If this keeps up yuo gotta believe Keith Smart is coaching inside of a month. The Maloofs won't want to pee away the whole season and will have to make the change soon enough that maybe we can make a run at things if we respond to the change.
Westphal has simply got to change up what he's doing here, because he has the entire team confused as hell...again. And he's got no more contract left for security, and a former head coach sitting right next to him on the bench.
I don't think anyone is advocating giving him up for nothing. But if you packaged him with another player and a future first rounder you could probably get a good player in return.
Reke is a bigger, stronger, AI. Give him enough shots per game and he'll score 30. Dude even shoots at an Iversonesque clip. Has the same "doesnt play well with others" skill set.
That being said, unless we get an amazing offer...I think its still a bit premature to ship Mr. 20/5/5 off.
We need us a real coach, not a clown, then maybe we'll finally see our youngers improve, rather than this slow, roster wide, devolution of skills we've had to watch over the past several seasons.

Reke and AI shouldn't not be used in the same sentence. Reke has done nothing to show that he's the same caliber player as AI.

Define good player.
Well, I was talking Rookie Reke, and Welfare AI of course.
Define good player.
If anythign, Evans should be marching into the coach's office one of these nights and telling the coach ok enough, tried it your way, we are dying. If I'm going down, I'm going down doing it my way. Because frankly Geoff and Westphal have created a real mess here to start the season.
Worst part is....This is going down EXACTLY like all the haters said it would....Extremely selfish basketball.
contract year
I think our problem is that Evans way of doing things and Westphals way of doing things, is one in the same. We need a coach that can show some authority and bring in a system that put players accountable for when they don't perform. Just going to run iso aftr iso? GET BENCHED.

Hardly. Or at least hardly this year. Geoff overloaded the roster with offensive players. Westphal responded by asking all of his guys to step back and make room for all their fellow chuckers. Now nobody knows what to do, there are no roleplayers setting good screens, moving without the ball etc., and we don't actually have a team, we have a bunch of individuals. Its like somebody trying to build a car from scratch and going out and buying 5 engines but no tranny, axels, or wheels. Because after all one engine is good. So more must be better no?
R3eke is very clearly not going as much as he would normally. And neither is Thornton. Or Fredette. Or anybody except for Cousins, who is rushing everythign and shooting 30%. And there is no point in that at all. Nobody get sin rhtyhm. Everybody is constantly thinking do I shoot or pass or...what else should I do? Its a mess. Comparatively throw the ball toi Reke, get out of his way, and let him do his thing made sense. That cannot work long term, but at least there everybody knew what they were supposed to do every play.

i think our biggest problem right now is we just simply can't shoot. field goals or free throws. I mean our top scoreres Thorton, Evans, Cousins, and I guess Jimmer. all missed 8 shot each tonight. Then we miss 15 FT as a team??? Its hack a King out there. We just can't make our freakin shots. Sure you can use clogged lane and no spacing on some of that. But more than that we are just missing. We are getting the rebounds we aren't turning it over to much. defense lapses sometimes but its not the worst we have seen. we just can't shoot. If i had to pick one player on our roster to shoot a 15 ft set shot right now I guess it would be Jason Thompson. That is a sad state with the "shooters" we were supposed to have this year.
Unfortunately teams would be scoring 150 points on us ever single night
Hate to say it but I TOLD YOU ALL SO! Check my posts from the last two years. Evans is not even a GOOD NBA player let alone a "superstar" as he's been labeled since his rookie year.
