Monk had close contact with team on team plane

And now Russ too… The team just called up IT, why not call up Ennis too?

IT will surely add some punch to our defense. I'm starting to think Pelinka doesn't consult with Vogel at all on roster moves. I know this is only a 10 day contract... I still scratching my head on this one.

So.. our rotation tomorrow night:

Bazemore
Ellington
Reaves
LeBron
Davis

with

Carmelo
Rondo
Jordan
Chaundee Brown
Jay Huff

Off the bench. If IT makes it to Minneapolis in time - maybe he actually plays.

Players Out:

Ariza, Nunn (Injury), THT, Dwight, Monk, Westbrook, Bradley (COVID)

That is crazy.

We should have another hardship exception available. Sign James Ennis.

Really looking forward to see how this team plays without RW

He’s 28 years old for crying out loud. A professional athlete is tired after playing 25 games; played 36 games in last season. How many **** excuses are we going to make for this guy.

Ship his a$$ out

Davis, baze, DeAndre.... Siakim, boucher, Scottie Barnes

Best return for us

Yes, he gets injured. That’s why he should not play center.

When people complain about AD, the same question always comes up. How will you replace the defense he brings?

The guy plays defense for three players.

He’s perhaps the best big man defender in the league. He’s an all time great big man defender.

How many more **** years will it take for the world of internet experts to start watching the defensive end before cutting world class talent from my team?

Without him we’re going to lose, lose, lose. It’s all about the W-L column. Defense.

It’ll be a good day when Adam Silver presses pause on this season to avoid creating super spreader arena events every night. We could use the time to heal our team anyway.

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. IVE BEEN SAYING THIS FROM THE BEGINNING. Do not play AD at the 5. Against many round here who wanted to push it anyway. He doesn't want it. He said so at his opening press conference. And he is so brittle, we just gotta play it that way, and take extra extra care with this player. As we currently stand, we haven't even made it to Christmas, and hes already out.

Agreed. If you play AD 47.5MPG at the five, expect him in street clothes before Xmas. He should be our stretch four playmaking PF.

No he isn't. I can think of three of the top of my head that are clearly better: Giannis, Gobert, and Draymond are clearly better. A case can be made for Embiid as well. With respect to being an all time great big man - there are probably at least 15 big men ahead of him.

Slava · Post #1637 » by **Slava** » Sat Dec 25, 2021 2:43 pm

This team could do well with a consultant that would keep these dudes in check. Right now it’s Lebron and AD giving these wish lists to Pelinka and Pelinka enabling them by doing whatever it takes without any counter suggestions. A wise old head like Jerry West or Riley just telling these dudes every now and then that they’re bonkers would be a good check or counter balance.

How the heck are the Warriors playing so well?

LAKESHOW · Post #1639 » by **LAKESHOW** » Sun Dec 26, 2021 4:05 am

It was Magic. Magic is the only guy who could tell Lebron and AD the N Word. NO.

I really hope Lakers/Bron

Are working a trade for THT deal

I'm not going to watch 4 years of him or what ever it is left - Just another Kuzma situation
