Tyler Herro dropping a series of bombs on the Lakers right now. Always good to see

Definitely agree with that. It can be tough to feel good above the timing of trading a player, if they get in a good groove and are back playing at their highest level,.....but I'd bet that's exactly what they're hoping Huerter does, so they can try to get max value out of him in a deal. Would...

That's fine. I think you've implied that you don't necessarily think that they're still wanting to move Huerter. I do, so it tends to change the view of how the roster is being managed

No matter who is on the floor with this roster or additional players, if the coaching staff is teaching a scheme that collapses inside of 17 feet and leaves the 3 pt line open, the main problem will not likely improve over the season.

Do you have a favorite get, that would fit between Murray and Sabonis? If we're assuming that Jackson is not on the table

If you want to think about Jon Isaac, I'd be good with taking a chance on him. They're probably going to have to take a risk at some point to really become a contender

As far as someone they could acquire, it's probably Jon Isaac or Jerami Grant. I don't view Finney-Smith as a "PF", even though he plays there. He's more a 3 playing 4, like Murray is

It's the kind of thing a coach can get away with when it's a guy on a minimal contract. Not so much with someone who makes ~15+ mil a year. If he wants him to not make any mistakes, then it's a delusional exercise

You can't think of any examples of who you would like to play between Murray and Sabonis? That's a "PF" or a 4

When I make a general comment during a response, it doesn't necessarily mean I think you said or believe it. It's just talk about the situation. I don't agree with everything Brown does with this team. I would you assume it you don't either...and it naturally becomes part of the discussion...

He had one bad game. All players and "ancillary guys" will make mistakes and have a bad game here and there. I don't agree with pulling him from the rotation at this point, regardless of whether this game was a win or not. He wasn't to blame for the string of losses and played better...

He's been yanked around in the early part of this season. Went from starter going into game 1, to pulled a day before,....then played well enough to get the starting position back, then pulled again from the starting lineup two games later,.... to now no play at all. Don't really like how...

He knows what he did wrong and isn't likely to do it again. They don't need to ruin any confidence he had going, by removing him from the rotation. Would be stupid to do that to a valuable defender and shooter like him. The guy just hit 9 threes in a game a while back, when nobody else could...

Brown had been seemingly so against the idea of starting Monk, which made sense with the roster and fit, that it makes me wonder if it was a mandate from those above him to force a change with the losing record

Yeah, seems to me that his key defensive assignments, where he also has a size/length advantage, is when he's guarding 2/3. He also works well on offense as a 3, so there's definitely room in a contending lineup for a "truer NBA 4"

I was in favor of getting Grant. Thought he would fit really well with the lineup, given that I've seen him defend at a high level and think that he would in a playoff push/series type of situation

Draymond Green, Aaron Gordon, Jerami Grant, Lebron James, Julius Randle. All are guys who I would rather not have Murray or formerly Barnes, being matched up with in a playoff series

The issue is that I like him better at the 3. I didn't like Harrison Barnes at the 4 either, in terms of a contending lineup. Had they picked up a starting caliber player in the off season who is a no doubt 4, nobody would think twice about Murray still playing the 3 and would be convinced of...

In college. He can play there, and Harrison Barnes plays there as well. Can the team become a contender with him as the starting 4, along with Sabonis at the 5. That is the important question

Same situation as Keon Ellis last season
