Probably consistent actual on court production
oh man
Haha, I actually agreed with a lot of what Mori said, I just want to see that turn into actual on court production. My expectations were never super high, but they have lowered as I thought we'd see more from him at this point. I feel pretty similar about Chriss. I'll be happy if either become useful pieces as I'm not expecting stardom or borderline stardom from either.

I just want a solid role-playing starting PF/C out of Bender. I think he can be that. Might be our 5th best starter behind Doncic, Booker, Jackson, and (FA center), but that's fine with me. He could still be really important for us.

Ya I think that's still in play, hopefully we see a significant step forward this year. Do we see him in summer league again? I think I'd play him and have Igor coach and get started finding him a place in the offense.

I think he needs to go to summer league and be our "veteran" presence there. He needs to see his own growth against lesser competition and also feel the responsibility of no longer being the youngest guy on the team.

Wasn't this rumored awhile back?
I hadn't heard it. I think I like it though. I would hate him for head coach but he is supposed to be an excellent defensive coach. He might make a real nice one-two punch with Kokoskov.

I think someone mentioned him as a possibility when he left the clippers due to his history with Igor in Detroit

Loooooool.
I’d love for him to go all 82 games having generated statistics in every game. That’d be a start.

I hadn't even heard about Woodson leaving the Clippers but now I see he did on the 15th of this month.

I think that Woodson is a very good hire, played for Bobby Knight and has been a good coach for a long time. I also know that Eddie Johnson is a very good friend and has always supported him on the air. I wonder if Eddie Johnson has any voice at all in our decision making. I would think that ex players like him and Tom Chambers would be worth listening to.

Solid hire as lead assistant. He'll be a steady hand, give some credibility with the players. Wouldn't necessarily want him as head coach, but as an assistant I'm cool with it.

I guess Woodson isn't official but Corliss Williamson is:

It's funny, I would actually consider him with the 59th pick. I would also consider Giannis's brother Kosta for that spot too.

Why? I'd rather trade that pick for a bag of gently used carrots if LiAngelo is the other option.

He's actually a pretty decent shooter with a quick release and range. He's strong and a decent athlete who also has some skills on the catch and in the post. He's partially intriguing.

As well as a perfectly defined lesser brother, traditions are important.
