He's only 27, if he fits, keep him.

I’d rather keep Trent and see what happens in the summer. GTJ is only 24, Brown is 27. Probably just an overreaction to Trent’s game today. :lol:

Trade him to a contender for more picks. He serves no role on a 30 win team.

What's Jalen Green's trade value?

The issue with Trent is he only seems to play well when he starts and does absolutely nothing else to impact the box score other than getting some buckets . At this point he is who he is. If he has that kind of production during his bench minutes I'd like to keep him.

Get whatever you can for him at the deadline. Maybe start him so he can guard the other teams best guard. That allows Scottie to play the 4. If he really clicks, then you can keep him. But I'd look to get something for him in a few weeks.

I don't think he's going to be traded. We seem too good to be tanking for a top 6 pick, even without Pascal. May as well use him as the POA defender and relieve Scottie from that role.

Off the bench it might work out.

IQ/Schroder
GTJ/Brown
Barrett/OPJ
Barnes/Boucher
Poeltl/Porter

Would be nice to get another shooter on the wing though

You can’t play Brown/Barrett beside Barnes though. We just fixed the spacing a bit let’s not break it again :lol:

Was Bruce Brown's name said even once during the entire broadcast? I might have missed it but I could swear they didn't say his name a single time.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Keep his Carlton lookin ass here. We need all the depth we can get.

I havent watched much of him but a quick look at youtube clips suggests he's a great finisher. I can only say that about RJ in this team. Scottie, IQ need to work on it.

I doubt we'll keep him. It defeats the purpose of the Kira Lewis acquisition.

Yeah, I know. May be try Barrett as the POA defender then and have brown come off the bench? I just don't like the idea of Scottie playing the POA defender role.

His best value for us will be as a trade deadline chip to a contender that needs POA defense. Lookin at you, GSW.

Probably hold him for too long and then trade him for 3 second round picks, hah.

I didn't hear it either. He seems like a pretty decent starter and worth considering what he can contribute to the team, but he's being completely ignored, like they all know he's getting traded.

He does fit our system because he's a smart player and an above-average passer which fits Rajakovic's offensive style. He's also a vet who's won a championship. He probably comes off the bench and plays significant minutes.

Bring him off the bench with Schroder, bench is strong
