    do you continue to start vonleh or do you bench vonleh and start kaman? I am heavily in favor at this point in starting kaman. At least he can contribute with the pick and pop, less athletic but still a veteran. He had 12 and 5 in 15 minutes tonight. I don't recall vonleh having these numbers except in garbage time this season

    Depends on who they are playing and if it is the Playoffs or not.

    Vonleh. This season is about development not winning.

    Kaman needs more minutes in the last 5-10 games leading up to the playoffs. It's tough because we don't wanna get behind by 5-10 points in the first quarter of every game in the first round, but we also want to give the younger guys some experience. I say start Kaman, he's a vet and a former all-star!

    Vonleh. This season is about development AND winning. That's why he starts but doesn't finish.

    Why should we FUCKING START CHRIS KAMAN?! We're trying an experiment where we play only our weakest players? We've decided to tank the season anyway? Still can make it to the fucking lottery, you know.
    We have Plumlee, Davis, Vonleh, that's unfortunate enough as it is. We have Alexander in the NBDL but there's no chance we'd call him back, we would rather play Kaman. Kaman is slow, he stegnates the offense, he's a very poor defender, he's no longer an NBA level basketball player. Play Plumlee, Davis and Vonleh is different rotations, play Aminu or Harkless at the 4 in small lineups, Kaman's role is as a mentor, to enjoy the ride and play in garbage time, that's all

    Kaman had a rare game. I would not expect him to shoot the same % with consistent minutes....

    WTF do you not understand about getting the pick next year in return and thus having more time to analyze our needs???? Fuck man... I thought you were actually a smart guy, just a pessimist. Now I see you either simply don't read anyone else's posts (which goes hand in hand with you saying no one can change your mind), or your simply a troll trying to rile people up....

    Its one thing to disagree on opinions, but when you are simply wrong on the asset and what we get, all your doing is pissing everyone off around here because you are wrong.. its a fact. Your wrong....

    I think your about to go on the ignore list since you are unable to have a reasonable conversation regarding the FACTS of our picks....

    It's not Kaman we should be starting in Noah's place. It's Aminu. And Harkless or Crabbe move to starting SF.

    This coming from the guy that says we should have had Tim Fraizer play more minutes.

    It's hard to take any of your posts seriously.

    Right now, I would move Aminu to power forward and start either Crabbe or Harkless. I would bring Kaman off the bench for 20ish minutes per game.

    I know. 15 and 5 in 15 is SOOOO MUCH better and more effective than 12 and 4 in 11.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
