    I won't judge Layman's game until he plays 20 minutes a game...might be in China, but I can wait

    Stotts doesn’t like Meyers but Neil wanted/encouraged/forced him to play him till this season.

    I mean, if anyone would like Meyers it'd be Stotts. a Center/PF (whatever the hell he is) that stretches and shoots the 3 is what he always wantss.

    You guys are critiquing players based on scrub time? It means nothing

    30 assists for the Blazers tonight, which is a season high for us.

    There's no other time to talk about Jake Layman though...

    Fine, we love having a poor AST:TO ratio.

    $20 million sitting on the bench, waiving towels. Just a gut feeling but I think those guys are being left out on purpose. Both guys could interest Chicago, especially Moe. I wouldn’t be surprised whatsoever if they are just waiting on January 15 to execute a move for Mirotic and one or both are being kept off the court as much as possible to preserve health.

    there aren’t that many (playoff) teams that'd make sense for Mirotic that also have young players that’d interest Chicago, while also being able to match salaries. I’ve been saying this, but the match is there with Portland.

    It doesn't really make any difference who we are talking about it, every year we judge players based their minutes when the scrubs are all in. Other then judging a players athletic ability, it doesn't tell us anything.

    so...you just watch the scrub and say...surprise me...it's not like fans are raising or lowering their value one way or another but you scout players...I watch our G league players the same way and I think it does tell you something

    To be fair, anyone could write that... I think he would want a link to the actual thread.
