Blaha and Kelser look like they both need a Xanax

Tom Gores would probably sell a lot more tickets if he offered free xanax with every ticket purchase.

I wish we'd make multiple trades and have SJ starting and Henry getting 20 mins off bench. We are ruining both of them with players that will never take us anywhere. SVG needs to swallow his pride and tear it down. He's got a lot of players in this roster that would be attractive to the right teams. He did a good job getting assets but we have a bloated payroll and can't develop our young guys. Time to do something drastic. We've now lost 8 of 10 with a ton of blowouts during that stretch. We need a change.

It's really a shame that the guys Stanley and Henry compete for minutes with (KCP, Leuer, Tobias in particular) are playing pretty well. I'd definitely be all for dangling RJ, Morris, Dre, etc to shake things up.

Love that we have Leuer for 4 years. That's a positive.

I still want to keep Drummond. I want to keep Leuer too. I like that combo for our front court. Drummond is 23, we don't need a full rebuild if we keep him. He's been disappointing, but there is still hope for him in my opinion. Jackson may need to go. We need some vets on this team too.

Well, I'm not a "Dre MUST go" guy, but he would definitely get the most return, so I think you've got to listen to offers. Taking a chance on Cousins or a top-5 type of draft pick is looking more and more intriguing at this point. RJ and Morris would be easier to deal with losing since they have decent backups, but still...

Losing Dre will set us back quite a bit. We just see him playing lazy with bad body language, so it's pissing all of us off. His defense needs to improve. But if we lost him, every game would be a constant grind. His age aligns with any way we want to do this. Only way I'd trade Drummond is if it were for a top 3 pick or a comparable talent. Cousins would be great in theory, but very risky.
