most likely will not be on the roster by next June:
  1. Rozier
  2. JJJ
  3. Wiggins
  4. Fontecchio

But has anyone ever figured out why every player fan targets Herro for their hate and deflections for their favorite player's short comings? Like, what's the science behind it?

I mean Duncan Robinson has been right there.

If his neck injury heals completely. he was never the same after it.

I'm over Terry lol. His fit is even more redundant now that we have Powell.

With Terry on the roster you can almost bet that he, Herro, and Powell will share the floor at the same time, with Wiggins at the 4 and Bam at the 5. Spo just operates like that.


Pat needs save Spo from himself here and ensure Terry is off of the roster before the start of the season, or else we're going to get fried (again) having a 3 guard lineup with 200lbs Andrew Wiggins as our 4.

Saving Spo from himself is a real thing. I used to mention this all the time with Rodney McGruder lol

I’m intrigued with bringing on Westbrook and unlocking this tandem again. Minimum 1 yr deal see what happens. Westbrook represented by Jeff Schwartz.

We might be able to pull off the same deal for Vucevic and Dosunmu with the Bucks and Wiggins. Kuzma, Highsmith, and a young Bucks guard could work for the Bulls.

I don't think it matters because I think Ware is going to be a 20mpg guy who probably starts for the confidence boost, but get pulled in favor of a small-ball lineup:

Mitchell
Herro
Powell
Wiggins
Bam


Well that’s one way to destroy the value of a player or have a player demand a trade. We say Ware is untouchable yet will only play him 20 mins give or take a game.


Spo has done this with Jovic, too. Ware got that treatment in the playoffs (he got 22 minutes in each play-in game and averaged 18mpg v the Cavs) and even during the regular season some. From his break out games in late January, Ware played < 25 minutes in 13 of 36 games (he averaged about 27mpg in total).

I don't think Westbrook would accept coming off the bench with Miami. I can't blame him. Would Miami accept that?
