Very true. Minutes are going to be tight in that backcourt. I have Robinson and Dipo starting. Goran is going to get his minutes but also probably get more days off. That leaves Baby goat gang Nunn and Herro fighting for minutes. Possibly Robinson slides more to SF when Butler is subbed. Regardless Spo has luxury of playing hot hands. Front court still remains a disaster. Achuiwa is not a Center by any means. Team is not doing him any favors putting him in terrible spots.

or his name isn't in trade rumors

I think his minutes being threatened, plus a little brutal honesty from Jimmy Butler, played a role in it. If Oladipo means Herro will play and show more action like ive seen the last two games, then that trade is a whole lot more valuable than just getting Oladipo in the team.


And farfetched/hopeful thinking if it means Herro starts to play in such a level that the Wizards are willing to talk and have Herro as a main piece in a trade, then that trade is a jackpot.

Iguodala was so brutal from 3 tonight. His shots are abysmal

If Bam encounters any foul trouble this team is so phucked in the front court.

Desperately need a semi competent big for emergencies. P ain’t it right now. Rate the kid, but he’s not a 5.

Looking forward to seeing how a Nunn and Dipo backcourt looks like. Feels like it could be an explosive scoring pairing when Jimmy is off the floor.

Losing KO left a giant sized hole at Center for us. Wish we could have given up Iguodala instead.

Only 5 minutes. Probably needs a few practices under his belt

We need to just get Cousins here and be done with it... i feel like Riley is waiting out to see who gets bought out... we need size now.. and cousins at 20 minutes per game will help

We win, but first half was not impressive, spo keep trying to experiment putting the ball in herro's hand at this stage of the season is concerning. Hope they can find a good big, even to nerlens noel level, precious looks lost

Would like to see Achuiwa in lineups with Bjelica,Butler,Herro, and Dragic. Butler, Herro, and Dragic all put Achuiwa in good spots while Bjelica gives us that shooting big to allow Achuiwa to just concentrate on rebounding and rolling to basket.

April 9th is the deadline for buyouts so probably right

Precious needs g league and summer league.. i still think he can be a player in this league... but he definitely needs a lot of 1 on 1 coaching

Way too raw to be getting any playing time with a team looking at making the playoffs. We need a vet front court player badly. This is why Aldridge was needed. Shame Cousins does not look like an organizational fit.

Damn, just imagine if could add another scorer to this team.. a guy who could drop 20 and play great defense as well. Someone like Oladipo or someone. Man, we'd be really good. Just imagine.

Maybe in the offseason we can pick up someone.

We have money to keep all the players and to add Kyle Lowry as well.
