    NGTH.

    Claver is not the rebounder we need in the 2nd unit and could be traded before the deadline IMHO.

    Robinson has to get burn. The potential is there, he just needs minutes and development. It's worth the risk of a few minutes every game.

    Agreed. But is anyone not seeing that we'd have Barton coming off the bench regularly? That might be the funniest damn thing about this.

    I don't like Robinson getting any minutes, would rather go with the undersized Claver who is a better defender, smarter and more team oriented as our 4th big man/2nd PF.
    Wright is a nice player, I would like him to get minutes but I like the idea of Barton subbing for Batum at least giving us more of a flavor for these minutes.

    There is so many things wrong with this statement.

    Like, saying Claver and 2nd PF, or Barton... at all.

    I don't want Robinson getting minutes at all. Claver is not the ideal replacement but it'll be an improvement IMO.

    Wait, seriously? How has Robinson been so bad you'd want Claver over him?

    I'd like to see them play counter-clockwise.

    Sorry man, but that's just absurd. Robinson has a much brighter future than Claver.

    Robinson >> Klaver. That's the simple truth. Hopefully the door won't hit Klaver where the good lord split him.

    I don't care what name you plug into the rotation but if somebody's shooting 1-9 from the field, I want him on the bench and I don't care if his name is Lillard or Aldridge. In Stotts system you win with scorers and we have a lot of those guys on the bench. I think if the opposing pt guard is killing us, you put the best defender we have on him. So far that is Earl Watson at the pt guard position. Mo and Dame are not great defensive players. Earl is. I don't think Dragic would have dropped 31 on Earl the way he did on Mo and Dame. A coach should play to his strengths and habitual rotations don't fit the bill most of the time.

    Robinson is not good right now, we should work on his bright future in practice.
    Claver plays like he would never shoot the ball but he at least can pass it and should be an upgrade defensively.

    Wright is playing great how can you just bench him perma? I'd rather see Barton get minutes than claver. T rob is raw but he's showing signs of not sucking, which you can't say about claver.
