Patrick not being able to be 15 and 7ish athletic 2 way wing is what hurts moving forward committing to Coby/Giddey.

If we had Trey Murphy as a 3, we'd be cooking with Matas coming along and then adding an athletic rim running and rim protecting big...
Unlike Patrick Williams , the other two players are showing and improving, take away Patrick and actually put consistent talent at the three and itโ€™s a improvement, this not rocket science golden, Pat is only good for hitting a three every now and then

I don't think you understand my point. If they're putting that much money into the back court, they really need Pat to improve. I'm not worried about Matas, but I can admit that they will need to add more talent and a starting caliber 3 to really get things jump started... that's why I mentioned Murphy

If Pat JUST returns to December 2023 form, he will be back in the starting lineup. Just before his foot injury (there is a pattern like Lauri), he was coming alive and averaging a good number of rebounds. AKME signed this dude for 5 years. I don't think they are going to try to offload or bench him for the long haul.

Hopefully he justifies their faith because add a Dec 2023 version of him with Coby/Giddey/Matas/young center and Ayo off the bench and thats a damn squad.

I don't know about that bro. His opportunity to be a starter for this team may be over.

Yeah, they signed him to 5 years, yet they're starting Huerter instead because he just reads the game better and shoots off movement better. He's regressed to being content with only taking like 6 shots a night again too. It feels like he'll just be a well paid role playing bench guy.

I think the only way he gets back in the starting 5 moving forward is through injury.

They'll start Huerter/Lonzo/Ayo before Patrick because he hasn't earned the right to be ahead of those guys.

I have to kinda of laugh at Billy doing that interview on 670 and AK joining the broadcast mid game suddenly this week once they go on a streak ... to be fair to Billy he speaks after every game and is very detailed with his answers.

AK just popping up mid game on the broadcast to take a victory lap, nah, GTFOH :mjlol:

I'm pretty sure he lied when he was discussing what the organizations goals were coming into the season. During the broadcast he mentions that retaining their pick was one of them, that's something that they NEVER admitted to prior to the trade deadline.

first off, I agree that he seems full of shyt generally. On the topic of ensuring we kept our '25 1st rounder, it was widely reported by the beat writers coming into the season that they were focused on making sure we kept that pick. We all (rightfully) assumed that meant a strong tank plan would be enacted and we would draft 1-10, this dude AK flipped that narrative into landing a trade that gave us control of the pick back, but I dont believe for a second that even he expected us to go on a run and fall outside the top 10.

Thatโ€™s the problem, I DO understand what you saying , because Iโ€™m saying it will never happen, letโ€™s move on from the pat will experience, itโ€™s time to get a Murphy lite player etc, Williams a waste of thought at this point

For real, that pissed me off with AK. Stacey wasn't paying a second of attention that whole segment either :dead:
