You need to get rid of the parts that clearly ain’t working or is a redundancy.

Tyus doesn’t fit- get rid of him

Nurk doesn’t fit/washed/lockeroom cancer- get rid of him

Grayson- him and Beal play the same position, bad defenders -get something for him!


Try and upgrade Plumlee? Asking too much probably.
ROYCE gotta go.


We need to upgrade the athleticism in the room.

Anyone who cant go downhill and dunk it needs to be sent out.

Season is lost. Everyone not named Book and KD(save his ass for the offseason) should be shopped for as much draft capital as possible. Expiring contracts? Cool. Guy with upside who needs change of scenery? Come on down. Shake this tree and see how many fruits fall down.

I don’t think that’s by design…Thunder push every time and SGA hunts Tyus. When you don’t make shots, you can’t set the defense.
I mostly mean he shouldn’t be playing. Match Dunn’s minutes to SGA. Give us some sort of chance.
Fair…we obviously promised Tyus he’d start though
Promises don’t matter to me no more.
They’re all that matter any more. It’s one thing to sacrifice integrity for wins, it’s another thing to throw it away for no reason.

Wonder if the Clippers wish they had SGA back.
Oof. One of the all-time mistakes.

A 43-16 quarter? What in the actual fuck.
It seemed worse.

OKC bit the bullet and bottomed out, and they traded all their assets and built with young players. You can do that if you consistantly make good draft choices and trades.

Maybe this will be enough for Ishbia to blow it up!
I think it's too late now. All the big names have already been traded.

It helps having Sam Presti in charge.

We don’t need big names. We need to rebuild, with draft picks and young players.

Colin Gillespie? Tyty Washington? They show promise. Sign them to the open roster spots and see what you got with them. Especially Gillespie.

Let Oso be the main back up C.

Fuck it, play Bol more.

You got nothing to lose anymore.


See how much draft Capital and interesting players you can squeeze from trading our role players.
