    I think it's the hair

    Shave your head bald and turn over a new leaf!

    Fans want to see the new Mr. Clean on the wing doing 3&D

    I’m willing to give him a few more games to see if he can get his legs under him and find some rhythm… but I really don’t see it happening. Sooner rather than later, I think we need to cut him from the rotation entirely and just give Stanley all his minutes.

    He’s been pretty awful. I’m trying to be patient but I think he’s best suited for about 10 minutes a game max.

    I don’t think it’s the fact that he’s not in optimal shape. I think he’s washed. Stanley should take all of his minutes.

    He's a deep bench player right now. No shame in that, Stan should start.

    He's bad.

    I mean: that's Baze, DJ, and now TA. Ellington is a guy we don't play of, too.

    This roster needs some revamping.

    LOL.

    He's so washed the cleaners won't even accept a dropoff

    Him starting is just making is putting this team in a handicap

    Some of us called it when he was signed. Other than coaching young guys and sharing some tips I dont know what he had to offer. He's 36 with a ton of mileage in his legs.

    Then he had a serious ankle injury that kept him for months.

    Unfair expectations placed on him.

    I liked the signing until I realized we were relying on him to be our top wing defender.

    I get we're desperately trying to work him back into shape. But to what end? When do we get him some burn but behind Stan and pull him when he's getting killed on both ends? Falling down like AD out there and not hitting anything. Even Russ was like... bro, that's a bad shot

    He’s been terrible. Shouldn’t start or finish games. That should be Stanley’s role at this point. 10 minutes off the bench max.

    Ariza was so bad...

    Crowd: How bad was he?

    Me: He was so bad, I wondered if he was paid to throw this game. He couldn't hit a shot, couldn't dribble, every other time he touched the rock he made an unforced error.

    Crowd: Is that all?

    Me: No. He can't play D anymore either.

    I'd really like to not see anymore of Ariza when the game counts. Trevor. Ariza. Looks. Done.

    Never understood the signing. But signing him as damaged goods made no sense.

    we sure seemed to sign A lot of guys who will find this is their last year in the NBA
