I hate how many rest days there are this season. I just can't justify watching other teams play very often with a 16 month old and my wife home.

Have you tried asking her to get a job?

Caris Levert is my semi-realistic-but-not-really-possible target for us. He can play shooting guard, hit the three and also play pg. He’s a guy who could play alongside Russ or lead the second unit and eliminate our backup pg issues that we’ve had in years past.

Yes! I couldn’t agree with you more but I don’t see us having anything (within reason) that Brooklyn would value over Levert’s potential.

It’s such a hard fit. Trading Levert for Ferguson is the equivalent of them hitting reset which is not what they want to do. I could see them being willing to move him for a position of need since they have also have Russell. I just don’t see how we could make it happen without a third team.

Yeah, I mean if I were Brooklyn, I think Ferguson has the highest upside out of the 2. Ferguson is still only 19 and turns 20 in May. LeVert turns 24 in August.

It’s close, but I think with Ferguson being 19, I think Brooklyn has to add some value. I’d prefer LeVert now, but I’d prefer Ferguson in 2 years. It’s a Hard call to make if you are a GM. I really like LeVert’s point-guard skills at his height and length. Lots of potential for him thriving in *gasp* our system.

Def understand the LeVert love. I really like watching this guy play when’s he in control. I get all the BKN games so if I tune in, it’s exclusively to watch him and Allen and to a lesser extent, DLo. I get that you don’t have your pick so you want to win as many games as possible, but you also have to give these young pieces run together. According to Wowy, they’ve only played 21 mins together so far.

Both of LeVert and Allen would be great for OKC.

I want to say easy win, but I remember what happened last time. Probably a trap game, tbh

Yeah, I remember watching the draft at B-Dubs and thinking that they should go for Bell or Allen since we needed front-court help because we were going to be moving Kanter's contract. Thinking back, I think I could live with Roberson/Abrines and no Ferguson but having an Allen or a Bell backing-up Adams. I was also higher on Derrick White than most and I would love to see him back-up Russ.

Coming off our other most impressive looking win of the season in a blowout win over the Warriors, we lost three straight to the lowly Pistons, Mavericks, and Magic. So, keeping in-tune with this extremely frustrating season, I'm thinking I'd actually be more surprised if we won tonight than if we lost even though we are playing the Nets.

Yep, feels like a losing streak incoming with this crappy schedule coming up. Wizards always seem to play us well too, and we have to play them twice.

PG with 16 pts in the 1st quarter

NaturalThunder · Post #15 » by **NaturalThunder** » Wed Jan 24, 2018 1:43 am

Yep, predictably flat performance at home against an awful team coming off a big win on Sunday. Two days rest and we're at a standstill four minutes into the second quarter with the bleeping Nets in the Peake.

Brooklyn's shooting is just stupidly good right now.

NaturalThunder · Post #17 » by **NaturalThunder** » Wed Jan 24, 2018 1:54 am

And the egg continues to get better.

Losing by nine an the Nets can't miss from three.

Part of our recent struggles against bad teams is that bad teams don't tend to do bad team things against like miss shots.

what's the rationale for playing huestis, ferguson, and grant together? three sub-30% three point shooters? two of them can't dribble. grant's out of position. our rotations are idiotic.

Tanking.
