    Better than being referred to as trade bait like some Twitter Laker trolls would after a few bad shooting games

    Kid is playing great to start the season. Giving him more usage in ball was a great call by JJ.

    One of the 3 players to show up against the Suns. He's looking good out there. I like the Book matchup, they don't seem to care for each other very much.


    Nasty!


    Doing it on both ends

    I know he wants to play all 82, but let's at least limit his minutes in this one. We SHOULD be able to beat Det without AR playing more than 20 minutes.

    I'm with @KareemtheGreat33 (?) .... how about changing the title of his thread to something positive to reflect the very good start he's off to this year?

    I mean for me it’s more like “about time”, he couldn’t throw a pea into the ocean vs Detroit and Memphis, not much better vs Toronto. He’s our 3rd best player, 4th at worst, and has been given the role/responsibility as such, he’s not just the plucky little undrafted rookie that could anymore. I’m exaggerating to a degree of course, all I’m saying is more is expected of him, 4-13, 3-10, 2-9, that’s what he shot from 3 before this one, gotta be better than that. He did have a really good game tonight though, was on fire and 5-6 from 3 at one point, finished 6-10. So far he’s 33% on the season, would like to see him back up between 36-39%. The org puts a lot of faith in Austin, he can’t be had in a trade except for a big star, so he needs to justify that belief, takes things to a different level I guess.

    I think he was hurt. The ankle looked like it was bothering him before yesterday

    The title is fine. Austin is playing great, but it is still a legitimate question regarding Austin being a rotation piece or trade piece. Now that Dlo has moved to the bench, hopefully Austin can excel as the point guard, and this will translate to team success. We should not treat Austin as untouchable, because you do have to give up something in order to get something, and you do have to buy low and sell high.

    How bout I change it to a Katy Perry lyric?

    “You’re hot then you’re cold”
    Can’t shoot on the road
    “You’re up then you’re down”
    Coach Ham was a clown. Oh!

    more appropriate?

    LOL …. always in your head it is. :D No the title is out of date. Sure unless a star player is involved or some clear improvement on the unbeatable value of his contract this year and next before needing his next contract.
