Why can't we have both? It's a rhetorical question I guess, and I can answer it. It's like in Lord of The Rings.... When Frodo showed the One Ring to old Bilbo, he temporarily fell into his greed for the One Ring, it scared the crap out of a lot of people when it appears on the silver screen! Still gives me the goosebumps whenever I see it. It’s even sadder to see how Bilbo reacted to his own scream, he was horrified and it reduced him to tears. That scene is a lot like the situation between McClung and Springer. You're like Bilbo in this sense, and Springer is like Frodo while McClung is an imagined manifestation of Sam Wise Gamgee. It's all going to be very confusing for a little bit, but in the end will make perfect sense and you'll understand.

Just no room in the rotation this year. Fully expect him to have a role next year, prob replacing Shake.

Springer replacing Shake. I just don't see it.
I know Kork wants a trade but be professional when you are on the court. His whole body language stinks. It just screams I don;t wan to be here. But you are still willing to cash those checks. Or maybe it just me.
Deadmon looked good in the time he played. But Doc don't even think about cutting Reed's minutes.
I love the fact that House has stayed ready and can contribute when called on. Kork take note.
Also Harden is finally making life easy for Reed. There was a time not to long ago where Harden completely ignored Reed. Now he is setting up easy dunks for him and even has a little handshake going on with him.
I like the way this team is playing, but all roads seem to lead though Boston and that's a problem.
You want it to be one way....but it's the other way.

Let’s say Springer is as good as Melton.

Having two Meltons off the bench would be great. Because it allows you to play a 3 guard unit without sacrificing on defense. Offensively that much speed is hard to match for most teams, it would make a dribble drive offense effective.

Next would be focusing to upgrade our tweeners (Tucker, Tobias, Niang and McDaniels). McDaniel’s goal in the offseason is to be a 40% shooter on corner 3s. If he want to earn a $20+M payday, he take it further and learn how to play pick and pop like Niang.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.
