Martin seems to shoot like he is the #1 option out there. I dont get what our team is gaining by having him out there.

Well, theoretically he's one of the few guys on the team that can shoot 3's consistently and manufacture points when nothing else is working. But in reality, he's even struggled with the things he's good at.

Sigh. Whose turn is it to start the college prospect thread? It's about that time of year.....

Unfortunately that's the reality, we have the 5th worst record in basketball? After going thru an easy part of our schedule too. Haven't seen the Spurs or Okc yet.
Can Ben Simmons play PF?:)

Real SP--This is just inexcusable. This team isn't growing, it's getting worse, if things don't turn around Sam should not make it to the end of the season. I haven't been the disgusted with a Wolves team in a long time.

Agree. The offense is a joke. Sam is supposed to be a coach that coaches defense. PnR defense is also a joke, as Pork pointed out. So, shitty offense, shitty defense. A waste of another year. Glen won't fire Sam he already said he wants to see how he does this year. So this is it.

For the record, the CNN Presidential debate was far more interesting than this latest flop.

He can play PF. He just can't shoot.

I don't mind Sam as an assistant coach, he's just not a head coach in the NBA. It doesn't help when his supporting cast is freakin Sidney Lowe, Flip Jr. and Adelman Jr. Those guys have simply inherited the roles. I expect to see a total overhaul next season.

It seems to me that Sam is trying to stick with Flips blueprint and vision. Problem is it seems only Flip knew how to make it work. And even then it wasn't a great plan. The game has changed, and you need to shoot 3's to compete. Look at GSW.

I'm not too disgruntled about the current roster. Martin is the only guy who needs to be moved. He's giving us absolutely nothing this season, and is simply taking minutes from Zach at the 2. Would like us to trade him for a legit NBA PG like Collison to fill in for and play off Ricky.

As mentioned I think a shortened rotation would help. Rubio-LaVine-Wiggins-KG-KAT with Bazz-Dieng-Bjelica-Prince off the bench and Miller getting scrap minutes at the point.

Yeah I feel like Ive mentioned that Martin move (or something similar) a time or two.
