It's really not worth it to be arguing about this.
Cheers, so true

Ayton makes it look so easy. Although we still haven't seen anyone try to take away his jumper and how well he can put the ball on the floor when that happens. Will be interesting to see how he does when they start pushing him out of his comfort zone.

Kid is going to be good. The only question is how long will he take to adjust to the league.

If I never have to see Shaq Harrison play it would be too soon. I know it's this dude's livelihood but he sucks and doesn't deserve to be on an NBA roster at this point.
I think this is totally incorrect. There is a role he can play in the NBA. We are just asking him to do things he isn't suited for.
What role is that? Defensive specialist? I think we are too bad to afford that luxury at point guard. We need a playmaker.
Defensive specialist for what? One possession and then call time-out as soon as we get the ball to sub him out? Teams just don't do that.

It's easier to hide a wing player or big who sucks at offense. It's really difficult to hide a guard on offense. He makes terrible decisions and is wild too so it's not like he plays within himself on offense.
That's the only counter argument I can think of that would've been made.

This team feels similar to that 2004-2005 team. We just need a conductor to come in here and orchestrate it
I do feel the same way.

Nash Booker Jackson Ariza Ayton.

I've been on the maybe we can survive with our PG foursome, but unless Canaan shows up and surprises, we need to go get one.

Vegas might not be too far off from their prediction.

Bridges absolutely blows. McDonough sure loves to trade the farm to pick up guys like Chriss and Bridges.

I also wanted to shout out the new floor. Seen that they finally fixed that floor, which was embarrassing last year.

He hasn't been playing well so far but I have faith he's going to start putting it together.

Bender wide open in the corner, drops it because he was looking to pass... Trade him

Bender with the butterfingers in the corner.

Yeah, I'm not seeing any improvement in Harrison's shot.

Maybe give him more than 15 minutes to make that decision.

I called Chriss being trash after his first season and a bunch of idiots said how he's so young and he needs more than just one season.

So nah I'll trust myself.

Ugh this is painful to watch. The more things change the more they stay the same.

You should probably go and get yourself a job as an NBA scout then, you'll probably make a lot of money.
