AD had to hit the I did play here too :whoa:
I'm glad that I figured this out yesterday and let out my pissed off rant. AD made me feel a bit better to have someone from the organization to be real with us. It's just sad that it had to play out in such messy fashion.

Bench was a no show and JV not gonna shoot that bad again. Played pretty solid till Korkmaz decided to go on a run. Lack of backup 4s is once again an issue. Garrett Temple cant be your best option for when Zion is gone.

I think the only bad spot I see is the waste of a lot of salary in Temple, Tomas, and Hart.


Is that trio better than matching Lonzo. I'd say hard no.

Also, not to get it twisted... It wasn't Lonzo or Graham. We could have both and able to have a good guard on the bench when we need it the most while we develop Kira and TM3.

I just wished we got better value for money spent than what we got from letting Ball walk.

Too many empty unplayable contracts meant for trading not playing.


All in all, I like team. It's still way too top heavy. Wish we could of gotten Sharife Cooper or Butler in the 2nd round. Need more long term development guys in the lab.

After re-watching this game. Really love our core pieces. JV, Graham. Ingram, NAW, and etc.

I hope we move these unplayable filler contracts as soon as possible. Which isn't till after the new years. Hopefully, our season isn't in the toilet by then. Bench needs halp.

This whole taking on filler contract needs to stop. We been doing it for three years and only had one positive trade. It was the JJ trade. We need talent badly.
