Zero chance. It has to be an offensive player.

I saw Paolo grabbing like he tweaked something after a play. I thought it was his groin.

Who are you suggesting? Jett to replace Paolo? Jett isn't good. We could pull the trade for Cam Johnson.

****, I'd prefer we dont rush him back at all and let him fully recover consider how oblique injuries can become nagging injuries that follow players around for a large part of their career

aka we are going to be a playin team at best, potential lottery

gutting development

And we are on a tough five game road trip now plus we just lost the 20 point lead at Chicago. This stings. We really had a chance to make some noise in the East this year. And right now we are probably play in bound at most in the first half of the season.

I hope we go lottery and get into Cooper Flagg sweepstakes. I am just kidding. But this is really bad.

Hope Paolo the best recovery. And come back strong.

Get well soon king. This sucks.

Explains why he was so passive the second half.

Moe or Jett.

Goga would be horrible for the offense.

this explains why Paolo was not driving to the rim at all in the 2nd half and passed up the last shot to end the game

even more reason why we need more players who can create with the ball in their hands, having just 1 of either Paolo or Franz out hurts us dramatically offensively

**** man, such a hot start to the season and now this. That's so much of the season lost, rest of the team need to step it up big time now!

Moe could play along with Wendell. Jett isn't ready yet to be a winning player. It would be a huge disaster playing a lineup of Wendell, Jett, Franz, KCP , and Suggs.

Our next year's pick suddenly became more valuable.

I think we should sit Paolo out for the rest of the season if we do bad for the 2 month stretch without him

Oblique injuries can be really tricky, and I'd much rather this not be a nagging injury for the rest of his career just so we can make a play in spot

This draft is loaded too, which is a nice consolation prize, but nothing close to us going deep into the playoffs this year

This is why we need a real PG, and other offensive threats who can create with the ball in their habds

We are definitely not bad enough to tank. Let's not be silly and have these talks right now lol. Last thing we need is more young guys to try to work into the team.

basketballRob · Post #35 » by **basketballRob** » Fri Nov 1, 2024 2:19 am

Weltman, the evil genius, is thinking Paolo won't be on the all-nba team.

I don't think we should tank at all, we should play it out and try to win with the guys we have available right now

but simultaneously we shouldnt be trying to rush Paolo back from this kinda injury

We have Cole and pick, and we could get Cam Johnson here. I'm interested to see how TDS and Goga will look getting some of Paolo's minutes. TDS and Franz could speak German to each other on the court to have an advantage.
