Because he's a Monty Williams guy. That's all it took for Jones to be convinced and not even blink when trading away Carter and a FRP to acquire him. He got that new money before he'd even put on the jersey.

Despicable, right? I wish I could be so patently mediocre at my job and get a significant raise.


Is that true? That we traded Carter too? He'd be pretty useful right now to defend Murray.


We traded Carter / Cash/ our 2021 1st ( 29th). But we could've had Carter still and Herb Jones ( who could've replaced Bridges) and not paid Shamet 10 million if we didn't do that trade. We also could've had Ayo Dosunma.

Undoubtedly. Gotta get that money line bet after the game.

Ayton needs to get back in position for a rebound and crash the rim when his teamates shoot

We are going to allow the Nuggets to come back, going back to this stagnant offense. Okogie should not be in. He makes it ten times more difficult for KD and Booker on offense.

Another problem when we up double figures, we settle for jumpers. Continue attacking the basket.

Book's tunnel vision is so maddening sometimes.

Had KD open at the top of the key and totally missed him.

The third has been historically bad for us. We can't afford to lose any ground here. We absolutely need to extend the lead but that's going to be a huge challenge now that Booker has three fouls and Durant still isn't shooting great. Doesn't help that we now have four team fouls already.

... and now Shamet is back in.

Herb would be nice right now.
