Give them few more years to to evaluate before any rushed decisions :lol:

Our guard play on offense compared with rest of a league is pathetic

20 years ago the leading 3pt shooting team in the league, in terms of attempts, averaged 19. Today they would finish dead last by a massive margin. This 3pt nonsense is killing the game hence why Silver commented on it recently. It is literally the opposite of what basketball is designed to be, achieving the highest percentage look you can on each possession. Players today voluntarily do the opposite.

I mean, we are injured. Now people are acting like we're not lol.

Doesnt mean we dont need shooting/scoring from a trade. Just most of our future is out right now.

Isaac, AB and Queen keep crowding corners when Paolo isos and they can be covered by a single defender which means they’ve got 2 other guys to double and cover lanes. Gotta figure out that spacing!

Milwaukee knows we can’t shoot and will force us to beat them by shooting open 3’s. Smart game plan actually.

I mean you want to tank while we are over .500 with half the team missing most of the time. And then you want to tank for Flagg like he's Wemby or Paolo. Lol

Moe ain’t coming back. Paolo is on restriction until March. Franz will likely have restrictions. Jalen will eventually break his entire body on the court. Even at full strength they can’t shoot.

They need to add a decent scorer or Flail For Flagg.

Flagg is an amazing prospect...

Makes me think of Franz a bit...does everything and the kid should still be in HS. He's got a good mean streak too.

No one is acting like that. It’s fundamentally BECAUSE of the injuries that we’re this bad.

I know we’re not gonna do it, but I’d admire the pragmatism.

We’re a horrible scoring /3PT shooting team when healthy.

We arent tanking. It isnt an option.

That being said, Flagg is on Paolo's level. He just turned 18 and broke the ACC scoring record last weekend as a freshman. :lol:

Dont out yourself for not knowing ball. Not a good look.

That’s a terrible and disingenuous rejoinder, so I will close with an “lol” and leave you to it, sir.

That is not an excuse. Teams been playing us like this for 2 years now, but we refuse to do something completely different.

Magic y'all got some more of those bricks.

And it’s not difficult to defend us. Healthy or not.

Like you of all people should say anything about knowing ball. You just said Flagg is on Paolos level. Lol
