Gorgui playing great

[Duke13]

Where is Tyus?

[Camden [enjin:6601484]]

Point Jimmy with MGH getting the minutes. Interesting lineup combination for sure, but it's been effective here.

Ah, Tyus has three fouls. Well, he and KAT should be very fresh in the 3rd quarter. I'd like to see us come out energized defensively and put this thing away in the 2nd half.

Where is Tyus?

Lakers went bigish, Thibs played the match ups. And fouls.

If Randle really is available why don't we go get him? Great long term replacement for Taj. I love his fight.

It's funny, but Randle is in the same mold of Gibson. Both tough as nails, both have good feet, both strong bodied bigs with good bases. Randle's actually been a solid defender this year too, though obviously still has a lot to learn. I loved him coming out of the draft and I'm not sure why LA has handled him the way they have. He's a double-double machine when given the minutes.

If randle can be had without giving up much. I'm all for getting him. What we need more of is guys who play hard like him.

There are (much) better options that are available in my mind, but Corey Brewer would be a worthwhile addition to our bench given that he's an energy player and wants to get out in transition, and he wouldn't cost much to pry from the Lakers.

Yep we just need an energy guy. Bring him back!!! Again :) they say 3rd time is the charm right?

I like him but I don't know if we can afford to pay him even a decent contract going forward. He has been really impressive on the boards tonight.

Towns was fantastic when he was out there. Dieng was pretty good

I can't believe that was Ennis first 3 of the year. He is a pretty decent player. The other night he had a bunch of points and none of them was a 3? Wow lol

Apparently Clarkson is being made available as well as Randle. That's a really nice guard making just $11.5M the next couple years.

I'd offer Aldrich ($2M cap hit in 2018), Bjelica (expiring), and OKC's first-round pick for both of them. Talk about bolstering the bench.

Teague / Jones
Butler / Clarkson / Crawford
Wiggins / Clarkson
Gibson / Randle
Towns / Dieng / Randle / Patton

Nine-man rotation with the starters and Jones, Clarkson, Randle, and Dieng.
