    I’m a little surprised at how down on Knecht people seem to be. Yes he plays little to no defense and his shooting skill seems to have gone into the Clipper toilets but it’s a few games in fake summer league. I still think he has some worth around the league and not keen to just get rid of him.

    No one was out. Saw AR and DLO both. Son of a B .... what a tremendous night for him and who could have imagined he would not get better on D just from minutes and adjusting to the NBA pace with his athleticism. Certainly wasn't me. He'll definitely blow up somewhere else, with numbers at least, if we move him. Redick so far has not walked his talk about helping and developing young talent, especially a shooter with that stroke like he was ..... with DK. So far anyway.

    Hoping he starts playing better tonight and then gets his mojo back in Vegas when they have to be playing actual PGs. Come on Lindsey

    .... a feather in your coaching cap too if you can get him back on track at least on offense.

    I was at that game at Crypto .It was this NBA cup game that nobody actually cared, exempt for pimple so Dalton could play without any pressure and actually Rui was out.

    Knecht must have read the last couple of pages of this thread. That's what I'm talking about.

    Bazley looks like Vando except he scores at the rim consistently even under pressure. I'd sign him after we make the needed trade.

    he took some time off this Summer and was rusty. Might not have been the best move of his career, but the kid can catch fire like few ever have. Fun to watch when they start dropping through the net barely touching anything. He makes the awesome look mundane.

    I admit I don't understand Pelinka's inaction regarding this player.

    You want him jettisoned while his value perceptively around the league is at the lowest it’s been, in some hypothetical trade with absolutely zero details or something else? Redick is the one it falls upon to make him “playable” if that’s what you’re meaning?

    Finally played like he should've been in this summer league.

    Trade him today before he has another stinker.
