Lets concentrate on the game first. Check your anger and disappointments first boys... we can revisit that after the game

Neither. The dude isn’t even playing.

This is what Paolo said last summer. Our FO is not listening.
Luka has been in LA for less than a week and the Lakers already got him the type of big he wanted.
This FO is trash.
Devil’s advocate, Paolo’s last game was one of his better and that’s because he focused on setting the table and being the PG (also helps the team was making shots for once).
This season is now an opportunity for him to grow his impact rather than just being a foul hunter.

Well, as long as we get to play against bad defenses (like the Kings) in the playoffs, we'll be great!

“Banchero, a lot of standing around” yeah…that’s probably why we needed a trade for a shooter.

This FO is trash.
What kills me is the narrative that "this will help Paolo & Franz develop more". They have played without a PG for nearly 3-4 seasons now, getting a PG is the next step to allow them to develop, not leaving them without one.
Tatum & Brown developed while having a PG, why do we not have to have one in order for Paolo & Franz to develop? fill in the gaps and you see that the real answer is our FO is an incompetent, inactive bunch
and i didnt even like what was available during this deadline, but we've had so many previous opportunities in the past and didnt do so

Franz adding the mid-range game doesn't seem to have gotten much attention

That Nikola call out is weak compare to “Keegan Murray”.

Staggering is a double edged sword because it also means less time together too. But Mose for three years now has treated the end of 1st-early 2nd as bench time basically and it usually goes decent but some games it can backfire.
