    We would just win 2-0.

    Why do we want those guys? We should be focusing on trades that consolidate, not trades for a bunch of average guys that are bench guys. I dont have much hope for Walker or Toppin to be much more than 7th or 8th men.

    For Doc Rivers acting as a head coach?

    I agree.

    Both Highkin and Marang have said the plan is to keep him. May just be posturing of course, but I'd be surprised if Holiday is moved again barring some out of nowhere overpay.

    Who is more plugged in this guy or Fischer because they are reporting opposite things? Would Fischer carry water for Joe trying to drive the price of Jrue up?

    Bad trade gave up to much for two little and increased our payroll and an older player. Unless we move him this will go down as a very bad deal. Tired of these sideways trades that get us no where. Really we traded for this guy twice and let him go once. Just bad juju.

    Because Jrue is fragile, 100 years old and 100mil

    It will hurt us when we have to pay Shaedon, Toumani, and Scoot.

    I agree. We shouldn't have traded for him then.

    I think the talk of Chris Paul a few weeks ago was very real. The organization wanted to get a legit vet behind Scoot and Shae to learn how to win on the highest level.

    I don't love the money involved but the other options for Ant weren't very appealing and they desperately wanted to move on to give Scoot/Shae the runway.

    Let em jump. There's too much overreacting in here.

    Try again.

    Grant has started 100% of his games as a Blazer over 3 season, is the longest tenured player, and is on the biggest contract. With Ant gone it's more his team than ever. He's not coming off the bench.
