Can we cut Okeke? Not sure what we were thinking in picking up his option.

I really don't think Black is looking that bad initiating tbh. I think hes going to be low usage player in his career.
The appeal with Black is because of his size and physicality it gives so much more versatility on defense and rebounding so small offensive minded guys like Cole can stay out there longer and we wont get killed on defense and rebounding.
Black just snatched the rebound from their center I love it. He's going to be perhaps a bit like Shaun Livingston who paired beautifully with Curry, obviously a small guy.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

You know, just jacking up 3s isn't nearly as fun as some think it is.

This third+ string lineup has been embarrassing so far, I hope they don't blow the game entirely.

So is it just Williams 1 on 1 that's the play we're running? Who the hell is Williams?

Jett being able to get that shoot off that quite and being able to shoot it at a good percentage will be a game changer. I have a gut feeling he is gonna be a bigger piece long term then people realize.

Gary, Chuma and the Denver pick for Brogdon.

Both Chuma and Jett have the burst speed of a C. Their legs move so slowly whenever they try to get going suddenly.
But Jett hit that 3 with only an inch of daylight, so he looks like he’ll make it work.

What’s the rotation after that trade though?

Just goes to show how thin the margins are in the NBA. Chuma's probably not getting a second contract, or isn't getting a lucrative one at least.
But if he was like 7-8% better as a 3PT shooter, he'd be in anybody's rotation.
The shooting just never came.

Jett needs to be more aggressive asking for the ball.

It wasn't only Chuma's injury, though that was part of it unfortunately, he decided he wanted to shoot one handed somewhere into his 2nd season
