How much would you pay for a guy that can average 12 points 9 rebounds and 4 assists? That's around a prime nick Collison level player, so how much is that guy worth?

I'm calling Oladipo Vivian from here on out. All credit goes to DT/discord.

Six.
We've scored six points in the 4th quarter, and we've scored 26 in the entire second half.

They won't fire him since you made the playoffs. It would take a bad playoff showing and at least an underachieving start next year to get the media narrative on your side.
Presti is our Hennigan and Donovan our Hoiberg. Nobody's paying attention tho.

We won't fire him regardless. Presti gave him a 5 year 30 mill contract because they're friends. He's been crap since day one and nobody in the media even has the balls to criticize him.

Just ask him questions and when he finishes rambling ten minutes later, say "but you didn't answer the question, why isn't this team showing improvement?" Hold his feet to the fire in the post game.

He's talking like a politician. Always rambling, never answering.

Yeah, was going to say, we need to get Jake Tapper to come over from interviewing politicians to interview Dono. These Sports reporters aren't equipped to sort through the volume of bull **** he puts out there.

At some point you really do have to question Presti. He's been great finding players in the draft, but man, has he ever been hit and miss when it comes to team building in terms of acquiring players that fit around his star player(s).

One of many instances where it felt like our supporting cast didn't even belong on the same floor.

I'm not going to blame Kanter for getting danced by harden. He never should've been put in that position to begin with.
It's hilarious that robes is the only guy to react and try to help even though he's in the worst possible position.

Jesus effing Christ. Come on Katz, please tell me you at least asked if he was functionally challenged.

Can't play Kanter? If you thought our 87 point performance was astounding, just wait until he benches Kanter.

Taj had the best plus/minus of the non garbage minutes guys and only got 20 minutes. If enes can't play then Taj should be getting all the backup center minutes.
