Start Grimes, let RJ come off the bench with the second unit, at least until either Randle, RJ or both break out of their shooting slump. We can't have two non-shooting scorers be in the starting lineup together. That seems to make the most sense. You can still do the switching defense scheme with Burks/Grimes/Fornier, and you don't break up the second unit with Rose/IQ/Obi that's working.

If we’re lucky Grimes might be the next Daymean Dotson or Iman Shumpert. He’ll never hold a candle to Lavar Postell, of course.

DeJounte Murray:

Why can’t we ever have nice things.


We would have given up and traded him 3 years ago if we drafted him

At 23 years old, he was averaging 11 a game on .520 TS in his 4th year in the league. He's a career 90 TS+ guy, high of 93 (average being 100)

Yeah, most of the fanbase would've been calling for his head.

That's just media fallout. We gotta start somewhere and Kemba was the logical place to start. What would you have done?

If they lose to the Spurs, someone needs to get fired. And re-think the entre fscking roster, including the bench.

Big 2 man lineups -

Randle and Sims : +51 17 minutes
Randle and Obi : +18 70 minutes

All other big lineups that include Randie are negative.
