This is why we suck. We can’t recover any more from Spo’s non sense. We haven’t been the same since PJ Tucker left. The front office also sucks at disregarding the 4 spot or has been brain washed by analytics


I blame overcompensating for Bams weaknesses (every facet of basketball on both ends)

Bam needs to go to a team like Hou or San Antonio in the summer when he's eligible to be traded.

Mia in return can get a package of picks and/or young players.

Mine as well suck with Ware and at least see what his potential is next season.


FO doesn't need to make the Bam decision now. Move Butler give the keys to Herro and Bam. See how they fare over the next 56 games. Depending on how they play we either for go another star or trade both in the offseason. No matter what happens for the rest of the season, Bam trade value won't tank just because he's an elite defender. But Butler should be moved asap. I'd sit until I can move him. Lets not risk him getting a serious injury because FO wants to drag this along.

Waiting on Twitter to get the statistics of the team’s defensive ratings with Bam on/off the court to show he isn’t to blame for team’s failure.

Stay tuned!

Lol I notice this and it's actually ridiculous. It would be better to just let him have a bad game and accept it and let everyone eventually move on than go to very transparent lengths to make it into a positive or someone else's fault.

But whats up with this Dru, Terry , Herro lineup? No other coach in the Association
would run this lineup even with a Big 4 next to bam.And yet, we have another undersize 4 to make it even smaller. It makes no sense at all. Last year we ran the gabe, lowery, herro lineups with a small 4 as well. When does this small ball end? Will it ever end or do we need to move on from spo or bam?

By rule, they cant make a decision on Bam now which is why I said in the summer when he becomes trade eligible.

Spo’s small ball has always been Bam’s death knell. I go back to that Milwaukee series when we got swept. Next year we signed Tucker and Morris and got the first seed. This front office and coaching staff continues to ignore this massive problem

If the coach won't change and wants to play small ball with a 6'9" C, then it might be time.

Spo is an excellent coach, but you must try other things if things are not working. If not, then it might be time to change.

I think Bam can play PF more effectively and put Ware in charge of playing C.

TBH, I'm not sure I like anybody else. Pelle has potential, but it is still too early to tell. They are all inconsistent.
