    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    I think Jordi is a good coach but I’m curious why he has already been crowned a better coach than Brown? He has had a pretty good start in Brooklyn but that team is full of long defenders and a bunch of their guys were shooting career highs from 3. That’s the type of combo that can lead to a...

    “The List”

    After sleeping on the list I’m still struggling to figure out the best course of action. Jerami Grant shot 38 percent from the field in November and 34 percent from 3. It’s been a bit better in December but that production worries me a bit. Cam Johnson has had ten teams call about him. Not...

    explain? He is signed this year and next. Do you really think management is going to let their best asset since CWebb leave in free agency after next year? This will either be resolved in the offseason because we turned it around and he signs an extension or he asks for a trade and we get a...

    When Do We Blow It Up?

    Lauri can’t be traded until the off season

    im thinking more in spurts, not the whole game or in crunch time. Just 5 guys that are picking up full court, harassing everyone, diving on the floor etc. tone setting lineup thrown in once in awhile to turn the tide

    There is zero chance we lose Fox without compensation. If he asks for a trade it will likely be this summer and we would get a tremendous package in return.

    I wish we has a 5 man lineup that is essentially a defense death group. 4 guys who string together stop after stop with just Fox providing the offense. Fox+ Keegan, Ellis, Carter and one more person with size. We don’t have a lineup like that that we can turn to build a lead or stop a run...

    “The List”

    you would probably have to give up Lyles and Keon to get him. They need a perimeter defender next to Dame although Iowa boy AJ Green has elevated his game this year

    “The List”

    if you add any of those guys you are banking on them being better in lesser roles. My concern is no one on that list plays with fire and intensity. If I’m Monte I want guys that play with force on both sides. Can migt be the guy that does it the best on the list but the price is too high...

    If the post game has happened did anyone have the balls to ask Fox about the meeting with Paul?

    Vivek bought the team for 500 million and could sell it today for 3 billion. I don’t think he is worried about the equivalent of a mid level exception.

    Yeh, it’s really hard to not feel awful about this year. All the fan trauma we’ve had, underperformance and uncertain future for GM, coach and star player. Can’t just have 2 good years and then back to basketball hell.

    And then we would be blaming the start on more instability from the franchise. And maybe Deebo doesn’t sign because the organization doesn’t commit. Not extending of him would be of no help to this season or future seasons. If Vivek wants him gone, he will gone.

    When Do We Blow It Up?

    yeh but Lauri was ascending, it was pretty clear. He had a very good year in Cleveland. we aren’t trading Fox for a middling prospect and 2 firsts. Blow us a way or force are hand later, no compromise

    I mean it’s self inflicted. Foul on a turn around fade away jumper with 2 seconds left. Cant get the rebound on 2 missed free throws and we missed several 3s to close the gap. I don’t feel as bad about this one as others, enough other things to think about.

    When Do We Blow It Up?

    it’s not a rental with an in prime “star” though. Any team trading for him is not trading for his current contract, they are trading for the right to sign him to his next one. Going to be hard for teams to have 50 plus in cap space to sign him in free agency. He essentially has to be traded...

    “The List”

    Let’s discuss the players the Athletic says we are interested in. I believe them more than the Sidery types. Cam Johnson Jerami Grant Kuzma and Jonas (the pair) John Collins I’m leaving off DFS because the interest is allegedly minimum. All 4 options have flaws. Cam could cost us Devin if...

    When Do We Blow It Up?

    Mikal bridges got 5 first rounders and he is a theoretical elite role player not a star Mitchell got Lauri, Sexton, Ogbaji, 3 firsts and 2 swaps Gobert got Kessler and a ton of picks. Star players in their prime and under contract are worth a truckload. It’s really hard to sign max level...

    When Do We Blow It Up?

    I just looked at their future picks and the only juicy ones are an unprotected Dallas in ‘30 and a Minny ‘31. They could give us both of those since they have their own picks but I’d rather take those Phoenix picks from the Rockets given the age of their roster. Granted the Suns owner does...
