Jeffries (R Hand), Richards (R Rib) and M Williams (L Foot) are out

Mann (Low Back) is questionable.

Has anyone found out why Jeffries is on the roster?

Nobody knows, he was required to get those second round picks in the KAT trade but other than that my understanding is the contract was not guaranteed and he could've been waived year 1. Maybe there's some rule where he has to be rostered for a certain period of time.

nope, he's guaranteed this year and unguaranteed the next two, but so were Duane Washington and Charlie Brown and we were happy to kick them to the curb immediately.

I think the team actually wanted Jeffries. He was the first to be announced as part of the trade, days before it was finalized.

But I agree he's a complete waste of space with our depth of mediocre wing role players, and his injury. that roster spot is better utilized when we're so short handed at more than one position.
investigate Adam Silver

We could improve the roster right now by signing DSJ, never playing Micic again and adding someone like McDaniels over Jefferies.

start of the game is exactly what everyone envisions as a perfect world of a Ball/Miller/Bridges trio

Moving screen called on Green but then Simmons pushes, turns, elbows Ball on the other end and nothing.

I think other teams know Charlotte is a bad screening team and game plan to flop on them as much as possible

Not really bad at it per se, the high frequency (3rd in the league screen assists per) just makes screw-ups more apparent.

Brandon has a really bad habit of trying to dump it down to Diabate in terrible spots. That’s where he needs his inbetween game back

Salaun looks stiff as a board defensively
