Great to get a blowout win and play deep into the roster (at least what's left of it). Our rookies continue to grow and impress. Man Man's best game. So close to a double-double and he had 2 blocks. He's trying to block everything now and I'm here for it.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

I am a believer in that kids upside. I think he's going to be a very effective paint presence for a long time.

Colin has fallen off lately. 0 points, 0 for 8 last night.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

I wouldn't say he's fallen off. He has had some consistency issues for sure though. And he did ruin my parlay last night but that's another story. :lol:

Definitely not as hot as he's been earlier this season. He's still only 7 threes away from setting the franchise record.

He should be eating away at Oso and Mark's minutes. When Mark is back I'd like to see them try to incorporate some Oso-ManMan minutes together.

I think it's fatigue. It's like he's hit his version of the rookie wall.
The most NBA games in a season he played previous to this year was 33. (True, G-League games are not factored in.)
This season he's played in 73 games.
He'll be okay in the long run -- he's smart enough to know how to adjust in his training and preparation next year.
A fun team to watch again. A trade or two away from being a serious contender...

This was another good Dunn game, but he’s now missed 12 straight free throws.

His facial expressions and body language did not look good last night. Hope we don't lose him.

That being said, he is playing himself into being affordable for us again. Lock him up to a 4 year contract at the league average.

Green, to me, is a microwave 6th man off the bench. A modern day Jamal Crawford, IMHO. Gillespie is a starter. Both valuable. Odd man out is Grayson or Green, have to choose.

Why can’t we have a four guard rotation …

We can, but we also have Goodwin.

I would trade Green for a PF starter and keep Allen and Goodwin to back up Booker and Gillespie

I would consider that too. Actually I’d trade Allen for Beef Stew, not sure if that is even remotely realistic. But still I don’t know that I’d be in a rush to get rid of these guys.

I sure hope we resign all of Williams Gillespie and Goodwin next year.

Not sure what a Jalen trade could net us, but still, I prefer Allen BBIQ and production for almost half the price. Not sure if Stewart moves the needle enough to be a full time starter on a team with playoff aspirations but paired with Dillon is a potential disaster with their lack of self control.

Grayson Allen is severely underrated on this forum.

Allen's knee is cooked. I'd sell high. He should net more than beef stew.

You can fit in 3 alphas but not 4 in a backcourt. 2 starters and a sixth man. Grayson is too good to be on the outside looking in.

Booyea would be a good 4th guard.

Yes indeed, I like Booyea and Goodwin, certainly, although Goodwin plugs in all the way up to 3 with his ability to guard bigger.

With Fleming looking great, I am not sure we need a future starter at 4...I also think this is Oso's future once he improves his shot. What we do need is draft capital.

I think he is great but I also don't think his knee will hold up like Saucy said.

There will be an expansion draft. Who do we leave unprotected? Green, I think. Good player on a bad contract.

I am extremely high on Allen. I think he has really upped his game this year with his ability to get into the lane. I do think tho you guys are undervaluing Beef Stew.

I like Booyea but he has come down to earth and is more a 5th guard, not a 4th. I also don’t think Allen and Colin are ball dominant guards.

I haven’t watched every game recently but I’m not sure why everyone is so down on Green. I think he’s still got promise.
