    You're looking in the wrong direction. I've been banging the table for a big, a wing upgrade since before the off season even began, and pointing out that 1/3 of our roster is not made up of NBA level talent. That frustration existed before seeing AD roll out a mvp campaign.

    Coaching was awful last year. JJ is an improvement. That doesn't fix a broken roster. I'm sick of wasting primes and final contending years of the AD/Bron duo.

    They have French guy Traore.
    Unless Koloko is suddenly going to play tomorrow for 15 + minutes, why not try him

    no one wanted to run it back. we just had basically zero reasonable trade options.

    That's what happens when you go shopping for a head athletic trainer on Linkedin and are only paying $250k-280k.

    Looks like Davis is playing.
    Davis (ankle) participated in Wednesday's morning shootaround, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.

    if it's actually plantar fasciitis, the rest is helpful. i've had it; it's hard to play with, and the best way to fix it is rest.

    Pau really struggled with it here. I think it kept him out 6 weeks or a couple months even.

    Hopefully we can properly manage it... not hopeful with the team wide medical issues and staffing over the years.

    Yeah, it's one of the most annoying injuries. Sometimes it keeps players out for a long time until they take the proper amount of time to heal. Quite unfortunate to have it so early in the decision. We can't afford to give him the needed rest, so hopefully he can manage it

    I imagine today's sneakers should minimize the pain

    what's weird to me is that they say it's been going on since the spring. feel like either before or after the olympics, he should have had enough time to rest and do the necessary PT to get it right. having to do it in-season will be a problem.
