Gotta give Coach Mose his flowers.

KCP said that was the best win of his career other than winning the championships.

that's what it did sound like. Sounds like the FO has let him know that he might get moved.

That or he has asked for a change of scenery if a trade makes sense for the team.

Same. He just sounded like a weight was lifted off his shoulder because he knows he has been playing horribly.

Awesome that we won but after the Moe injury, I just so numb to getting excited for basketball this season. We just can't have anything good and all our favorite players are paying for our sins.

I think he knew his name was out there and he hadn’t been able to perform well enough to keep it off the block, but he loves the team and loves being here and I think that is worth more to WePark than an upgrade at this point.

If anything, I’m starting to think Jett is the guy who might get shopped. He looked a little dirty on the bench tonight - though I may be misinterpreting him just being locked in.

I've always thought Queen looked good (in the very few minutes I've seen)...him on a vet min is certainly more palatable than Gary next year as we start to hit the rookie extensions and tighten the rotation. The last 3 or 4 guys on the active roster can't be getting paid much from here on out.
