Here's a pepe stat: F-Wagner has logged more NBA games than Isaac.

And another: Banchero has logged more NBA starts than Isaac.

Lol please stop beating a dead horse with these facts!

We all get it! Jonathan Isaac has not done what he was intended to do since drafted into the NBA due to injuries!

When healthy he can play amazing basketball for us!

Hopefully JI can see all of these unfortunate events through and get stronger/more durable, then resign with us for a value deal considering how patience this organization has been to him! :D

Isaac has missed 14 games during the first 35 this season; and that's the second highest participation rate he's ever played in a season.

Yeah. It's bad...I was just looking at that and realized there were also 2 (recent seasons) not even shown in his stat sheet. I'm soo soooo sorry about it - but it's over (for me). I was more than happy with 12-15 mpg of intense defensive impact...like you KNOW when he's on the court - his effort and impact is so visible.

Might as well hang on to the end of the season...maybe, just maybe his faithful prayers will be rewarded with health, but I'm not holding my breath...assuming he doesn't play regularly in the second half of the season, it would just be malpractice to not exercise the out on his final year at $17m this summer. If he was expiring and we could bring him back for half...maybe...but (1) we can't, and (2) a good deal on a guy who clearly can't play is not really a good deal.

Sucks but...it's time to face facts.

I'm glad that our bench players found a whole new identity now while the JIs are out.
