Simply Bruno didn't fit in whatever timeline Masai and them decided for the team.
They were pretenders 4 years ago, now it's all in.

@FireDwaneCasey Watching this Warriors/Grizzlies game. They are holding their own against the Warriors. JV is still a pylon on defense. He's still turning the ball over. But this team looks like they're much improved, and they're great on defense. They move the ball so well. Lots of smart passers. They're gonna be pretty good in a year with JJJ and Dillon Brooks back. If they hit on their high pick this year, they will have successfully reloaded. They may have accelerated the Grizzlies's rebuild. It's too early to say they've lost the trade, but they may have turned the Grizzlies's fortunes around.

We lost the trade

Jonas May be a pylon on d but he’s dominating on offense and can’t be stopped

Bruno looks like he got it as well

We lost

None of these analysts have any info its not worth watching,look at the juelzing Cris Carter has done the last few days,this nikka last September said no chance hes resigning hes gone Raptors shouldnt even bother,he wont report to camp,he said his sources within KL's camp told HIM he wasnt gonna report...

They are trying to funnel him to LA like AD like PG but they have no inside info including Cris Carter...I heard one of these idiots on Fox Sports saying money doesnt matter to Kawhi as if theyve had phone convos with him saying 50 million doesnt matter to him he dont care lol....

Its a parody of sports analysm.

Im not saying much on it cuz it dont matter right now but im @ all these nikkas when the unthinkable happens and dont let these ignorant nikkas fool you its at least 50/50 and the 50 mil DOES matter and there are all kinds of nuggets that lead you to believe hes at least gonna re sign a 1+1....contrary to false reporting he actually does want that supermax and he'd have to re sign for 2 to get it...unfortunately some ppl dont want to believe he just wanted out of San Antonio...

It dont work like that....We won 59 games traded Demar for Kawhi and are going to finish with less wins...They look good cuz there playing for nothing,I remember between 2011-2013 we looked good in spurts when the season was over,its meaningless...what can you do when the games matter and i have doubts JV can be 20/10 player on a winning team as a No 1 or 2 option....He will always be a spot minutes guy on a winner or a dominant player on a losing team...

Hes got 22/8 tonight but hes a -13 in 24 mins that will always keep him from being a true front line player...

I watched the game as well. JV just has a green light to shoot. He's the second best player on the team, where else will they get offense from?

He's just in a good situation, but the Defense is still shaky. Like he'll put up 27 points but give up 12 uncontested points.

Down the stretch of that game he was bad on D they couldnt get stops cuz he kept leaving Boogie open or missing a rotation...Despite 27/12 he was a double digit minus....

There was a sequence where they had to bring help for Cousins and wound up giving up a wide open KLay jumper so it is what it is...the offensive bump is nice he stil cannot play 35+ on a winning team cuz his defense will kill you...

The old adage goes somebody has to score on a losing team...

I dont relate Gasols production to JV to me thats a simpleton way of looking at it,Id like Gasol to be more aggressive esp on the block but even when he doesnt score id rather have him than Jonas and he fits this team better than Jonas does...When he doesnt score he still gives you other things that are valuable,his playmaking is and vision are elite and hes a much better defender...When JV doesnt score hes useless...
