Should Poeltl start over CMB when he returns?

[Appostis]

There's a 5% chance we can trade Poeltl right now. There's gonna be a 0% chance we can trade him next season, once the extension kicks in and his cap hit becomes 28mil AAV.

talk about shooting yourself in your own foot. FO needs to find a way to get things done I guess, can't let Mamu walk for nothing.

Or maybe you guys can stop overreacting?

He has a bad back that could return to form..you guys have him as he's ready for retirement ffs

I like JP, he had an incredible 24-25 season with multiple 20-30 point games, but since he's been here its been buyers remorse from losing the 24 first rounder, to the upcoming extenstion. I prefer a Mamu/Cmb/third C rotation, JP can cut loose to a team like the bulls who have 60-70 mill in cap space next season, for example.

IF he returns

Jak doesn't exist to me right now.

When's the last time he was included in warm up?

They're probably saving him for playoffs.

And let's see what the Bulls do with the cap.

You guys are overreacting to a comical degree..

Hell the guy is likely to play tonight.

Only start ol man Yak when we face larger Cs.

Other than that let CMB develop.

[mihaic]

In the meantime we'll start Mogbo.

[tsherkin]

This is a pretty legitimate question. It's worth remembering that starting does not have to mean playing 36 minutes every night, either. So we can start CMB over Yak for development purposes, but still play Yak a decent chunk of minutes as well.

[Shakril]

Either strict minutes restriction slowly going up (start at 10) or Yak comes from the bench. Ideally by the time the playoffs come, Yak is back to beeing a 28+ min starter and CMB comes from the bench. If healthy, Yak is still the clearly better player, so there is no reason not to start him. But at this point, we all are unsure if Yak will be the same like he was just last year.

[dballislife]

honestly we should be thinking about getting rid of that contract and bringing back sandro who is looking more useful, and can actually play with barnes and cmb

you think boston still wants him for simons expiring?
