we don't need what Fultz brings. It's a fit thing with "the core"
Who said that? I bet Mosley thinks the opposite

Lets just wait for the inevitable bad games from Black ( letsbface it, he is a rookie ) before we rev the engine to drive Fultz to the airport.

Isn’t that kind of one of the benefits of this change. It’s not like Fultz is an elite facilitator and runs high efficient offenses.

The fact that Black can play off the ball allows for the better players to have the ball in their hands more often. Black is a willing and looking to be capable shooter. And the ball doesn’t stop when it gets to him. He makes quick decisions with it. Then add in the defensive duo of him and Suggs together is pretty fun to watch as well.

they have a top-5 player that can't make ridiculous shots. You never feel good going against Luka until the game is over.

Thats true but if Franz and Paolo can run the offense then there is no real point to Fultz. Last season we needed him because they weren't ready, but they seem ready now it seems (so far).
Dude, Paolo and Franz did last the offense bringing the ball up last season which resulted in 5-20 record

I am confused by this statement, isn’t this more reason to get rid of Fultz? If Fultz is best used on ball, if pushed off ball he would struggle quite a bit since he can’t shoot. And we have Franz and Paolo.

I mean, I'm not mentally putting too much pressure (yet) on our young guys to win against good teams, especially with how injured we are. That helps me to not get too tense, at least.

Except for against the Lakers because screw the Lakers.

That is a lame offensive foul call. Just a good, hard screen!
