    Probably have to give up our pick to get someone to take him.

    The thing thats hard to know is if Paul is as upset and impatient as Canzano is telling us everyone should be.

    The picks are rookie scale contracts to be signed. No trivial amount when you're dealing with the luxury tax.

    Honestly I'd still be fine with this team playing their best basketball and winning games, even if it means matching up against the warriors in the first round. Don't get me wrong the odds of everything clicking and us winning a first round series against the Warriors isn't high, but I'm definitely taking the Lloyd Christmas if that situation becomes a reality.

    I'd also be fine playing our developing players heavy minutes for the rest of the season. Get Layman out there for 20 minutes, give Napier more minutes and let Dame and CJ take it easy...

    Definitely do not want to see guys phone it in and not give effort on the court in order to lose. Don't think there is any chance of this happening though.

    It is Stotts, so ultimately I feel fairly confident predicting no changes to the rotation or allocation of minutes.

    I'd buy into that, hard to fathom Meyers could worsen his value more by playing...lol

    I'd like to rest Dame, but I don't think he'll go for that.

    There is zero reason to win another game this season, so they'll probably play at above .500 for the rest of their games this season.

    Man, I wasn't in the tanking spirit until you posted that sick ass futuristic anime robotech kill dozer of a tank. I'm onboard now!

    Thanx!

    I can't wait to draft the best combo guard available since that is almost all there is at the top of the draft.

    Too much Nurkin putting too much work in. We won't lose enough if Nurk keeps playing like this.
