We could really use a third scoring option like a Tobias Harris. George is our only efficient volume scorer. When he’s not here we have russ with a bunch of role players. Contrary to what some people want to think, schroder never has been nor will ever be that guy.

I’m almost wondering if we are trying to run him into the ground so we can afford to pay him when his contract is up in a few years.

How many freaking times is Marv Albert going to mention the 19 straight games? He’s beyond senile.

I was all for Simmons to get ROY last year but Donovan Mitchell is a way better player than him right now.

Fair to say that Ferguson is struggling a lot lately?

There are multiple versions of this player. Overpaid but will get you buckets. I know many will shudder at the thought of some of these guys but Wiggins and Lavine come to mind

Even if the offense weren’t struggling, the defensive breakdowns will be too much too overcome unless something changes. I dont care if Dennis Schroder has one of those randomly good quarters where he wins us the game. They are too few and far between. He’s not a good basketball player.

You are going to make a lot of enemies by saying this. GROD may be coming back only because of that!

I can’t think of anyone who would want Wiggins or Lavine over Harris. Tobias is a significantly better player.

Harris is for sure better. However if Harris gets a max (or really close to it), he will also fall into that overpaid bucket getting category

Can't really use the tired excuse considering he had a full week off not too long ago. He just flat out sucks right now.

When George isn’t raining threes we are a really hard team to watch. Everything is such a struggle.
