It's very valuable, but he's gotta score man. Ain't nobody getting paid 40 mill per for hockey assists. One thing that is immediately clear is that CMB has a way better first step than Scottie.

Just let him focus all his energy on defence and hustle points

Yeah, if he continues to be who he was last year and the team is bad to mediocre this season a lot of his supporters are going to start to turn on him. Year 5, big contract, big expectations.

man the media talking points on us overpaying guys isn't wrong. scottie on a max and the jak extension are both pretty tough. i we can be glad it doesn't push to the 30% max. Quick on the flat deal and BI i can mostly stomach.

Im going to give it more than 1/2 a preseason game before I want to trade/fire everyone. :D


Barnes has been here for 4 years and this is gradey a 3rs season… just repeating the same excuses year after year

As I had asked in the other thread.........

WHO IS OUTPLAYING RJ TO MOVE HIM TO THE BENCH?????

None of them. None.

You don’t have to be a better player to be a better fit.


Dick stinks

I can nit pick guys through this roster from top to bottom, but one thing that I'm going to stand by is that I don't believe IQ is the PG of the future. Just don't like his game.

I absolutely agree that he has to score. I just think two things are happening in this game regarding Barnes.

-Barnes is not really included in the offence at all, by design
-Barnes’ attempts have mostly come when his teammates have handed him a grenade and he hasn’t done well trying to create off broken plays
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive
