    I'm actually talking about the Trae Young rumors. But yes, I'm still going on about Ham's mishandling of this season. I would have liked to have seen a MUCH larger sample size of the current starting lineup of Dlo, Reaves, Rui, Lebron and AD. So far they're undefeated at 6-0. But that's a ridiculously small sample size. What would they have looked like over 50 plus games together?

    When we are talking about trading two guys of that bunch for one you want to be sure it's going to be a good move. Trae is a star but is he worth both of them? I'm not even completely sure he's much better than Dlo.

    FOH..they are getting paid millions of dollars to play basketball. I shed zero tears for anyone's pity party. Some of the guys played like s*** to start the season. That's just what it was..Like Austin, then D'Angelo, Rui was inconsistent at times too. Vanderbilt gets a pass because he was injured. I don't absolve Ham, because the HC will be judged on his record regardless of the excuse.

    Lastly, I don't absolve Lebron's mediocre leadership, being shown this season either.

    Everybody is f***ing responsible, and everybody has the opportunity to make it right. Starting today.

    D'Angelo still remains the only person on this team that f***ing choked when it mattered the most IMO. You can sidestep that s*** all you like.

    Then you have a very high opinion of D'Angelo that I don't share with you. I can respect that tho. He has the opportunity to change my mind.

    On the 5..IDK..maybe they win more..maybe not. There were injuries involved that make it questionable as to how many games they could have played. I think the minutes played, actually mean more than who starts, in a game, but that's me.

    You … to say FOH to anyone else’s opinions when your many devil’s advocate / against the grain / virtually everyone here often and NBA reporters takes have been “wrong” multiple times. It’s well known what they have been.

    Yeah..and multiple NBA reporters,analyst and insiders are wrong about all kinds of s*** every season too. They just get paid for their opinions. Ours are free around here. Right or wrong.

    I want my team to win, so do you, WE don't have to agree on anything though.

    Except wanting to win.

    "The rules really favor offense, in general, right now," Rudy Gobert, Minnesota Timberwolves center and front-runner for his fourth Defensive Player of the Year award, told ESPN.

    Well .... it follows that because of the crap win/loss record and our crap standings position .... that one more LEGIT thing to blame on Numbnuts Ham is AD AGAIN getting stiffed while being the best in the business and real DPOTY.

    AD has never won Defense Player of the year. That's wild, the closest he's ever come was 2nd place in 2019.

    I pray the Suns are dumb enough to pony up $20m for Senator Allen.
