Haha, I was about to ask "only 90?", but then realized that means only one player would be left on the roster next season :lol: If you could only pick one player, which one would you keep? I'd go either Stanley or Ellenson. Probably Ellenson, but he's more of a gamble.

Idk but I bet Henry gets traded in a few seasons after another few years of wasting away in the d league and then goes on to become an allstar on some other team. Leuer needs to get traded in the offseason so king henry can finally play.

Put in Boban. Baynes and AD can't contain Gobert. This is a frustrating 1st half.

We should call up Danny Ainge before the draft lottery and offer our whole team (minus Stanley and Ellenson) for that Brooklyn pick.

Ever wish you were a Jazz fan? The Jazz are the model. Only thing seperating us from them is shooting and defense.

Oh wait...

That's pretty much all basketball is.

Yep they have high basketball iq players who can shoot and play defesne, we have low basketball iq players who cant shoot or play defense. Love watching all the other young teams improve and get better while we get worse.

Remember when SVG was going to S&T Monroe for Teague and Korver? I wonder how many 3 point shooters our team would have right now if that trade happened...

This team can't score. There's only two, legit guys that can consistently put the ball in the hole at a consistent level and those two are Tobias and Reggie. Why in the living hell do we keep pulling Harris out of the lineup? My goodness....I just can't grasp it man.

Are you satisfied with the job Van Gundy is doing?

Zach Lowe was on Bill Simmons' podcast yesterday. Lowe was talking about watching the Spurs play in Detroit this year, and how it was like a pro team coming to play a JV team. He was joking about how the Spurs spanked them so bad it didn't even look like they should have been in the same league.

Lowe then went on to say "All Detroit wants to do is make the playoffs so badly, that's it." The rest of the league knows how pathetic and desperate SVG's march to mediocrity is.

The only way this question will have a surprising outcome is if you have a multitude of insulting opinions of SVG that correspond to varying degrees of frustration.

Right now no, he has had enough time to build a team of shooters around Andre yet somehow we have only gotten worse at shooting. And his coaching hasn't been that great either between the rotations and the players just not playing hard for him it just hasn't been as good as I thought it would be. Our offense consistently has no ball movement and our defense consistently gives up wide open jumpers, some of this is on the players but a lot of it has to be on the coach and the guy who is putting the roster together. I still have some hope that maybe he can turn it around, maybe SVG will get smart and trade away Reggie and maybe even Andre and start to finally build a good team but right now I'm just depressed watching this team.

That would be the best press conference ever.

SVG - "Given our lack of performance this year, I've decided to let myself go."
Press - "Stan, do you have any comments on that?"
SVG - "Frankly, I'm disappointed with my decision, but I think it's for the best."

I would gladly give Reggie Jackson to any team for free to get to see that press conference.
