Herro and Bam put the team on their backs to put this one away. Huge games from them both.
This is really all I wanted from this season. To see them grow into a threat-worthy tandem. Then you can just slot in a true 1a player and see what happens.

Really hoping this is Bam turning the corner for the season.

Herro can't play 48 minutes though.
Not sure what they're going to do moving forward. They definitely need another ball handler. Maybe if/when Butler is moved they get someone who can help.


Worry about that next season. If you can get one as part of the Butler trade, why not. But I wouldnt actively pursue one this trade deadline. I'm okay finishing the season as is and letting Herro, Jovic, Bam, Duncan split the point guard duties. They get their reps and FO can keep assets and see what's available in the offseason.

He's truly a terrorist, I don't dislike him as a person, I'm sure he's a good dude, but God is he bad in our system.

I don't think he's recovered from the neck injury. Yeah he does some dumb stuff, but usually his offense outshines those mistakes. He started playing well for us last season before he went down with that neck injury and hasn't been the same since. I feel bad for him.

I wish we could have a healthy Oladipo :(

Ware and Duncan were also key. If not for those 2 we wouldn't have made the comeback in the 4th, Duncan 2 back to back 3s turned the game around

Probably the vast minority opinion. This team needs a PG now

Lonzo Ball

Would trade Rozier 2026 and 2031 2nd rd picks for him no hesitation

Jovic going to be the next new addition to the starting lineup to keep him with Ware. Highsmith can’t be with that unit to start. It needs Jovic’s ball handling.

Have to give Jovic some flowers too. He hit that huge 3 in the 4th to tie it and stayed with it after a really tough start

That's not no 1 priority. No 1 priority is getting a no 1 option. I'm saving my assets for that move. Without a no 1 option even if you get a starting point guard your ceiling is 6th seed. And you're not getting one this trade deadline. We can't be desperate to improve the team now. Get as much assets for Butler, if you get decent players back see if you can move them for assets. Then see what's available in the offseason. I'm not giving picks even if its 2 2nd rounders for Lonzo Ball. There's no point.

Bam has to play inside more. He can't shoot, it's killing his efficiency. Today was the blueprint on how he has to get back to playing.

Draft lottery sounds good. Keeping our 2028 first rounder sounds better
