    So OKC picked up both of our 2-ways from last year. I though Hoard was much more promising than Moses actually.

    Nope. I want Dallas AND Portland to win the rest of the way. I want the Lakers in the play-in. Anything can happen and they miss the playoffs. No time to feel-out an opponent in play-in.

    Looks like Moses Brown was a flash in a pan. He has 0 points and 1 rebound and a -22 in 18 minutes.

    Man man that Gary Trent trade looking real bad right about now. Not that Powell sucks or anything but he’s terrible in our system because of Stotts. Dude is going to walk and nobody will blame him

    Playoff Powell is good. Trent not so much.

    Exactly. Powell is a flight risk and will probably leave the way Stotts has been using him

    Paying Trent 20 a year off the bench would be a disaster. Matching an offer like that and thinking "we can just trade him" is stupid. His value plummets immediately on that deal. We made a small upgrade, and found someone potentially more retainable. But people gotta whine.

    How does his value plummet? As long as he continues to get better his value does not plummet
