If at the end of the season this is still an issue, Nate and I will take it up with the commissioner.

There was a stretch of 8-9 minutes (2nd half of 3rd quarter, beginning of 4th) in which Wolves scored 10 points. It was split evenly between IT and Ish. IT played most of the 3rd, in which the Wolves were held to 19 points.

Even Nate gave IT a defensive shout out. IT's value will never be higher. Trade now!

Had no idea you guys had that kinda clout. Are you perhaps Chinese?

I'm not opposed to trying out mo in the starting line up. Its not like Bryant is over paid and we have to play him. Bryant isn't playing awful. He's just not playing great. My worry is will mo play like this against starters or is this him being better than the bench players but he's going to get exposed if he starts .

This - he is fine. He is playing near to 30 min per game and holding his own as a starter. Arguably the second best player on the team.

We don't need to mess with Bryant, just find a way to get Mo his PT. The thing is the FC is actually playing pretty well. Bryant is fine. Bertrans if playing fine (down a bit from previous years). Mo is playing fine. We aren't going to sit Rui.

Take out Beal and Brown and what it shows us is that it is the PGs/SFs where we have a problem. Wall is coming back... any PGs or SFs in next years' draft?

Exactly mo is getting plenty of minutes off the bench and is pretty much 6 the man for us and is fine where he is. Rui and Bryant are doing fine. They have stuff to work in hell so does Mo. Brown is a work in progress and we need to work on the SF spot. PG is a desperate need right now. We need to keep an eye out for young pg talent in the dog house and maybe pull off what the nets did getting Dlo a few years ago.

We do have Wall coming back at some point. And I would like to see Brown guarding PGs (and then becoming a PG?). But then we need a SF.

Either way, the FC should be fine next year even if we don't sign Bertans (although that Bertans/Mo combo is pretty nice right now in the few games they have played together).
