    We may have shed Simons and DA this offseason but as long as Grant is still here, we’re being held back ultimately.

    If he refuses to play 25 mpg off the bench, waive his ass and deal with it

    Not sure if he's hurt but poor Ant didn't play one minute in Boston's game

    It'll be useful when we finally make a deal with Milwaukee.

    It would be nice if Murray could shoot well to start out and get his confidence back.

    DA was a -25 for the Lakers his first game. Shot terribly from the field.

    Take all the starters out and we don't look so good.

    A really impressive 23 minutes from Shaedon tonight. He stood out as the best offensive weapon that we have. Everyone looks amazing on defense. I really wish we had a switchable big that could stay healthy. To have our number one and number two Cs be drop coverage takes a little bit of the potency out of our aggressive D.

    So glad we don't have Ayton here. Yang fumbling around was 100x more enjoyable to watch.

    Jrue played well and totally fits into whatever the team needs.

    Grant provides little on defense and forces bad shots on offense. Not even convinced he deserves to be in the rotation. Will be a total farce if he starts over any of Sharpe, Camara, Deni.

    I'm seriously wondering if we should consider buying out Grant. If he'd give us back 30 mil and we pay him 70 to go away I'd consider it. No way this guy is tradeable for years.

    Third string is draining the offense

    Reath really is a liability over too many minutes

    I think we continue to see why Duop isn't ahead of Yang in the rotation.
