It seems losing to the G-league Hawks wasn't embarrassing enough.

I'm not sure what it'll take to get AKME to make changes.

Credit where credit is due. The starters hustled to get that ball back and Coby got a wide open 3 for it.

Pat benched > team immediately makes a comeback

Trade him while he has any shred of value left

Honestly I don't think he has any value left (at the moment). What teams would he start on? He is making starter money. No one is trading for a 20 mil a year bench player who at PF can't rebound and only really scores from spot up 3s.

He is here for a while

Maybe some dumb team is still somehow intrigued by his potential since he is still relatively young. But yes most likely AKME has waited too long, again, and now that player is untradeable. Quite a track record they are amassing with that aspect.

Player Option Pat :lol: :banghead:

Been good entertainment even if we're down. 29 field goals on 21 assists is nice basketball to watch.

They should've tested the market with him. Where was he going to go?

The only team who was rumored was OKC and I think AKME pulled the trigger on his deal thinking they were cutting off Presti. I don't think that is a great idea. Usually people who think they are getting one over on or outsmarting Presti in any way are usually wrong.

That dude doesn't miss. Even the Harden trade was because of ownership and as far as I can remember he made the best move available. Which was a turd sandwich, but you get my drift.

The other move he messed up on was Kendrick Perkins, both trading for him and signing him to a long term deal. That tightened his budget and may have been one reason why he had to trade Harden (correct me if I'm wrong about that part).

Looks like Pat has nearly been benched. On track for less than 20 minutes tonight.

3 minutes left in the 3rd and this is a super close home game ... with the 2nd worst team in the NBA. Woof. Wish they would give Matas more minutes.

great point. I forgot about that. I think they traded for Perkins thinking they needed a lane clogging big and then like 2 years later guys like him and Hibbert were done.

Ayo is a better match up at PF than Pat. Think about that..

Pat has zero hustle out there and when he does move he looks like he has cement shoes. Just sluggish af.

I don't understand why Giddey and Pwill get so much, or any, run.

Giddey is giving us nothing this quarter.
