    Yeah no. He’s done. Can’t shoot or stay in front of anyone anymore. That would only put the starters in a bigger hole then they’ve gotten in some of these games.

    You're right, we need to audition Randle at some point this season.

    What's the most Randle can get paid btw?

    This is a smart take on why to start Randle. The FO needs to know how much he is really worth going forward.

    But, I prefer Kuz as the starter. His shooting will open things up for the starters. Plus Zo NEEDS someone from the jump who he can vibe with.

    Unfortunate injury but it allows us to try a new lineup. Hopefully it doesn't take away from our current progress as a team.

    I can see the idea to start Deng to keep the bench intact but he should just continue staying at home.
    I could see starting Randle to finally see the projected starting lineup together for once but I really like him as the small ball center off the bench.
    Ideally its Kuz starting because the starters desperately need the shooting and scoring.

    Besides today game, the next 4 games are tough ones.

    Watching Larry and his defensive rotations in that 2nd half before the injury.. very impressive.

    No doubt we're going to miss that even if we get a little more offense in the first unit with Kuzma or Randle.

    I also liked what Luke said after the game with Larry being out. He doesn't want one player thinking they have to make up for what Larry gave us, we have to do it collectively and if we do we'll be fine. Basically everyone just has to work a little harder, but don't try and do too much out there.

    Exactly what I expected, the 4-6 weeks part looking at other players who have had this same fracture. Get well soon Larry

    Sucks because it seems like they were all just starting to settle into their roles.

    Well, hopefully we can do well without Nance. The way he plays... you know he's going to get injured.

    reminds me of our good start last year and then a few injuries made us go the wrong way record wise.

    Really like Nance, it just frustrating knowing that stuff like this bound to happen with him.

    Freak injury... Nance was just putting it together too. Chance for Kuzma and Randle to shine...hold the fort down until he's back.

    With the way Kuz played last night and Randle's continuing energy play off the bench, Nance might have a tough time getting back into the rotation.

    That's assuming Bogut is healthy enough all year or that Zubac plays competently enough to be the backup. I think Larry will get back in, but he'll be a bench player like he should have been all along.
