    The end result is still up in the air. The three guys that got traded for him haven't moved the needle much in Washington. They are 3-7 over their last 10 games with Dinwiddie and Bradley Beal. We went 15-15 without AD last season. This is the reason we got Russ...in case Lebron or AD went down. Let's see how it goes.

    Yeah..starting to look ugly. It might be a pause in play forthcoming. There is a lot of money at stake though, it won't be a rush decision.

    Pausing the season for a couple weeks needs to happen at this point. But I'm sure the league will make damn sure it gets its xmas day games

    Nets next two are postponed. Not sure they'll A) have anyone playing. B) anyone will tune in to watch a Nets team headlined by Blake Griffin.

    Why are the Lakers games NOT cancelled at this point?? We ONLY have 6 players from our regular roster available and our coach is out too. We are not going to win a single game this way. Absolute BS! Cancel the games for a couple weeks, across the whole league!!!!

    Another reunion! Although I have no memory of Jemerrio Jones at all..

    Both guys are 6’5” or under. With one of them taking a two-way contract, that suggests we may have gotten rid of Huff, the only big who can play outside of DJ right now. Maybe it’s Chaundee Brown who gets cut though, haven’t been impressed by anything I’ve seen from him.

    But regardless, what are we doing? We need bigs. If there were concerns about AD getting banged up at the 5, relying on Lebron to play heavy minutes of small ball 5 while already carrying a heavy load with all our injuries is not ideal.

    One new guy coming in...


    I expect more to follow. I'd think it's at the expense of Huff. I think Brown has shown enough to stick

    Is there not one guy taller than 6’6 with a pulse capable of defending wings out there?

    I guess we are thinking about mimicking, the Houston small ball team from the bubble. Spacing being the current rage and all that.

    Spread the floor with Bron and Ariza as the bigs, with three guards maybe?

    I don’t know what the angle is so I’m just going to say a nightly prayer to the basketball gods for mercy.
