What should be do with Killian?

Bench him when Burks comes back until he earns his minutes.

Keep playing him since we're on the hook for his $7.5 million next season anyways.

And you're still butthurt that the Pistons didn't draft Mobley. Borrow some of Motown's Midol. It will help with those cramps.


I was fine with Cade. I wanted Haliburton over Hayes called him "Andre Miller with a 3 point shot" before the draft and Haliburton is looking like a star and Hayes looks like he doesn't belong... but no one gets them all right. At some point just need to cut your losses and try to develop other guys. Right now I'd have all our ball handling done by Cade and Ivey having them split time to develop those guys I hate wasting possessions on still trying to polish that turd that is Killian Hayes.

Fine with Cade? :lol: You dump on him every chance you get.

Killian is showing that he's a turd. You'll get no argument from me no matter how much hyperbole you want to throw out there. But hey, if we're going to throw hyperbole around in the name of good fun, no problem. I just don't form abnormal attachments to players not drafted by the team I follow. But if that's your thing, go for it.

It's hilarious cause he doesn't even know he's the one that bitches non stop about the silliest arguments while letting nothing go for years.

Suffering from a condition and being the only guy in the room who doesn't know it, kinda sad but funny cause its the internet.

While you're bitching about the silliest arguments rather than letting it go. :lol:

Yep, your screen name needs to be Irony. And work on sharpening that wit 'cause I'll keep eating you alive otherwise. :P

Would a Killian for Thybulle swap be even or no?

Isn't Thybulle a really good defender who cant get playing time cause of his offense? Seems like a waste of time and the same problem. Not sure if Philly would do it anyway.

That $7M+ option for next season sucks. Aside from being horrible, part of the reason I despise watching him play is the fact it reminds me of who we passed up in the draft for him and that he’s still under contract next season. :banghead:

I think it's time to give up on him, then again the tank does matter like Piston Pete said so whatever

Casey's post game comments on Killian were that he came in and tried to hurry/force things rather than let things happen. Sounds like Casey wasn't happy with a few of his possessions/shots.

He's been incredibly disappointing so far. He looked like he might be turning a corner in preseason, but he's been awful in the first 4. Still, he's the only guard playing anything resembling NBA level defense, so I'm not sure what good benching him is going to do.

The only time Killian looked like he was turning the corner sadly was when we were playing the Thunder.

I'm sure that's why Thybulle isn't playing. Just figured flop for flop. Don't think it works anyway Salary wise.

Think im done with wings that can't shoot anyway.

On a team that is in development and using a long bench, generally looking bad and losing games, he may as well get some minutes and see if something can click. Time isn't on his side though.

On the bright side

Kevin Knox is giving a run for Hayes' money in terms of being the worst player in the league so far. Really ideal that we have both

There are a ton of reports flying around in this thread and the game thread, both of which will be locked. I've got the same people reporting posts and being reported at the same time- which makes it especially difficult as a moderator to deal with.

Guys, this is supposed to be a CIVIL environment. Consider this a public warning to all involved- we don't accept personal insults.

If you've got a problem with a poster, keep it to basketball related topics. And if you can't do that, ignore them. There is no option 3- at least not one that falls within our rules.
