That last play with Red Velvet taking a forced shot was terrible. Need better look. Goodwin just missed that after Tip back

DeAndre has hit a serious wall. Hopefully the ASB can help him get his mind right.

TS and Ressler on the same page? You sure about that? These moves are a reaction to what has been a disastrous season

I’m interested on if y’all think we might entertain trading our pick if it lands us a certified all star/super star wing this summer.
100% I am sure about that. I wouldn't have said it if I wasn't. You know I got ears around the team.

None is available. Why do you think GS took on Wiggins? Hell, we were getting calls on Hunter and declined them all. Wings who can defend SF's are hard af to find and the really young ones tend to struggle v. them. See Miles Bridges. It's the hardest position to defend in the NBA and on top of that, you got to be productive on offense. It's hard af, much harder than you think.

He played a lot of minutes early on and still does. I remember Kevin hitting this wall last year and wasn't asked to do half as much as Hunter is.

52 games in. What will be our record for the final 30 games? Probably won't start to gel as a team until late February. shyt probably longer. Plus Capela still has foot issues.
Depends on health. I am an optimist. I still have hopes of the playoffs but that's such an uphill battle.
What we got is a lot of talent, experience, and an easy schedule coming. Hopefully, we can get and stay healthy.

HMMMMM.....are we really gonna give Collins the max brehs??? :jbhmm:

Something about that just doesn't sit right with me.

He's 22 years old.

Perimeter shooting has improved every year.

He's averaging 20 and 10 on 55% shooting. 2 BPG, 35% on 3's, 80% on FTs.

What other young PF putting up those numbers (and keep in mind he's had to spend a lot of time playing out of position at C this year) ??

But yes you give him the max (unless you think he'll get busted for PEDs again). You don't have to worry about the other young players for another 3-4 years from now.

I’ve heard differently about Ressler and Schlenk and that they aren’t 100% on the same page, until this team starts winning I think they’re gonna be like that. I don’t think Schlenk is in any real danger tho, at least not for another year, same with Pierce

Im iffy about it, he’s improved every year in the league and I like his game but he’s not a great defender and not a consistent outside shooter. Is he worth a max? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so to the Hawks maybe. I think he’s a good player with a max at borderline All Star but I don’t think he can get much better than that. I don’t know if that’s max worthy

Damn near 25 and 11 on high percentages ain't max at age 22??



That’s not a whole season breh, he’s a good player and despite him killing the season with his stupidity, he seems like a good guy. I’m not convinced he’s a max player yet

For the whole season he's at 20/10 and getting stronger as it progresses.

Only arguement against giving him the max is he's missed a lot of the past two seasons.

But I ask, if you're not maxing him, what young PF you're maxing outside of AD, Greek Freek, Ben Simmons, Pascal, or maybe Bam?

There aren't many ahead of John or have the same current trajectory in his age group (20-24).
