I still think we need one more true big, all the losses so far could be attributed to Jakob not being himself, so some insurance is good

We could definitely benefit from a bit more competent size, no question. It's a tall ask, unless we're looking for a 3rd string center who's actually a good deal waiting for an opportunity. We aren't really in the space where adding an old vet makes sense, because that's a win-now kind of move and we aren't REALLY there. We'll still trying to firm up "yes, we can be a .500 team" at this point.

We aren't going to add a big that can actually play when there aren't any minutes available for them. If we are in playoff contention at the deadline, maybe you pick one up then or get someone off the buyout market.

Yes, I'm inclined to agree with that. What we need isn't readily available, and there's no sense adding a veteran pickup in a season where 43-45 wins would be a pretty good outcome.

You will always find one or two exceptions, but when you go back and look, you will see that most takes where about scottie beeing more or less the same like the years before. His two biggest flaws are his shooting and his maturity, and that was adressed in those posts. Now since the start of the season, he has cleaned that up so far.



Sure thing.. :crazy:


Thats your reaction? My fault for taking you serious.


Well the threads and comments are available to look at.. beyond that how many Facebook posts/comments I came across.

If you really want to pretend people weren't people weren't jumping at the chance to discredit Barnes based off preseason game then I'm not taking you seriously. Selective memory at it's finest.
