They gotta make room for McBride and Grimes by getting Burks out of here (since I assume that Founier is completely unmovable).

Evan and AD are two guys in their late 20s who look like they are 1 year away from a nursing home

He had like an "ok" few minutes early in the first quarter where he made a few shots but was terrible on defense.

As the game went on, Friar Suck settled in and managed to combine putrid offense with his usual lackluster defense.

Randle already said he gets confused passing. 13 shot attempts in the half while getting abused by whoever playing PF.

this is one of the worst teams in the league missing half it's good players but mcbride is the best perimeter defender and you need that so badly.


Yeah and rookies actually tend to overperform early a little. But he seems tough and smart. His D is pretty unusual. Quickley has some ability. Not sure I think he's going to shoot it that well though. Hopefully he gets there. His FT shooting suggests he can.

I counted one misstep that whole half.. when he stepped up on Gordon while Gordon was already making his move to the bucket which resulted in a non-shooting foul.. other than that pretty mistake free half. Zero Turnovers but I'd like to see him create some passing lanes and take a couple more chances.. but playing for Huggins.. those kids really can't get away with that stuff.. he'll chew them out.

We will lose this if Randle plays more than 12 minutes in the 2nd half.

too bad rj has regressed so much this year - he probably isn't good enough now to help move fournier

I wish Wandle and Fournier weren't on the team. They both suck major penis.

Obviously it's "just basketball" ... but to me it's really an emergency situation to get rid of Randle.

You won't be able to trade Fournier but whatever. Worry about that later.

U-Turn time!

This team could be fun and interesting with Deuce-Grimes-Knox-Obi-Mitch.

Screw it, start Knox. In reality, I don't see the U-Turn happening. But it would take both maturity and smarts to do it ASAP.
