We should have started this game with Ulis running the point.
At a minimum we should have should have started Ulis in the second half.
Instead, we started playing the team's only point guard when the game was already lost.
You can't start a 2nd round rookie over the guy you're trying to trade and currently pay 14 million a year lol.
I remember Watson saying something at the start of the season along the lines of 'whoever plays better gets minutes, regardless of who you are or what contract you're signed to'.
If the objective was to increase Knight's trade value, we failed horribly. Knight plays a lot better off the ball, so if we want to showcase him we're better off showcasing his strengths than his weaknesses.
Knight played 20 minutes, Ulis played 28 minutes, who cares who starts.
Because by the time Ulis entered the Suns we already down 24 points (in the first 6 minutes of the game I might add).
The when he re-entered the game we were down 40.
Ulis was placed in an unwinnable situation.
