Was KPJ so bad on the Clippers that they traded him for less than a ham sandwich?

It took 4 years but the MarJon pick has paid off.

Regular season games against the worst team in the league aren't his weakness.

He has a $2.5 million player option for next year, i guess he declines that? Idk what anyone's appetite is going to be around the league on giving him any kind of longer term deal.

Much better coaching by Doc in the 2nd half. The lineup combos in the 1st half were crazy. Didn't see any that were notably bad in the 2nd half. And I liked the call to go to Brook in the post late.

On O we're still kind of a mess. Green's been off for a while & Trent was tonight. If either were going, that game's dusted early. And Kuz has to realize he plays w/ better players now. There are lineups where I get the compulsion, but the forces still carry over. I long for the day baby's put in the corner. Then we can enjoy the defensive, rebounding, & maybe offensive contributions too.

that made me miss dame. and khris. no doubt about it

good deadline tho. nailed it.

We lose this game with Dame. We needed all the defense we played. There was no room to be a little worse, and we're worse with Dame.

A win's a win's a win.
No Dame, no Bobby, no Prince, Giannis on minutes restriction, b2b, so just take the win.

How much can we offer KPJ when he declines?

A player is permitted to fall short of the 20-minute threshold twice and still have the game count toward his minimum as long as he logs at least 15 minutes in those games. So a player who plays 20 minutes in 63 games and 15 minutes in two more contests would reach the 65-game minimum

ok not great but not horrible either. first one under 20

Yeah probably, I have zero idea what his market looks like though.

Good win, but Doc has a really challenge with Kuzma's shot IQ.

Love what we're seeing with Sims defense.

Unlike you, he realized he'd have been fouled if he didn't get that up quick. And he's made that often. Didn't have the legs to turn.

Yup. Actually smart to shoot it quick.

I feel pretty good he would have hit a shot or two in the final 7 min.

We struggled on offence against one of the worst teams in the league. His efficient 25 would've been a godsend in this one.

Yeah, his past really shrinks his market. His agent might advise him to stay another year where he's having success.
