It's basically full circle. We're back to where we were last year.

Trade some of these no defence bums for Larry Sanders

Post game:

Don't really need to wonder what its like in the locker room when you see them jawing at eachother all game. Thomas yelling at DWill. Gay telling Cousins to chill out. Jason Thompson yelling at himself. Just an overall mess that's is being perpetuated by a mess of a roster.

The team remains active in trade discussions and is "swinging for the fences," according to one executive.

Traded away some defensive minded players.

Young fellas trying to prove they can last in the NBA.

Guys playing for first decent size contract.

Losing.

Recipe for cluster cluck.

Team leader likely to always speak his mind.

Wonder if Malone is starting to have some regrets?

I was at the game and could hear a little of the fighting. JT was (rightfully so) pissed at IT for not passing it ahead when he got chased down by CDR. Isaiah yelled back at him, Cousins joined his side. JT yelled at Cuz, "I was way ahead!" JT was teamed up on a lot during the game. At one point IT and Cuz approached JT at mid court and Cuz said demonstratively, "Just get your ass out of the way!" Out of context that sounds worse than it is, because I think they were talking about a specific play.

No matter what is said and goes down, I would not get too worried unless it is after trade deadline and involving long term money commitment.

I'd hate be Malone right now. Things should settle down after this season, hopefully after trade deadline, but likely to go into the off season.

Malone's dad was smart enough to quit even before the season began...

I brought up a thread about this and was wondering if there was anything to see here or not.

Wonder with all of his experience he knew it would be like this and left.

I think JT and Outlaw are this teams designated punching bags. I've seen Outlaw catch a lot of heat from his teammates and his coach even when what he did wrong didn't seem exactly clear.

Sounds like they feel JT is a waste of space

My money's on IT as the "common denominator" of these infights yesterday.

Dude yelled at Acy & Williams and was showing them up by clapping and yelling. Guys, that's a bad sign.

IT - hanging out with Mayweather sure has gotten him cockier
JT - Kinda a derp
Thorton - thinks hes MJ
Cousins - always mad

The difference between these clowns is Cousins the only one that is untouchable.

We need to trade IT while his value is at an all time high. JT and Thorton will be gone regardless.

I don't know, with the way Isaiah is playing it would have to be a really good deal. Regardless of anything, team play, success, fit, or whatever, what he's done as a starter is pretty spectacular in terms of his production. I mean as a starter he's only at 21 ppg and 8 apg for goodness sake. I know production isn't everything but they better get something in return that would be worthwhile if they want to trade him otherwise it will be tough to salvage this thing. Then of course the words "contract year" will always surface to anyone watching from an outsiders perspective. Tough call.

IT is playing out of his mind on the offensive side of the ball but he has shown what a huge liability he is on the defensive end this year. You either sell him high now or you won't get anything in return when he leaves this off season.

Really, shop him around severely or commit to resign if nothing much shows up. The FO needs to really consider if he will resign here, how much it will cost etc.

If it looks like he will be a goner, make a move.

Pete really has some thinking to do.

But value is at its peak right now you are right.

If he doesn't net a trade fitting the production he's putting up I think you keep him and see if the same interested teams are willing to put their money where their mouths are this summer.

Somewhat unrelated but does Carmichael Dave bother anybody else or just me? Not saying he's not a credible source and hasn't been great for this city but he seems a tad arrogant at times

Could be booze, or maybe at times he forgot where he came from. No one is perfect.
