What we need to contend is Paolo and Franz to get 1-2 more years in the NBA

Gotta clean up some glut on the roster in order to open up playing time for others

Makes too much sense man

Yeah until him and Paolo get into it and Paolo is asking for a trade. No thank you.

Can anyone explain to me what happen to Cole Anthony? I tried to like him, but he is not playing good basketball right now.

We need a lot more minutes from Isaac and Cole to not be Bad Cole or when he is we need coach to bench him quickly.

This. If we win, they'll kiss and make up and I can't stand Murray lol.

If we can get him at a reasonable price (don't think we can personally), gotta pull the trigger.

You guys are giving me whiplash. You want Fultz back when we were losing, then AB, then Caleb, then Jett, then Mo, then Goga. I think it's safe to say because of the youth of this team, we're so incredibly inconsistent that our players needs more development.

Okeke is actually looking solid and reliable lately. He’s earning his minutes.

Houstan has had a shot and he’s just cold right now. Let’s give Jett a run in that role instead and see what he can do with the looks the starters can generate for him.

Not much else we can do until moves are made but rearrange the pieces.

can we PLEASE get Paolo and Franz some shooters they can rely on? Paolo only took 12 shots because he was doubled all night. Other than Suggs and Ingles, we can't bank on anyone being a consistent threat. I believe in AB's and Jett's futures but would love for them to be getting backup minutes while winning.

In all seriousness I'm genuinely curious what Mosley does at full strength.

so you're cool with letting expirings just walk for nothing?



It's not like they have any real value as on-court players on the trade market. Money off the books is better than a bad stopgap trade. We're not letting star players walk or anything.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Amen. I'll lose zero sleep letting Fultz and Harris walk for nothing
