Yeah, I can't dismiss the thought of bringing back guys like Dennis and Lonnie. They have flaws but at least we could get some kind of contributions from them. Talent doesn't mean much if you get tight as soon as you hit the floor. I'm not in a rush to get rid of Max, but would definitely be willing to trade him. Gabe is a complete disappointment and hopefully the last time we get taken by a Miami Heat player.
lol, exactly what i said in the gabe thread the other day. glad the coach recognized it. we got the three point attempts up, too. didn't make them, but he wanted attempts. but we're now getting murdered on the boards nightly and can't defend anyone. like to see reddish keep getting more minutes if he's going to defend, and i know people hate him, but if the message is about details, play gabe more and dlo less.
lots of teams have similar depth to ours, imo. i can only think of a few teams that have 10 good players. boston won a ring with 6 and some dudes who wouldn't crack a rotation anywhere else. iow, everything has to break right for pretty much everyone. that's just how it is. philly is 1-6 after supposedly winning the offseason. things aren't breaking right. one of our stars had a bad game in a close road loss against a good team, the other star missed a road loss against a good team, and we no-showed for a game. nobody knew dlo was going to show up and play the worst basketball of his career. everyone's acting like this isn't surprising. it's f***ing surprising, man. he's posting career lows in every stat imaginable...in a contract year. we weren't built to sustain him being a worse-than-replacement level player. he was playing better last year when ham benched him, tbh. the road trip was particularly bad. last year in detroit, he had 35 and 9 on 13-17 from the floor. i don't know what's happening there, but jj has to figure it out quick.
