Nique might be starting opening night.

We’re going into games with our best wing defender being Nique who we don’t even know if he could defender at this level yet. Let Keegan rest for the full 6 weeks and get that damn tank going

I hope they fill his absence with RUSSELL WESTBROOK!!!

You joke but Russ is still one of those pure chaos agents who can get hot and accidentally get us on a ten game winning streak while averaging a triple double playing 40 minutes a night before randomly forgetting how to play basketball and losing us as many games as he wins whilst also complaining about his playing time for some reason.

Keegan having a thirty second stretch where he played like prime Kawhi to end the half and then apparently shredding his thumb grabbing an orange slice in the locker room at halftime is definitely a contract negotiating tactic never seen before.

I just hope Keegan doesn’t see whoever the hell De’Aaron kept having look at his hand

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggg

If he must miss time at least it’s in November

 

[Caccia]

The injury requires surgery, hence the lengthy recovery time.

No November slump for Murray this year. Doggone.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Saric spreads the floor and can pass but we would probably be the worst defensive team in the league if he starts. Keon makes some sense and as a bonus we would then likely have playing time for Devin. We would also get a look at Lavine at the three. Would be good to have some data there.

Great news for people who love four guard lineups

 

[The_Jamal]

We got a chance to be the WOAT defense. Sign Russ, let's go for glory

Well this made me chuckle a bit, so, thanks for that i suppose. *sigh*

 

[Caccia]

What are the rules for signing a temporary replacement, when a player is out for over a month?

 

[NewArena]

More time for Nique and Keon is the only positive here. Yes, they do need to start Keon and i think he should always be starting here anyhow. DeMar off the bench can be what they want Monk to be IMO.

I hope they fill his absence with RUSSELL WESTBROOK!!!

Honestly i never saw the issue with adding him while the vets are still here. He can be very frustrating and all that, but i love the competitive fire he brings and that IS very contagious. His work ethic and hunger is something i don’t mind the younger guys learning from and feeding off of. Bring em on!

Doug possibly starting Max would be the first big breaking point in his coaching philosophy from Mike Brown.

You forgot to include how many fans he’d get kicked out of Golden 1

I'm back in. Max getting in the rotation is fun

I don’t see how Nique isn’t the starter if Keon starts who’s defending anyone over 6’6? Keon is to small to defend guys like SGA and Ant were screwed when we play teams with any size led wings which is basically every team

The “safer” but still fun option would be an extended run for Isaac Jones at the power forward slot.

 

[Caccia]

Raynaud, the Fox, is our leading rebounder in preseason, both per game and per 36 minutes.

I think Maxime probably allows Doug to keep his desired bench rotation intact.

 

[gunks]

Teams are gonna put up 130 on us while he's out.

Get well soon Keegan, so we can get back to holding opponents to 125!

not one person is going to make a Kris trade joke?
