I knew it was bad. That kid is done.

 

Moose!!!

 

Yeah. I’ve said this a few times but there are options. We don’t have to stand pat.

We can make some moves that help now and don’t empty the cupboard for future moves.

We can also acquire assets that we can move down the road.

 

Well damn it was only 9 times and he was their 12th round pick with an even better frame on him than Christie. What did she expect?

I Keed I Keed …. I shouldn’t Keed.

 

Stupid kid. I feel a little bad for him. Just too dumb to realize there are real consequences for his knucklehead actions.

 

I still think Beverley and/or Nunn can bounce back and be better then what we’ve seen so far, but we should absolutely be exploring trade options around them.

Also, just saying, I still think THT for Beverley was the right move. THT has looked pretty invisible, at least in the box scores, in Utah. But Bev at least gives us some much needed defense, and more importantly I think Beverley on an expiring contract will be easier to flip than THT with his player option.

 

With the way Brown, Reaves, Walker plus Gabriel are playing: Turner and Curry make the most sense for the team. Fit a positional need and get shooting

 

But you don't understand. I HAVE to show you.



Talk about a couple of easy mil for the former staff member. Wowsers.

 

wouldn't mind getting Reddish but i assume nyk will extend him

 

i've said since the beginning that i thought trade flexibility was as big a part of that trade as bevs' on-court value.

and yes, we have a lot of options. if we can just get near .500 at the quarter pole, all of a sudden, i think we're the ones receiving calls instead of making them.

 

i would much rather have whiteside over jones

he's a lazy player and low ball IQ, but there's no doubt he's a stud defensively. jones is as meh as it gets

 

I was thinking it was probably Becky Hammon. Who I just looked up to see if she was still coaching there and is not. She left in February to be head coach of the Las Vegas Aces of the WNBA and won a championship her first season.

 

Generally agreed, although I want to see what Schroeder looks like before we making any Beverley + Nunn move.

 

9 times since December of last year? So there wasn't any issue in the 8 previous instances?

 

sounds like there were (at least) 9 issues.
