It’s so nice to have a center again, after that idiotic trade for Nurkic.

I hear ya….Especially one that plays hard, doesn’t need to be coddled or on a max contract too.

You mean the Grayson Allen trade? Nurk had to be included to make the salaries work.

Thank God we got Grayson Allen out of that deal and not Victor Oladipo.

It feels good to have a big man that can match up with the other centers in the league. Richards has the size, physicality, and foot speed to keep up and rebound the ball. That was so much needed on this team.

Damn !
I wanted to see him play against the Clippers Monday night. Now it looks like that won't happen. Harden and Powell have been lighting it up. His defense will be missed.

We can hope, can’t we?

If Dunn misses extended time, I bet we go on another losing streak. I think a large part of our recent success comes from guys like Dunn and Richards playing better defense in our starting lineup. The next man up is either Allen or O'Neale, neither of whom are even close to Dunn as defenders.
