What do we need? Do we even need to make a trade? After the Laker game our schedule gets tremendously easier. Seriously. After the Christmas game our schedule for pretty much the rest of the way is LAUGHABLE. We've done our hard work early. That was a smoking hot Clippers team we just played that had won 8 in a row and we blew their doors off.


What they need is to convert that 2 way contract of Neemias into a full one. Is there still any doubt about Queta from the front office? Wyc was singing his praises when he sat in the broadcasters' table during the game.

I've been wrong about this kinda stuff plenty of times before but I think this is a player who actually has a real future on this team. The speed in which he processes the game is noticeable. Definitely a project but I see upside there.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

That's really it as far as I can see. And he's gonna get a nice runway of mid teams the rest of the way to build his confidence and spell both Al and KP at times.

I think he'll end up being converted but there's 0 incentive to do it before the trade deadline. Roster spot is open atm and that's useful for trades and such. After the deadline passes, they can see if they have space and/or who of the min guys gets cut.

I was going to mention that as well. New guy gets minutes over the Rook?

New guy is 5 years older than the rook, probably more NBA-ready.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

This was a nasty move. Might be the first time JT pulled this off. He usually does the Smithy. This was different. And the War on Theis rages on.
