They REALLY need to trade JV. He's way too slow to react to anything out there. I just don't know they're going to get rid of him without getting rid of a 1st. Masai gotta stop signing people to big contracts so early. I dunno about Norm...I think Casey needs to swap him and Miles. FVV has been awful, he's playing like a worse version of Cojo from last year.

fvv is not a nba player
thanks to gregg marshall, cleanthony early, fvv and ron baker have swindled millions

who would want jonas?
cant believe we could have got drummond for val :heh:

plodding centers are dead in the nba. But at least a guy like brook lopez can shoot 3s

Masai doesn't give a fukk about his team.

He cares about his other shyt. giants for africa, basketball without borders and now the lame she the north bs they got going on.

How is JV still in the NBA let alone on this team

Ron Baker getting $9 mil was so fukking dumb. He's a 3rd string PG and he hasn't played in weeks :russ:

Cleanthony Early did get cut a year after he got shot in the leg.

I think FVV has proved he's a 3rd string PG at best, but it looks like Casey insists on playing him. :francis:

Masai does a good job evaluating talent (for the most part). He is falling in the same traps that Colangelo did though, he holds onto his players way after they've shown their ineffectiveness. If the Sixers can't get a 1st rounder back for Jahlil Okafor, the Raps are probably stuck with even worse offers for JV. Maybe they'll get rid of him in 2019 when they can deal him as an expiring :mjcry:

i wonder if the mavs would take jv for noel

norm powell signing was ridic, reminds me of the terrenc thot signing, instead of waiting to see if they will prove themselves yous ign em to a big contract just incase they blow up.

could have had james johnson at sf, providing shut down d and scoring 12-15 a game with a high percentage

No way they would take JV for Noel. Why would they give up an asset for three more years of a slow footed big at the max?

Norm is definitely best as the 1st guard off the bench. He doesn't fit with Lowry/DD at all. He's too small to guard most 3s.

Yeah, but would James Johnson ever get playing time under Dwane Casey? Probably not. It feels like Masai is sabotaging himself with all of these decisions. It doesn't look like this team is moving on up, and they're over the cap next year and Masai has a lot of salary committed to a mediocre team. No way they'll be able to trade Norm, his contract is so long. JV is just not a fit with any team. Ibaka is so inconsistent and he's just not as athletic as he used to be. Lowry is on the wrong side of 30. DD is a non-shooter. How is he going to make this all work next year and keep MLSE happy?

fire masai uriji

ibaka signing was horrible, dude is like 35 with forged papers is why he just shoots jumpers now
kyle lowry is done why sign a pg who struggles to stay in shape to that salary prob the easiest position to plug in is a point guard

id rather have traded for ricky rubio with a first rounder than signing Lowry to that deal

Ibaka deal was bad. I wonder what the market was like for Lowry. I honestly think they could've gotten a better deal for him. Easier said than done to plug in a new guard when you have a coach that struggles to develop talent. Casey is no Rick Carlisle, Brad Stevens or even a Kenny Atkinson.

How much do we lose by tonight?
Who defends Eric G? or even Harden?
