I appreciate that and still, does not change how I feel things would go.

Maybe that’s the KCP effect!

Except Ty gets his own buckets. He's not dependent on stars setting him up.



I get it, was sort of a tongue in cheek comment mixed with a trauma joke.

I have a healthy appreciation of Ty’s game and understanding of how he compares favorable to Cole

Caldwell-Pope, AB and Wendell with 26 on 15 shots. Getting role player help, Franz can't do anything, Paolo on his typical point per possession.

Joseph experiment was awesome but he sucks, no point of him over AB in a lost year IMO.

Less than 2 minutes to go, we’re down by 3 and all of a sudden at the half we’re down 10. The Cavs for the first 7/8 minutes only had 7 points and we couldn’t capitalized on that just like the playoffs. I cannot stand the offense on this team.

To be honest, I don’t think Phil Jackson or Pop can come up with an offensive scheme for the trash we have lol. We can’t shut down teams every possession & go on droughts offensively because people are over dribbling like Paolo or having the ball go off his leg like Franz. We only have two guys who can create their own offense.

Peak 2001 offense. If somebody is too young to know why that was medieval age of NBA- watch Magic and imagine every team plays offense like this.

Take this with a grain of salt because I haven't watch him but I saw that he was a sub 30% 3pt shooter and thought "yep, exactly who the magic would draft"

Sure if we are bad enough to lose to the Hawks and Heat/Bulls back to back. I don't think we will. Even then he is still probably already gone.

He isn't helping day one though, still need to trade for a guard. I don't think it takes every pick we have though based off the market.

I'm going to start my 'Franz is not a max player' bit again if this ish continues. He looked AMAZING for a month but as far as I'm concerned, that was a flash in the pan right now.

The three point barrage we are going to get from the Cavs is going to be brutal
