I’d rather have Biyombo back than him tbh.

10000000%

He is a 2 way contract and will only see the floor in blowouts won't even be on playoff roster

Let's got Bol Bol

It’s pretty crazy to see but DA looks so checked out in this game. He’s not even trying to get rebounds for Portland. I’m pretty stoked he’s longer with us. He’s a player you can’t trust. For a team that’s trying to win a championship, it was important to get him off the team.

And when we need a big off the bench like we do now because Eubanks is out? He may have to play real minutes. Likewise with Lee.

Bates Diop is the master of 5 minute spurts that nobody notices

Nurk, Eubanks, metu, Bol, all play before he does at the 5

Goodwin GA Gordon all play before Lee

Team would have to all be in the infirmary

Let's go Goodwin

When we have a full rotation with everyone heathly, they won't see the court much. It's when one of the big 3 or Nurk nisses games then it's next man up.

Nurk is going to miss games which means Eubanks is going to start. Metu is first big off the bench. Bol Bol as the 3rd string is probably not what you want on a contender. I'd rather not have those Bol/Az as options.

Likewise with our guard rotation. When Beal is out like today or if Book is out, then GA or EG steps up and Goodwin is the only PG(ish) option and he's inexperienced. With the big's rotation, we can at least play small ball but the guard rotation could really use more passing experience

It's a shame, because he's the type of dude we're going to want the most. We need a long wing defender.

Thybulle hitting 3's consistently is gonna be a problem

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but no team is surviving if they are relying on quality minutes from the 16th and 17th guy off the bench not a single team in nba.

I suppose if there was no cap and ishbia could spend his entire fortune you could spend your way to whatever roster you wanted.

Channel 3 has been pretty bad. Video keeps getting blurry while the game is going on. Anyone else too?

So my hope is we add one more experience guard so we don't need to rely on the 16th/17th man

Like who? And who and what are you trading or cutting to match salaries?

And it only seems like a minor issue tonight because we sat 3 of our guards will never happen regular season

Booker Beal Goodwin Allen Gordon, okogie who's minutes you taking?
