Hopefully the fans in the arena will have better things to cheer for than Bol Bol next season.

I don't know why he's listing Green, Brooks or Brea like they're so much bigger than we currently have on the wing.

And I don't know....I kind of like Richards and think it'd be smart to keep him around. Great size and athleticism, would be a really solid backup for us if Maluach isn't ready and he's cheap. I could also see him maybe having more value in-season if a team needs size or loses their big to an injury.

That was my thought too....almost treat this year as a redshirt year for Maluach and let him work on his game, maybe even in the G League where he can get a ton of minutes. Richards is perfectly fine as a 15-20 minute a night backup, especially for his salary. I mean unless a team is willing to give up a first for him, then see ya later Richards.

I agree with you guys. Richards had his frustrating moments but also his solid ones. I liked that he tried to attack the rim but it was a little frustrating when he'd lose the ball. Not sure he has great hands.

Richards for multiple 2nds I’d do…not fake 2nd’s though. Otherwise I agree he’d be a nice guy to have around.

I wonder if we could get something outta Denver for Richards, that team needs a back up C in the worst way.
Love, Hurts.

I think we should move him. I'm more invested in Oso getting minutes and we don't need 4 centers with a combined range of "dunk."

That's a good point. You've changed my mind. Assuming Williams is healthy enough to play. Which could be an issue since he's averaged more games not playing than playing by a pretty good margin. Which starts leaning me back the other way again as I talk it out. ;) I guess I could go either way if we're able to use him to help fortify our PG and PF positions.

If someone makes a real offer that'll help facilitate other moves or fills a role, sure, make the deal.

Just don't give him away because you want to create opportunities for Oso and the rookies.

Most people blame KD and Beal for the malaise of this team over the past two seasons, and that's mostly fair. But this guy was a prime example nearly every damn night and it drove me crazy how many fans wanted a bigger role handed to him.

Nice guy, not a nice NBA player.

They gave him so many opportunities and he crapped the bed so many times.

He was just never interested in bringing any intensity on the defensive end. If he were to do that, he would become much more valuable as an NBA player rather than an oddity.

Well, the last couple of years they've gone stretches with players like Josh Okogie (6'4") and Grayson Allen (6'4") starting at SF.
