Looks like all the players have decided that Ingram is the guy. I thought it might end up more egalitarian but it's looking like Ingram might get 25 a game on this team.

No coach will win the last 3 years.

RJ has been the most reliable/ consistent starter this pre-season. Big season for him I think.

He very explicitly was not brought here to win. He was brought in to reset the culture and develop players.

Nah, I'll take Rj and 9th thanks.

Tbf, I have been skimming through these games so maybe it's not the most accurate assessment.

I don't think he's looked particularly good this pre season. I watch him and I don't see what he's particularly good at.

He’s fantastic at shooting the 3, protecting the ball, and penetrating the middle for a little floater. Decent playmaker and defender to. Hes shooting like 25% from 3 on high volume so far, so no **** he looks bad lol
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

This wasn't true for Demar and isn't true for RJ. Just because you're not winning a title with these guys as your #1, that doesn't make them non-winning players.

3/14 from the floor, 1/8 from 3. Most of his scoring has come from the free throw line tonight. He's going to shoot better than this most nights, but I'm just not a huge fan of his game.

Nobody should be worried about whether they're going in, he's an incredible shooter. If he stops taking them, that's when you worry.

I hope we didn’t offer it. Not in a position to be trading cost controlled rookie guys and a guy like RJ we can reasonable keep so that we can bring in a 30 year old

I don’t care what Jack says the whistle has been way unfair this game. Simons just lost the ball and got a call.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….
