Other than Kemba and Lamb, we do not have any decent veteran talent. Mitch has a tough job ahead of him unless he can move some of the bad contracts. Hopefully we will not have to give up any first round draft picks.

Defensively, I think Marvin would’ve made a difference on Gordon tonight.

I assume Borrego will be back, which means under no circumstances should Batum be allowed to return. He must be gotten rid of. I don't really want to give us anything to move him, though. I'd rather take on another team's bad contract because even a """bad contract""" will probably provide us with a helluva lot more than Batum would. He's just such a trash player. I don't see how his teammates can even stand him. I'd be so pissed if someone was playing alongside me for so long and yet giving so little.

Batum for Parsons.

i vividly remember the "batum isn't a bad player he's just a bad contract" talk :lol:

Borrego did good down the strech when he let the young guys play hopfully he remembers that next year and play them from the start and let the trash rot on the bench.

Kemba got a well-deserved standing ovation. I'm tearing up inside. ****!!!

I'd still like for us to find some way to keep Lamb. I guess it doesn't seem likely, but who knows. He's turned into a really good player over these past few years.

Detroit's going to get pummeled without Blake Griffin.

I'll be rooting for Toronto and Indiana.

He only did that as a last resort after his preferred players were out with injuries.

I have no faith in him. If Batum and Marvin are here next year, I fully expect him to start them yet again.

ESPN crew saying they hope Kemba goes to the Lakers. Like that’s a great situation right now.

Listening to them makes me appreciate Eric Collins so much more.

I just found out Doris Burke was the woman on the mic. She was horrible. She's better off as a courtside reporter.

Lmao what? How tf is ESPN still a thing? Why do these idiots keep getting hired?

I'd rather see Kemba go to the Clippers than the Lakers, to be honest.

I think we make massive roster changes. I think just about everybody including MJ is sick of this ****.

Shoutout to Cody Zeller who couldn't play a single game in the last 4 weeks because he was sore.

I want Cody, Batum, Biz, Marvin, and MKG off the team. Cut them and take the dead money as losses, I don't care.

No way this team can fire a "Pop guy" who many around the league believed was the next line to become a head coach which he did. The organization does not have a good reputation around the league as is. Unless the team somehow lucks into the top 3, whatever pick the team ends up with should be packaged to get out of the last two years of Batum's contract. The good news is Biyombo, MKG and Marvin only have one year left on their deals. Here's to some lottery luck with one of the South Carolina guys in Zion or Morant becoming a Hornet.

I would love it if we can move off of those contracts somehow. I think some of them may have perceived value to other teams too. Cody probably the most.

Id be shocked if Kemba was a Hornet opening night. And when that happens to not trade and get value for him would be a huge blow. All star game or not. Literally sets a rebuild back a year.

Positive side effect of winning the Zion lottery. Kemba guaranteed to stay lol
