Granted we are down on troops but we have to cut Bouknight and Oubre's minutes somehow.

STFU Oubre you're mouthing off at Lillard who has been schooling us and you are shooting 9% from 3 you idiot.
I'll take the double T though.

Even after all that, we're still not totally out of it.

I was expecting Oubre to jack one up since he was emotional. Thank goodness he gave it to Terry.

Clutch tank loss

We will continue to lose playing Oubre, Plumlee, and Bouknight minutes (even though Plumlee wasn't bad tonight, he just doesn't show up often enough)

PJ "Clamp God" Washington just got schooled by Simons as he takes it all the way to the rim. He's a definite candidate for trading at the deadline if we can get something decent in return.

If LaMelo, Miles and Gordon are out, this is far and away the worst roster in the NBA... I think even teams like the Spurs and Pistons, even though they are young, are good enough to beat us

If LaMelo doesn't come back this week, we have to think about throwing away the season. The roster is pitiful without LaMelo and Miles. Like 15-67 bad.

Ping pong balls is what this season is all about. I still hate seeing us lose though.

And our best perimeter defender in Cody.

We need to sell at least some of Terry, Oubre, Plum and Hayward at the deadline if we get some decent draft compensation for any of them. None of them are long-term pieces. I'd also be happy to let go of PJ if we can get anything resembling FRP value or a more cost controlled player back with promise. We are going to be put in between the proverbial rock and hard place if he goes to RFA. I haven't seen enough to give him big money.

I think this is a GREAT draft to trade back on. Hopefully we get that top 4 and trade to like 7-8 and trade a bunch of other dudes, Hayward, Rozier, PJ. And get a BUNCH of picks in return and draft well in this quality draft

We are going to get everyone back in December or January just in time to climb into the 9th worst record in the NBA by the end. Fml

We'd probably have a winning record if we were healthy. But we aren't and we don't.

Hope so. I'm intrigued to see what this squad would look like fully healthy. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's ever going to be a thing

Solution trade

Our first pick - trade back and pick up 2 lottery protected 1st and a teams first this year
Rozier - 1 lottery protected 1st
Plumlee - 2 2nd rounders
Oubre - 2 2nd rounders
Hayward - 1 lottery protected first and 1 future 2nd rounder
PJ - same as Hayward
Bouknight - 2nd rounder
Kai - 2nd rounder

Total - 5 1st rounders / and about 8 2nd rounders

LaMel / DSJ / Meledon
MoJave King / Cody
Miles / McDaniels (or Jalen Wilson)
Brazile / Thor (or Brandon MIller)
Nick / Williams

a roster that is probably better and a whole bunch of picks

Weird to have 2 away games vs the same team in a row.

Good thing Miles isn't with them, might get lost and take a drug boat to Cuba

We have become painfully boring to watch overnight.
I'll reserve further judgement and blame until we at least get Melo and gh back... I'm trying not to point fingers other than injuries, but we shall see.
