    I do like Dlo and I'm rooting for him. But wow, he really needs to step up the playoff production or that price tag needs to go down significantly, right LT? I'm hoping he improves.

    So LT..give me your take on the draft pick. Considering how awesome our scouting department has been with finding gems. Would you keep this 1st round pick and add more young talent? Or package it in a trade with maybe D'Angelo and Malik for another player? I'm still on the fence, I have kinda given up on Malik, but D'Angelo still holds some promise to me. What Ya got?

    Man at this point I have no opinion. Still hoping for everyone to play well and earn good contracts, AND I sure would like to see what our scouts and FO evaluators can come up with in the draft to address needs with a young stud player. PLUS all of the salary and cap ins and outs.

    Yeah it's a good dilemma to be in IMO. Once Svtr and Abeer, schooled me on the fact that we couldn't actually use Westbrook's cap space, to sign any players, grabbing contracts attached to young, movable players, was obviously the right play. In a perfect world, we run everyone back, and keep that draft pick.

    Dudes a walking bucket out there. One of the few players I'm confident in dumping to when we badly need a score.

    He didn’t score, but boy did he have some huge rebounds in the 4th quarter and OT. The close out on the Ja 3 pointer was clutch too.

    Yeah, it was the first night he's been off in this series but his size, physicality and rebounding (6) really helped. Key in getting paid is showing you're not a one trick pony and can make contributions in other aspects of the game.

    found myself wanting to see him in the game, feeling like he'd do something useful. like reaves.

    Grizz couldn't stop Rui in the 1st three games so Ham decided to help them to : 8 minutes in the 1st half , are you f***ing kidding me ?

    Let's keep in mind he wouldn't have closed if DLO didn't foul out

    PATHETIC

    I agree with this, he was not used very well in this game, and this is after killing it in the first 3 games. Ham really makes some weird decisions sometimes.
