Aside from experience of course. I am liking how these team is developing, you can tell they will grind it out with just about anybody and might only lose JUST because of inexperience. But what is it that they are missing at as far as fundamentally and position-wise. I was thinking point guard at first (cause you know we all was big on that Mudiay to Bucks campaign) but now I'm not sure. Brandon Knight isn't really a point guard, but he has been pretty solid. Could say a 2.....but I am liking how OJ Mayo has come back, although dude might still benefit more as the 6th Man of the Year candidate. I was thinking, maybe making it so that Knight and Mayo come off the bench with the second unit.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
All they need is a shooting guard and more experience, Giannis and Jabari are their foundation, everything outside of those two is replaceable. I think Knight works with them because as he gets better Giannis will handle the ball more and more and allow him to play off it since he's really a 2, but his defense is solid so I'd keep him.

I think they make the playoffs this year also, their defense is pretty good for them to be such a young squad, but I have to wonder if that's for the best since Towns, Winslow/Johnson or Okafor with them would be nightmare fuel for the league.

wrong. nothing about kidd's coaching job to this point says incompetence. top 10 defense in the league so far, and i believe they lead the league in bench scoring. he's inconsistent with his lineups but he's making the absolute most of this roster to this point. they need a big that can consistently score. sanders is a good rim protector, zaza is streaky. maybe jabari becomes that but he's not really a post player by nature

I don't think they have a losing record at the end of the season, think 42-40 is where they end up. And considering their age, that would be impressive, especially when you compare it to the Sixers who are only slightly younger (23.7 average age vs 23.4).

I would have loved to see them go after McLemore or Stauskas, both guys are exactly what they need at the 2.

yeah mclemore or stauskas would've worked well for them.

i see them at 40-42 this year...not that much different from you. but i dont think they'll ever crack 50 wins. i think they're too young now, and when their young talent develops the bucks wont be able to keep them.

I can respect that, I just don't think he is the right coach to develop a young, developing team. He's the rex Ryan of the NFL.

Send George Carl back to Milwaukee

i kinda agree as far as developing. he's staggered jabari's minutes throughout the season. he starts but after the first quarter your guess is as good as mine as far as how long he'll play afterward. i do like how he's letting giannis handle the ball tho so it works both ways

Ask D Williams J Johnson, Pierce, and KG if they would like Kidd to return :mjlol:
i think brooklyn had the best record in the east, if not the entire league post all-star break. this is with them losing lopez for the season. and they lost to us, like everyone in the east did for 4 years. he's not as bad as you're making him out to be breh

JKidd the gawd had a really :flabbynsick:-roster and no Brook Lopez and STILL won a playoff series

Knight and Antekempomompomo showed more progress in one month under Kidd than in the years before
