Fox was #10 in FTA in the NBA last year at 7.2/gm, ahead of Luka, ahead of KD, ahead of Booker etc. This year despite being a "down" year, he's averaging 5.6FTA, #14 in the league ahead of Luka, Lebron, Westbrook, Paul George, Curry etc. This idea that he's somehow not given the respect he...

Oh I agree that it's the truth, point is Simmons isn't the first player to just get mad/butthurt over relatively "harmless" comments

Regarding coach comments - you do realise that Cousins basically hated Karl and lots of fans here, probably including yourself supported him for it just cos Karl said no one was untradeable?

Entertaining yes, actually helping the team no. But can't say I blame him, I wouldn't want the gig if I were him either. Can't blame any player that doesn't want to be here playing for this losing franchise

My bad, thought you were talking about the roster in general

As buddy fan #1 I need to say that Buddy relies completely on his one skill (shooting) and is limited athletically lol. Can someone say groundbound?

No you're right, just thoughts, hopes, and the next head coach who will do all the things you've listed will make us a championship team. Throwing some positive vibes as well.

Relax guys, we all know that the only reason we lost was because we didn't have savior of the franchise TD.

You mean to say that had we just rolled with Donte Greene and Justin Williams and given them more time they would not have magically become all stars?

As opposed to ragging on the big bad ownership?

Best pass from Fox we've seen all season

Why not both? Fox+filler for Simmons, sit Simmons the rest of the year. Basically a poor man's version of Robinson/TD strategy

Did I miss something or did Davion/TD/Bagley suddenly become non-offensive black holes overnight? Don't get me wrong, I don't question the passion and energy, but "team-style oriented play" is about the last thing that comes to mind when I think of these guys' offensive games.

Yeah I agree, championship or bust thinking is dumb for a franchise like ours. While we should by no means sacrifice everything just to make the playoffs once, the whole idea of taking some long path to build a championship team is dumb when we can't even make the playoffs year after year...

I think you start from the basics - draft, free agency or trade. Free agency - good luck with that, so we're only left with the draft and trade. You don't get stars through trade without giving up something. Let's be real, any trade involving Buddy/Barnes without Hali or Fox isn't going to...

Remember a month or so ago when I suggested we trade for Simmons, have him sit out the year and effectively tank/play the young guys and you said we wouldn't be nearly as bad as the Pels/Thunder/Rockets? :p I'll give you the Magic and Pistons though - they bad.

Name 2 guys on the Thunder roster besides SGA and Dortz

Well, it's 100% believable because it isn't anything new/novel. Like oh, Fox is detached, we sure haven't noticed that. Buddy wants to get out of Sac, SHOCKER after almost getting traded. If anything, the fact that we've been seeing Moe Harkless yell + talk to Buddy from the bench suggests to me...

Bring back Keith Smart

IMO a few issues - 1. Lack of versatile Shooting; this includes Fox, Holmes, and Buddy basically abandoning the midrange this season and last for whatever reason. That means closed lanes, and Buddy just not getting easy shots. 2. Not enough off ball action - again relating to never seeing...
