I don't think Simons and GP2 got along. You don't want a clown in your locker room when the team is trying to right the ship.
Only thing I can read from this if there is no trickle down trade that was not announced yet, is that this team believes in Shae and is ready to play him a lot more. Maybe Shae to the starting lineup - and see if Cam Reddish can be a designated 2nd unit scorer with Trendon , Drew and MT.
Of course they have a choice, they can run MT in the starting unit as Hart's replacement - and push Shae to be more of a scorer in the 2nd unit.
I liked Payton but he didn’t seem to ever fit on the court. Which I find really weird high IQ scrapper. Oh well think Thybulle is great fit, and also ready to see more Sharpe
All the bigs that moved had question marks. None were difference makers. Poeltl is a quality big but other than that none of them started for their own team. So why sit a Eubanks or Watford for a Bamba or Wiseman? We still have Nurk and we have our own question mark in Badji. CB has options to go big by playing Grant and Watford together with Nurk or Eubanks. What we need at center....was someone much better than was moved today.
Whoopeee! All those 2nd round picks are a great way to win a title. I’m surprised more GMs don’t do this.
Joe is not desperate as he figures this next off season is when he can swing for a hr. He will not go into next season with this roster if they plan on keeping Dame. Plus they still may decide to tank from here on out.
