How long can they actually give Mosley for real? Feels like 20 games is acceptable...

These dudes literally don’t know how to run an offense. How embarrassing.

Maybe he's truly cooked but damn lol
Isaac barely played

No roster with Anthony Black, Goga Butt-tadze, Wendell Carter, Tyus Jones, Jett Howard and Noah Penda isn’t garbage



That's nonsense. Stop trying to defend your illogical post.

depends dude. It can't just be 20 games or until December. If he's 1-9 through 10 games or 3-12 through 15, you have to let him go.

I think you're right, sadly. The heart just isn't there anymore. The guy was a warrior and never conceded a play. Now he's not even jumping. I wish it wasn't the case but he's just done.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

O/U Weltman makes a panic trade like Ibaka/Oladipo levels to fix this if it's still bad/below average come the 20 game mark?

Depends how quickly the losses add up and how bad the team continues to look. A road trip like these last few games will send him packing, IMO. WePark and the FO can’t afford to suck after betting the future on the team.

We cant even run simple fast break properly, plays that you have an inherent advantage, cant even do that right. Thats all coaching mostly, but also we do have some low IQ players.
