Embarrassing that we have this many open roster spots, even though we clearly need a 3 point shooter.

Obviously Sam doesn’t believe this team is a one or two moves away from challenging for the WCf’s so we shouldn’t either.

We need to start considering giving him DNP's for 'Load Management' in B2B's or against lesser teams

He's always hobbled by the end of the year.

A lot of times when a teams gets far behind then they spend all of their energy catching up and can’t actually pull out the win. This would be a nice time for russ to have a really efficient quarter.

Who did they have to trade? This team is great! Ferguson was off the table I'm sure, same for grant. Both have a good chance to be high level starters. Paul George is an mvp candidate in his prime dominating nightly. Schroeder can go off from the bench at any point. Adams is.....slightly above average at center. Russ leads the league in assists by alot, and leads in steals. Gets a triple double every night. That's not a bad situation, especially if KD leaves GSW. They'd be title contenders next year.

George is on the bench and we get the Russel Westbrook brickfest. Stop shooting your moron.

I think we could have beaten the offer for garret temple.

Refs have made bad calls and missed some on both sides.
