Dragan's biggest problem, to me, is that he plays smaller than he is. Some guys play bigger than their size, others play smaller. Bender plays smaller. Maybe he's getting used to his body still and realizing what he can do.

Also hadn't seen this posted...make of it what you will:

I'm not sure what happened to the Tweet, but it was just stating that TJ wasn't made available to the media for exit interviews.

Weird...Evan Sidery tweeted that TJ wasn't made available to the media and wasn't talking, but then this was posted:

Mentally free. Did he not mentally trust his ankle?

In other words, he didn't want to play.

Dodging the media because he doesn’t want to face questions about what’s been going on with him. Seems to fit with the theory that the problem is mental health. It’s definitely something he doesn’t want us to know about. Other than mental illness, addiction, or maybe HIV, what has that kind of stigma?

TJ is a goner, and I'm fine with it.

I've been a big TJ Warren defender. But this season has convinced me that he's easily replaceable and that we would probably be better off trading him if we could be rid of his salary and/or get an asset back for him.

I wonder what the market is for him? He's on a decent salary if his 3-point shot is legit. We'd just need another team to buy that it is and that his injury concerns are behind him with 10 months of rest (by the time the season starts since he hasn't played since late January.)

His 3-pt shot won't be a question anymore. And scoring was never the question. Only 50 guys in the entire league scored +18ppg.

It will be his ability to be on the court, and that is a huge question mark. I doubt the market will be that interested in him, especially if we aren't.

You're probably right. He may just be a salary number that fits in a trade, but he does have value. It was tough with this team, since we had 3 other small forwards and they brought more on both sides of the court and TJ wasn't a good enough rebounder or defender to slide over to the PF. He will be a tremendous 6th man for a team. Kind of like Lou Williams has turned out to be.
