James Jones is going to trade our pick for Rozier isn’t he?

I think we need to watch them more. Zion hit his only 3 last night. The main thing is, if we get more stars, Booker has to trust them at the end and we need to play team ball all the time.

Because either of those guys could potentially be our best player. Zion seems really exciting, but Barrett is #1 for a reason and an all around stud.

Reddish too.

I'm sure some others will emerge.

Getting pretty cringy mate

No draft pick can save a team with this coach.

Barrett is our chance to correct our mistake of not getting Doncic.

Well, he did have an above avg game from 2 pt range, shooting 40%, but from 3 he was only 33%. He did have one assist but that came with a turnover.

Some rebounds thought. $16 or $20 million? What do you think is fair?

I mean those stats might not look great, but he was going against a juggernaut team tonight.

I *try* harder than any NBA player you have ever seen. I'm 5' 8". I *try* like crazy. I have to play hard or I get clowned. I'm small and slow. I'm Jared Dudly and Dellavadova, minus 8 inches.

But trust me, you don't want me on the Suns.

Trying is nice and all. But Bender is a 100% scrub. Im sorry.

Anderson is currently WORSE than Bender was last season by just about every metric. Even if Bender regressed, he'd be about the same as Anderson. Bender actually got a tiny bit better between his rookie year and his sophomore season. Let's at least see if he made even a minuscule improvement.

Why? You're defending Bender a bit harder than I can understand.

I am not disagreeing about Anderson.
You keep bringing him up.
And I keep agreeing with you. Bench Anderson. I agree. Bench Anderson. Anderson is bad. Don't play him. Bench him. I agree with you.

But with Bender, well, I don't agree with you.

Because I want to assess our entire roster before we start the trade game all over again. I think we should be looking to give Okobo some starts and Bender some minutes before we get suckered in to trading for Terry **** Rozier and whatever mediocre PF this board is creaming over.

They didn't even know to foul there? For Pete's sake!

I've heard Koko at the podium. His English is fine. I'm sure he says "foul" just fine.

Your workplace communication is irrelevant. This was a basketball huddle. Obviously there was a problem. There is no way there should be a miscommunication at that point in the game over something so simple

The basketball huddle is a workplace in the NBA. I think my experience talking to people in English is relevant. But whatever.
And maybe there was a problem. I did not disagree. Im just saying that the problfem was not English.

Your workplace is not the same as a basketball huddle. It has no bearing. You communicating in English has no bearing. There was a miscommunication in this basketball huddle. Igor said they were suppose to foul. Booker thought they werent suppose to foul. It's perfectly reasonable to suggest that Booker did not understand Igor. By extension, it's perfectly reasonable to suggest maybe Booker didnt understand because Igor does not speak fluent english.a

Would you rather have Ayton and Bridges or Doncic? What if I add Mitchell Robinson to the latter?

This is a serious problem, you can call it miscommunication but it seems to be clearly more than that.

I agree with everything youre saying except about Bender. You seem to think we have not seen him play for two years. We know what he has. Nothing. False hope. I dont want to make stupid trades. I just dont need to see Bender and neither does anyone else. He is toast. Done. Out of the league.

Now that I have seen them play in the NBA, Doncic every day of the week, Aytons defense is that bad.
