    there was an easy solution there, jax--perform. if we don't pay you, there's a chance you're in greece next year.

    interesting that somebody is leaking koloko at vet min whilst dragging up hayes's offcourt issues. guess he's gone.

    Tracks. We've heard all along that Koloko has fans in the front office and I'm guessing primarily scouts (Buss bros?). But he ran over JJ's dog. Jax was always a member of a committee. We were still praying for the ghost of C-Wood to return to compete with him for minutes. I don't think the FO ever truly believed in him and that was before JJ told him to go sit as far away from him as possible...probably.

    the weird part was that luka and hayes seemed to connect early. not sure what happened there. i'd have to watch how it gradually got taken away, though i'm guessing that, as always, it was partly our unreliable perimeter shooting that did in the offense part.

    i just don't know that hayes is a high hoop iq player. haven't seen enough from koloko, but they must feel like he has a better shot of learning the game than hayes does. the latter has definitely had more chances.

    I’d be shocked if Jax is back. I don’t know how you come back to restore the player/coach relationship after being unceremoniously dumped like he was in the playoffs.

    I'm good with Koloko being our bench 5. He is in great shape, and provides a lob threat. But, who is going to start?

    my hope is koloko is signed to be a third string/developmental big, and that we trade for one and sign a vet backup or sign two vets at lower cost to split primary duties.

    i'm not comfortable going into the season with koloko as the primary backup c.

    We're not doing the next generation any favors here
