It's been like 5 games, he's also been downright unplayable.

Why would we concentrate on that when he's played well lately? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Being realistic.

Bol Bol clearly got special attention from the coaches, maybe because of Isiah.
I guess if they do that to all the bench players, they could perform, if not brilliant, at least acceptable.

Get me last year's Wantanabe, could really use another 3pt sniper.

I think I read recently he was working with KD. I'm sure that can help with confidence. That seems to be where Bashful Bol struggles and seems to have improved.

He's got a longer track record than Terribol.

I love the abrupt change of mood in the avatar, TOO! (Obviously, Bol is getting you excited! )

It's a long season.

My favorite is Okogie’s screen.

No Excuses

LOL @ the Baby Shark one. And LMAO @ Bol Bol having Snoopy on his; that is so random and so him. That was a cute video.

Trade chatter seems to most interestingly bubble up around Royce O'Neale and Tyus Jones of course...bets on any if either turn into reality?

Is there a realistic target out there for us in a trade with our current assets that you like man. Any under the radar options?

There are some solid floor spacing options that are currently unrestricted free agents/ unsigned that we could look at. They may not be fully proven by a large sample in the nba yet, but Watanabe isn't really doing anything anyways despite his reputation either. The realistic names that I've come across that might be intriguing for vet min option are:

1- Ryan Turrell ( Jewish connection with Ishbia) A 6'7 fluid sniper with a tenacious attitude.
2- Joey Hauser. Sam Hauser ( phenomenal player for the Celtics) older brother, also a great shooter and gritty player at 6'9. Kind of a dollar store Bojan
Bogdanovic ( Detroit).
3- Matthew Hurt- A very mobile 6'9 energetic high IQ floor spacing 4/5 that is crafty and versatile offensively.

I'm sure there are a few more options out there. Just not sure who that might he in trade? Maybe an Atlanta trade for Saddiq Bey and Garrison Matthews?

I like these posts with various guys around the league who may be available. But what I keep coming back to is, how does any given guy actually help this team? We have really bad 4th quarter offensive numbers. Most of our best guys play in the 4th. So any guy we acquire has to be good enough to play in the 4th quarter to really help us. Would any of these guys do that? Maybe Bogdanovic? As much as folks have maligned our bench, I feel like really our top 6-7 guys have been unable to hold leads or get stops and that's our biggest true problem.

Also, I LOLed at "Jewish connection with Ishbia."

I do not believe there is anyone that would be available with the resources we have that could help without moving someone like Allen or Gordon for a more athletic defensive stopper and I don't know how smart that would be. Especially when it's Allen, rather not move him.

They’ll get better in the 4th Q when they play together more.
