Telling ya, Trez gotta go. He clogs the paint. We need to finish with Morris or Kuz.
Trez did his job today. However, yea you dont want him closing.

Again in the regular season people forget how dominant Dwight/AD/Bron's +- and defensive rating were when they closed games.


At least pre-bubble from what I remember. So Its not a clogged lane issue imo.

We need a pf/center and SG.....KCP nor Gasol are getting the job done.

I would gladly trade Markieff and Wes to get a wing in return. This opens up more time for Caruso and gets rid of two guys not giving anything but requiring mins. I doubt Pelinka does it though because both took paycuts to be here. Vogels issue is 13 players need mins. Sometimes too much talent is not a good solution

I really liked the idea of Markieff this year but the idea was better than the reality.

Why would anyone give you a wing for those two tho?

Yall want to make trades because a player goes on a slump. KCP has been bad the last 3 games but amazing most of the season. We can use another big and will when the team can sign another guy.

No, I want to make trades to improve the roster. I never said anything about trading KCP...He can still be a very effective role player coming off the bench.....I think a trade package centered around Kuzma could land us a very good starting-caliber player.

Doesn't have to be a great wing, can be at their level. Markieff had a great playoffs and Wes still has good reputation. The trade would be done just to add more mins for guys like Caruso. Our worst rotation is when Kieff and Montrez play together

KCP is the perfect 2 for LeBron, you want a 3 and D guy next to LeBron, I am not sure who they can get who would be better. With Dennis starting, you dont need another player who needs the ball. A lot of our issues stem from AD not being as good as last season, maybe his quad injury is a real issue. If it is, he needs to go take a 2 week break

Or we could make a trade for a PF/C and move Gasol to the bench.
