Anyone disagree that burton needs to play alot more? This makes no sense, Ferguson unfortunately only had 1 good month, and is in way over his head. Think he's also better than nader by quite a bit.

Yes. Burton is a scrub. If this is what it has come down to, we need to rebuild.

Burton is a starter level player, guy needs to get all of Naders minutes. I don't mind keeping Ferg in the starting lineup (with reduced minutes), but Burton should be getting 20 minutes a game against 2nd units and some with the starters. It's like we drafted Zion Williams and put him in the dog house. Dude is around 280, all muscle, great passing, great defense and can get his own shot anywhere.

Nader has been better on both ends of the floor recently, but he's no Burton. Ferg is decent, but I think if Burton had his opportunities he'd be lighting it up.

Elaborate? What do Ferguson and nader do better specifically, that warrants burton never playing? Don't make the same mistake you made with grant now........burton has looked good almost every time he's had decent run.

Why? Playoffs are coming up fast, Ferguson has been a nothing on both ends, nader is what he is (good for a min salary guy). Burton has looked the best out of the 3 yet plays 0 min. 2 of those 3 will be in the playoff rotation, seems pretty important to pick the best 2.

What specifically do you think Ferguson and nader do better than burton? Tell me again what I'm not seeing :lol:

are they "making blocks before shot happens" like adams too?

Here you go, this is what competent coaching staff does for its clientel.

Have you ever seen us running 50% of this type of complexity Warriors are running ? I'm not saying we should run so many shooting actions, but we have plenty of fire power to run something unique to our own.

Absolutly disgraceful productivity of our coaching office throughout this decade.

So this is the subject of the Heat postgame, but I think a rebuild is only somewhat realistic if you one of the following happens (I’m assuming Russ and PG is here to stay).

1. Is ownership willing to pay a diminished tax bill even if it’s repeater for the next few seasons. If so you can take back less than ideal longer term salary for what you can get for Adams and Schroder while acquiring assets.

2. Pay the cash and whatever junk seconds to move 2Pat this summer after he picks up his option. This takes another decent chunk out of tax bill.

I think there is a certain wing in Minnesota that OKC could acquire for Adams while also acquiring pick 14 in this draft and Okogie. I don’t like Wiggins but this could be a start to a rebuild.

Adams, Schroder, and 2Pat

For

Wiggins, Dieng, Okogie, and Minnesota 2019 1st

Don’t kill me for this one

he played 6 minutes. He's a role player. Nice stat/sample combo. I'm sure the -13 was entirely on him. I see adams managed to attempt 6 fgs! Way to step it up and be aggressive stevie!! That's why he gets the big bucks!

Yea he played 6 minutes cuz hes a bum. But yea should totally start at the 2. Even tho hes short and overweight for his position. Who cares about defense.

Yea and Adams only missed 1 shot. Billy should have got him more shots

10 years. What's the one constant? Russell Westbrook. With his skill set and aptitudes (or lack thereof) I'm more or less convinced any team featuring him as a centerpiece is going to have a pretty vanilla offense.
