Bloody 27th pick, there is so much luck in drafts.

Why couldn’t Marty mcfly go get us a future nba almanac so we know the future steals.

If you go back and look at draft threads I was advocating trading up for Kuzma. I had a feeling he’d be a steal. Surprised scouts slept on him so much.

Yeah but let’s be honest, if he were with us he wouldn’t be getting the burn he is in LA.

That’s why I want our staff fired from Cho down to Clifford and especially Silas who’s been the head of player development and the mainstay of all irrelevancy since I’ve been watching this team.

Serious questions:

Ben Mclemore or Jeremy Lamb?

Nik Stauskas or Jeremy Lamb?

Mario Hezonja or Jeremy Lamb?

Don't understand why that is a serious question.

Because those are all guys that we (not exactly me) clamored over to draft as our SG of the future in recent years.

In all fairness this year's Lamb is far better than 2013, 2014, or 2015 Lamb.

If you compared their career numbers it’s unfair to put Lamb in their category.

Ok?

What's your point?

We need to value Lamb’s development as a part of the future and stop treating him like a stopgap wing.

So are you complaining about our views on Lamb?

This seems like the most random "everyone say they like Lamb" comment.

I’m not complaining per se but I am taking a shot at the organization’s development of players within as well as taking a indirect dig at some of your views of Lamb compared to other players that were considered ‘sureshots’. I remember reading that McLemore will be as good as Ray Allen. I remember reading that Stauskas is guaranteed to be a perennial top 3pt shooter in the league, etc, etc.

Yeah, Lamb's development sure shows that we suck at developing talent, especially compared with how our coaching staff failed to develop McLemore and Stauskas.

You’re still blind to what I’m saying. I’ll let you continue to believe in everything that the organization is doing that has lead us to this piece of trash that we are now tho. Your points are irreverent and your opinions are moot...whenever you do have them.

You don't know what I believe. You're just making an asinine argument cause you're in that petty, self-congratulatory mode you get into.

I’m right enough to congratulate myself a lot.

Especially when you can do the logic gymnastics of patting yourself on the back for your criticism about our team's inability to develop talent by pointing to Lamb's development.

It is a bit striking that Lamb seems to have been downgraded in the rotation against Milwaukee. I wonder if his minutes will continue to slip or if it was just a specific matchup thing.

I'm not complaining about Treveon's increased minutes (hes young'ish and showing good signs), but I feel like they should come at the expense of MCW and Batum rather than Lamb.

PHI is 1-9 in their last 10, 4 games under .500. That tank is far from validated.
