Scottie has no role on offense. Dick can’t hit 3s. RJ needs to go. IQ is … on the court I guess? Matt is going to be really annoying this year. Take your pick.

You guys have no idea what the real team issues are you just love hopping on media talking points… Rj has never been the problem. You have people talking about how dick was gonna take his spot. Dick continue to look like ass. Like I said this is the Norman Powell situation all over again.

People get mad calling Barnes draymond green but the only way he’s gonna make an impact on this team is if he’s as good as green defensively… the guy looks worse somehow

You don’t have to be a better player to be a better fit.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

This is essentially his best skill. He knows where the ball needs to go. And I think that’s a more valuable skill than people realize.

It's very valuable, but he's gotta score man. Ain't nobody getting paid 40 mill per for hockey assists. One thing that is immediately clear is that CMB has a way better first step than Scottie.

Are the Refs going to change their call to the jersey grab being the foul.

also the team investing way too much into dick, it was always so obvious the guys potential was so limited. A 3 point shooter who sucks at defense, average athleticism and shoots an average percentage is so useless in today’s nba… idk what ppl are watching man. Also his mechanics have always been so sketchy. Should’ve unloaded him last year or at the draft could’ve found a much more impactful player
