    Painful to watch but I’ll still tune in to watch Sharpe, Scoot and Clingan.

    I really hoped Billups would end up being a good coach but in my opinion he’s a motivational coach. He’s a guy that get guys to play hard for him for a couple of games and then boom they have the emotional drop and he actually has to rely on his coaching.

    Funny their brand of basketball is better the worse the talent level meaning when some of the key vets are out they actually play good team ball.

    Quit watching regularly two years ago. Never started watching this year other than a few games when nothing else is happening.

    Clingan was super fun to watch early this season. Also a couple games of Timelord were great - he's the one vet I'd be super happy to watch too.

    I also loved seeing our defense when we had all these huge wings out there trying hard. Ayton and Ant both turned the defense to unwatchable shit though.

    Sharpe has had moments. I don't have much hope for Scoot but will enjoy watching him in a bench role if we get rid of the vets.

    I think if vets are traded and keys handed to young guns you’ll see them play way more aggressively. I still think PG is hardest position in basketball to play so I want to see a full year with Scoot running it. Decisions need to be made soon especially if we are top 5 in next years draft.

    Think we’ve all noticed when Sharpe feels like he is the guy his game assertiveness goes way up. I still think he can be the star but this deferring to other players needs to end.

    ^ this guy gets it and he only needs one eye to figure it out.

    Sharpe is the future. The present is meaningless. Get rid of the vets and showcase the kids.
