Wonder if Diawara will get minutes.


I think they may get blown out so I expect he’s getting minutes in the fourth

Hart makes sense.

The Mitch stuff doesn't...they invested a lot into preseason on the double big lineup...why if you knew he wasn't trust worthy health wise?

Mitch is a huge asset to this team when healthy...he's just never healthy. So you can't build a team around him expecting him to start.

So is Deuce starting opening night?

Matt Barnes was on some podcast basically saying Brown is a great number 2 coach and is quick to lose the locker room. He was on that lakers team that brown got fired after a few games. Maybe things are better post golden state but didn’t that happen with the kings too?

Is Mitch not healthy and they just don't want to say? If so, what reasons would they have for not saying he is injured other than trying not to tank his trade value once again?

So, without KAT that would be two seasons in a row we'd have no starting center opening night. Yall should feel deep shame for bad mouthing Big Bodega. Thank god for that trade again, since he can play the 4 & 5.

If you told me that Mitch wasn’t gonna play Friday I’d understand but not playing opening night is very weird.
