They were 3-19 with him before he sat last night. That's the worst winning % in the league, by far.

Overall, it's nice to see he's proving Thibs wrong though. He should have never been tossed away for Alec Burks.

Another reason the orc needs to go. He's worst in the League when it comes to having the patience to develop young players.

I agree that Thibs is not very good at player development, but to be fair, Grimes was doing nada in the league before Philly started to tank. Playing for this current Sixers team is almost akin to being sent down to the G League and I'm sure that even a scrub like Bronny would enhance his regular season numbers if given the same opportunity as Grimes.

You're absolutely right on all points.

Nevertheless, for a bench that's starving for a spark and scoring, though, it sure would have been nice to have him and Obi.

They were given away for nothing because Thibs.

It wasn't just for Burks. We wanted Bojan who was killing it with the Pistons, but got hurt at the end

The real value we gave up for Mikal was basically Grimes, picks, and expirings of players who could no longer play (Fournier/Bojan)

Ton of pressure on Mikal to play at all-star/superstar level. He can't just be a "good" player

Damn Damian Lillard is done. Blood clot in leg issue. That's really bad. He might have to go on blood thinners. That means no NBA.

He had a great career. It sucks that he can't go out on his own terms.

Milwaukee is gonna have to blow it up.

Crazy how Lillard's predecessor Brandon Roy also had to retire prematurely.

i understand nba guys getting mad at stephen a or skip bayless. types like these. but windy is just about as respectful as you can be while still doing your job. he doesn't really go after people or have harsh takes. it's kind of out of pocket to go after him of all people.
