Ingram sat out way too long in the 4th

And Graham’s situational awareness is so bad lol

The Truth
Great pickup in CJ down the line, especially if Zion comes back.

Consistent 20ppg threat that can shoot, doesn’t dominate the ball, and can create his own shot.

Lonzo Ball trade was a bust
Graham sign and trade was a bust
Jonas and TM3 was a win
CJ trade was a win

Griff shooting 50%... I guess 50% is better than 0%.

People really want to give him another year.

He is so desperate... He shipped out potentially 4 1st round pick in the past 12 months.

The thing we was saying about not letting a desperate man make desperate short sided moves is completely on display.

Still hope hey gets fired. Gotta shoot better than 50% on trades.

Looks like Graham is going to be our annual "package a 1st round pick to get rid of him" candidate from Griff.

They traded away our best defensive guards. So, I'm not surprised. Not finding a way to dump Graham and keeping Hart was tough.
They’re gonna have to rely heavily on the front court for their defensive presence. Unfortunately any talent evaluator worth their salt could see Hart’s impact over Graham, who has shot below 40% every single year of his young career so far and he doesn’t guard anybody :francis:

Larry Nance Jr was a nice pick up to bolster their defensive versatility especially when they wanna play small ball. But I’m not sure how he’ll look coming off surgery
