Next year it’s a tanking year. I think softzingis is not getting enough heat. This guy’s so soft and illness he has. Does he have a respiratory illness?

Correct.

What does Tatum coming off major injury do for you? Especially when you've unload brown, KP, Hauser and Horford from the roster.

He is in his prime, give him a superstar player to play with like Giannis and we are contenders again.

Tatum is not a superstar. We all know that now.

That's standard to say right after, they know they just want the confirmation to "officially" announce it.

Brown is gone within the year. This ain't about brown.

They’re not gonna trade tatum. The guy’s injured. 29 is not old. We don’t the injury but let’s keep in mind Durant came back strong and he’s much older.

It's not about his health. It's about the timeline.

Love to know what this team looks like with Tatum in two years and 4 of your current core pieces are gone.

We don’t know our cap situation. I do think next year should be a throw away year. Don’t bring Tatum back quickly.

This game show he is but no support.

Who is 29??? Even if he’s out a season he won’t be 29.

I feel like softzingis really set the tone for this series. This franchise has been silent on this so called illness.

We could still beat them in game 5 and then make it a two game series.

The Tatum thing is bizarre though. What a disgrace. Devastating to see.

I will die on this hill, but we have had the best roster in the world for three years and we pissed 2 of them away because we gave the keys to the worst coach in the NBA.

I guarantee they were sick of his crap getting paid to pretty much sit half the year

I would sit him out a year if it’s the Achilles. He will be going on 29 coming back from the Achilles.

1 1/2 years?? A 35-year-old Kobe Bryant tore his achilles April 12th and returned in 8 months, on December 6th.

Should have taken even more time off. He didn’t look good to me.

That's an understatement, he was a complete shell of himself. Look at the stats, he was a top-5 MVP candidate the prior decade right up to the injury and never was the same again. Look what they did with Hayward on a less severe injury, hell that guy was never the same either

Makes me wonder what type of illness makes you look so inept. If this guy had showned any game this series would be in. our favor.

I would sit him out a year if it’s the Achilles. He will be going on 29 coming back from the Achilles.

Which would still give him 5-7 years of high, high end play.

This is not solely on him at all. Come on.

Hope Brad is good/lucky with the lottery next year.

Lmao what is this rubbish

Brown gone.
Al retires
Jrue gone.
Tatum most likely out for a good portion of next year.

They have no one on the current roster that can fill those amount of holes.

Yeah, I'd say being a legit title contender is a ways off.

Tatum could easily do another 10+ if he has injury luck.

Joe is clue. I was calling for KP to get 0 minutes today. So Joe plays him a series high 24 minutes for him. He had no business playing in a must win game.

I wasn't the only 1 that knew Al wasn't going to have it tonight. At this point of his career, he is only good on 2 straight days off days between games.
Joe and Brad failed this team. Mainly Joe. Tillman and Queta could have helped with they were given regular minutes every game.
