Thats the problem with this coaching staff we never know whos getting minuets or whos playing with who, its like the coaches are just guessing who to put in on any particular situation. its unwatchable.
They quit last year. So bad in fact they fired his GM. This is why if your coach is incinerating your locker room and he no longer has his GM, he has to go. Now the question is do they want to continue down this path and waste time with misuse handicapping their assets so they can get a marginal lotto pick or do they want to see if they can salvage the season before it's too late? They can't afford too get in to much of a hole early because the bad blood is there already. There are only so many lifelines.
Regardless of your thoughts on players you like it don't like, front office or coaching staff you have or haven't supported, if you're here and still paying attention then credit to you.
When you've made enemies with your vets the rooks will at least just play so not a bad idea at this point. Walton has kind of already been a little desperate more than usual this year with his rotations but he keeps looking to the wrong people to give him the effort he needs.
No need to trade anyone. Get rid of Luke and his outdated concepts and moronic sub patterns and this team will immediately look better. Or at least be watchable.
Defensively, when we go big we are a step slow all over the place. Just beat over and over. I mean we got some guys on the bench in James and Woodard and Ramsey and GRob where we can play small all game long but Walton is going to stick with his guys and get roasted instead of him reacting to what is going on. Luke is awful.
I can take losing but this is too much. Hey back Haliburton, we need you. Ty is like the Dramond Green of the Kings. He just does the little things that change the dynamic of their team.
Not saying it's necessary and Gentry isn't exactly a value building coach historically but do the one first for sure, and the other waits until they can build some value back. It's hard to make trades now with what Walton does to player values. The only players he can build is role players. That's it.
