Kornet lost his job lol. Still a nice insurance for worst case scenario at times.

Man Queta is such a revelation, convert him to a regular contract already. We don’t need another big he just needs to develop.

Would like to see him slow it down just a touch on his shots, he rushes them but that will come

Just take Tatum out for this game, he’s literally limping. He’ll be out next game for sure. So unfortunate.

I have nothing against luke, but Queta can take all his minutes as far as I'm concerned.

So nice to have a beast down in there. Q-Man with EIGHT boards already!

If we're being honest Kornet seems like a nice guy who wouldn't hurt anyone.. Big Queta looks like a crazed killer when he tries to block shots..

Can two-way players play in the playoffs?

I don’t think Tatum would want to miss playing a Christmas game against Lebron lol. But we’ll see. If there’s any kind of swelling then yeah rest him and honestly we should easily win the next 3 games after the lakers game without him.

Bones Hyland is a character, that's for sure lol.

In B4 someone says 7 were getting his misses..

Queta on the path to get signed to a standard contract before season end. Brad just milking the savings on tax and such, won't sign him soon.

No but we have an open roster spot and can easily convert Queta to a regular contract.

So Joe must be a hand ball fan watching Kornet rebound vs Queta.

Yea in the quarter that Tatum sat after playing the first 12 minutes :wink:

Queta is absolutely the type of Big we’ve been looking for all year. His defense & finishing needs some work but he’s definitely what we needed.

We will be worse if he’s laboring it.

Nope. Queta's gonna get signed, just not right now.

If the team gets another big, it would be a Olynyk, Gallo, Muscala type of shooter, I would think. Queta has got the beasty man-child role locked up for now. There's not many guys like him that will be available.
