I always felt like Kanter was on a short leash with the front office. This doesn't help his long term prospects. I love his offense but I'm sick of one dimensional players anyways.

We have three guys that aren't going to be traded. Sabonis possibly a 4th, just on potential.

Everyone else should be fair game. We need to remove some of these purely one dimensional players in favour of some actual two way talents. Presti needs to move away from these kinds of players and just get players that are good now, that are sure bets, and most importantly, aren't completely detrimental on either offence or defence (or both in the case of Singler).

Russ, Steven, nick, Vic, Sabonis, and Abrines I'd doubt get moved within the next year and half, everyone else should be free game.


Think Vic, Sabonis and Abrines would be available for the right trade. The rest I agree with.

I'm one of the few people who thinks Vic doesn't stay long-term.

I think Vic is locked in long term unless we're talking Paul George/j-but type trade. I just don't see presti moving him after coveting him for 3 years. Sabonis is here until Donovan is canned I'd bet, he's the perfect pf for the system. And i think presti is higher on Alex than any other team would be. I guess I don't believe they're untouchable, but I think he'd ask for so much that it makes them virtually untradeable.

I'm interested to see how the bench looks w/o him honestly.

F'ing Kanter

What a dumb way to get injured. Hopefully Vic can get some more shots and step up a bit.

We could be pleasantly surprised but I think we know how it will go.

I think we've got to move one of our end-of-bench guys for a scrubby PnR-type big.

What lineup exactly did they run?

I think it was cam/dipo/abrines/grant/steven. Dipo was hitting shots off the dribble like he was Russ though, so who knows how effective it would be next game.

2 minutes played, +92 NetRtG. Seems legit :D
