Plumlee with a huge offensive board and earns the goal tend. Possibly unpopular opinion but is he earning a stay here?!?

Lamelo fouls out FML. Grabbing the defender after the block. He's looking pretty low IQ. Will he ever learn?

Terry has been ass tonight like most of the season. He's enjoying and coasting on that 5 year security he signed last year.

Yeah it's difficult to be good at something when you have a single digit IQ.

Massive clutch tank loss. We need to keep Terry as he is the ultimate tank commander.

His total disregard for defense combined with blinkered vision, chucking tendencies and Devonte Grahamesque scoring efficiency we will be morals to finish with the worst record in the league if we shut down the other point guards.

Plum has played really solid recently.

Should get us a decent asset in return. Probably the best affordable/expiring C available.

41 games left and you want them to give up their best player when they aren't even eliminated from the playoffs? They only need to go 30-11 the rest of the season to finish .500. It usually takes Clifford about 50 games to figure out which players are on the team and what their positions should be, so he should have the secret formula figured out pretty soon.

You have a point. But at this point in Plumlee's career, he needs help. We can't help him. The gap between him and the rest of our team is so vast that if the Pluminator doesn't have a good game, we have no chance. The best thing for us, and him, is to trade him to a contender so he can finally win the title he deserves.

So....It's time for him to take his talents to LA.

Plumlee, Oubre + Rozier for Davis, Reaves, 2 LA firsts and LeBron's son(s).

LeBron + Plumlee is the best due since Magic and Kareem. Since peanut butter and jelly. Since tacos and Tuesday. It must be done. For the sake of Freedom. #MakeMericaPlumGoodAgain

I'm sure Milwaukee has been blowing up Mitch's phone trying to get a Giannis for Plumlee deal done, but Mitch knows when he has a really valuable asset on his hands and isn't going to bite unless they offer all of their 2nd round picks.

I think the Hornets development staff could really turn around Giannis' career by teaching him to shoot left handed. It really makes sense for everyone to figure out a way to get this done.

do we keep him so Richards stays on the bench and gets a cheaper contract??

maybe Mitch is smarter than we think!

When Myles Turner looks engaged and plays like he gives a **** he's a force out there.

I asked Clifford about LaMelo Defense, he said:

"I think his defense if you look at the numbers are much better than they were a year ago"


what numbers? cliff just says stuff.

The last assist that LaMelo got on the one handed wrap around pass from under the basket to PJ at the top of the key was pretty sick.
