I’m surprised Kornhub is still out. Must be a bad sprain. What is Sochans timeline?

I haven’t experienced this at all.

I just don’t see the practicality of this. We’re finally seeing our role players do role player things. On top of filling in nicely with an all star and 3 rotation players out. Depth matters. To consolidate down to one player with all those assets makes no sense to me. I completely...

I feel like we dodged a bullet not getting that guy.

This will depend greatly on how seamless Fox integrates. He’s not really been on the court with anyone yet.

We’ll see how his season goes but I think his career is over. I bet he doesn’t play 50 games this year or since you’re shooting for the trade deadline I bet he doesn’t play in 65% of the game available up to that point. I think we need to prioritize having a healthy roster towards the end of...

Yeah, Harper really showed the benefits of his on ball play. Too early but his play off the bench is arguably 6th man of year talk if he keeps it up. Moving Vassell to the bench when Fox returns could work well for that backcourt.

This. He can handle the ball fine but all these struggles in the press will be solved when Fox returns. Castle will greatly benefit from not having to be on ball dominant.

They’re going to really need to work on breaking the trap and double teams. Rather than look at this as Castle failing as a primary ball handler under pressure I think it just further cements that Harper/Castle is a backcourt that can easily coexist. Should honestly be a smoother transition...

We really don’t need to “get off” contracts right now. In the context of upgrading then I think that’s a good idea but simply attaching picks to whittle down contracts doesn’t appeal to me. I feel that would just water down our depth. Especially since this team loves holding players out and be...

I just read he is on restricted minutes with some kind of illness or injury. Not sure what’s going on there.

Yeah I’m one of the ones against that. Giannis is on the tail end of his prime. With the way Wembys game has developed this season I think it’s obvious that he would have stifled his development or emergence. I like the next 10 years of Castle and Wemby vs the next 3 years of Giannis.

Vassell is playing within his role and doing what needs to be done with Fox out. If we whittle all these role players down to lesser players simply because we want to collect bargain contracts we’re gonna suffer when our main players are out from injury. These lesser players will be exposed...

Right into a double that has stifled him the whole game. 🤦

This. We can blame individual play all night long but Wemby isn’t handing the double team well and our ball movement in general is piss poor. We have got to swing the ball around. Wemby needs to pass out quickly and trust that ball movement will bring the ball back to him in a better position.
