    I mean Brogdon is still gonna play like 30 minutes so I don't know what the problem is.

    He plays both sides and acts like he knows shit, while he's scouring social media like everyone else. It's super annoying.

    I'm actually intrigued to see how we'll play without Simons. We already know what he can do, but I want to see how this team does run by more traditional PGs in Brogdon and Scoot.

    He would never do that. He would make Chris Haynes do it

    I still don't understand how he has a job. He spouted his opinion in LA and so that made him relevant? WTF? Half the board is more informed than this guy, and the other half is WAY more informed than this guy.

    I actually don't disagree with him; start Brogdon but only play him until the first timeout before bringing in Sharpe, then treat Sharpe as if he were the starter until the end of the game.

    nah but seriously... Brogdon needs to step up for the squad here.. and really it'll help twofold..

    Cuz now Brogdon can juice his stats for the potential trademarket he;s got much more of a showcase with no Simons...

    That ain't free no more anyway lol.

    I'd probably take the under on most of the lines for the game though

    I miss listening to Dusty Harrah. Until Marang goes off and be irrelevant somewhere else I won't listen.

    That is quite alot already but would add Murray, Camara, Walker, and Rupert. Draft capital is nice, but we would rather develop those four plus the four you stated.

    Also, Thybulle and Grant need to show they are worth what they got this past offseason in free agency. Surrounding them with inexperience does not help them IMO.

    I'm starting Brogdan and Sharpe and bringing Scoot off the bench and staggering him with the other two guys but let Brogdan get us into an offense if there is one.

    Sucks for Ant but this is good for the team. Scoot and Sharpe need to start and play major minutes. I don’t think that makes us worse either. If this works, trade Ant when he comes back. I wonder if Miami would be interested lol.

    The big question here is how many games will he miss. 18 and he can’t get postseason awards.

    I have to agree with Marang at least in the short term like a handful of games just to let Scoot get his feet under him cause the last thing you want is to destroy the young rooks confidence only a couple games into his rookie year. Now I agree Marang is usually wrong similar to Nate but every once in a blue moon he is correct and on this I can see his point.
