Very rare case of wanting a player to be more selfish and just take the shot they have in front of them.


Yeah he needs more Bazz. Haha

Thanks. I'm just saying that we're paying the max for the leftovers that nobody else really wanted. Kinda depressing that we gave up our lottery pick (let's be honest) for "the right" to pay that guy the max.


You do realize that the alternative was paying Andrew Wiggins to continue being a disappointment, right? Wiggins has one of the worst contracts in the entire league for what he produces. Oof. I digress...


Yeah, I get that. Part of what irritates me is that we only traded for him because he's towns last friend in the league. Towns isn't nearly good enough to be dictating who he wants on his "super team" lol. Yeah, he's better than Wiggins, you have a point there.


While the KAT-DLO relationship had to be a consideration, Rosas has been adamant about winning with high-end talent, and he will always be looking for ways to add high-end talent. I believe that was the overriding factor.

I think much of the criticism on DLO is legit and yes there is plenty of blame to go around tonight for the lackluster effort. You have been hyping up DLO to an absurd level and he didn't stand out in any way. I think you praised his shooting, yet he shoots below 40% for game. Some poor passing and we all know that he doesn't defend well. Not what you want to see out of a max player.

People get their favorites and just lock in on the deficiencies of other players. Its just part of the trauma of cheering for a losing team Im afraid.


It's true. I like culver and that's about it on this team.


I didnt like Culver last year but think by his length alone we may as well start him. Culver, like Dlo is not without his warts either. But really this team has nothing to gain by catering to "stars" who have proven nothing. I like Dlo personally but hate the pressure to hide a defender without a unique defender next to him. This is why i start Culver and keep him glued to every unit with DLo. I could care less about Rubio playing with Dlo.


Well said. There is nobody on this team that should be catered to. I like that tandem. Culver has the work ethic and I guess that stands out to me on this team.

Is McDaniels already better than Vanderbuilt?

I'm still at halftime, but now I have something to look forward to in the 2nd half (apparently). Love his potential

Is it too early to fire Rosas?

We'll have to check out them out in the G-league to find out... ;-)

Probably our best chance of seeing a win if we got those two and Nowell down there. I wouldnt be against sending Edwards down for a while too.
