Surely it is early and Knight is injured but Watson has not included Knight in any of his conversations.
I am not so sure about your statement but I think that unless Knight can establish his worth in these final games he will probably be moved this summer. If Watson can get Knight to play the right way then we will have to make a decision between Knight and Bledsoe or we could keep both. These final 33 games are more important than people think for our future.
Watson also mentioned that he wants to get both Chandler and Len more involved. IMO their poor play has been our biggest problem this year. Len has not shown me anything except on a rare occasion. He is just too passive for my taste and I see that problem with Chandler as well. I like my bigs to be aggressive almost to the point of being dirty. They have to go after every rebound and contest every penetration to the hoop. We have had a couple of matadors in the paint all year. They make Amare look like a HOF defender. We can give them all the excuses we want but they both have sucked.
If Len does not show consistent aggression, in these final 33 games, I would show him the door. At this point he is a bust and a wasted pick in the draft. If we could package him for another big at the deadline I would not be depressed. I am really getting tired of watching him struggle night after night with little of no emotion.
As much as fans, including me, have berated Markieff all year I do not think you move him unless you get good return.
Early on I wanted to see the following lineup but Jeff refused to try it.
Chandler
Markieff
Booker
Knight
Bledsoe
Those are the five best players on our roster, IMO. With a connected Markieff it would give Bledsoe and Knight really good options to pass the ball to. Unfortunately this season Markieff was distracted and Booker was never really given consistent playing until after Bledsoe and Price went down.
If PJ Tucker is in the starting line up next year I will throw up.
I guess I am a sucker. I do not think we are as far away from being a good team as some would suggest. With a couple of good personnel moves, a good draft and a good coach I think we could be in the playoffs next year.
