Both teams are decimated at the point guard position.

Down to their 4th option.

Noel can't stop Vuc, Ross plays like prime TMac with this much rest.

I really don't like playing AG and Evan if they're at all fragile...another twisted ankle, etc could shuttle any talks quick.

any surprise DNP's have to be analyzed with less than a week until trade deadline (Ross).

AG and Fournier might be the opposite, may need to show they're ok before resting them.

Does anyone else watch AG play, when healthy, and find themselves trying to remember why they want to trade a 25-year-old, solid defender who has ballhandling and facilitating skills and is about to enter their prime? No? Just me?

K, I'll see myself out.

Man, for someone who was so NAW-or-die, Chuma has won me over in the biggest way! He just seems so level headed, poised and professional. Even if he doesn't project to be a star, another good, respectable dude to have on the team is a bright spot. I've loved everything I've seen from him this season, ups and downs.
