@KevinSmith18481 @MATTFiNGAZ That’s ok, its not like we’d be playoff bound with our current roster. Our future depends heavily on the development of MBJ & Egor.

Egor specifically needs to be featured way more next season. Dont see how thats possible with presumably 3 other high usage players

[Rick W @RickW05]

@JfromBk @SAINTNET1 I’d argue he’s been competing against Claxton for the starting job and won

Team chose Sharpe over Claxton. Now they’re giving him a chance to prove them right or wrong

He’ll have this year to prove it and if not, they’ll go after a starting center

[Rick W @RickW05]

@KevinSmith18481 @MATTFiNGAZ If MPJ is willing to take a team friendly contract and take a backseat to Randle, MBJ, and Egor I’m all for keeping him around

If not, I rather move on from him now while his value is at his highest

[Rick W @RickW05]

@GoneInSP @MATTFiNGAZ Fair. If he’s willing to take $30/yr & play the role he played in Denver than I think he’d be good for the rooks

We need Egor & MPJ to switch the roles they played last season. MBJ needs to be an alpha

You think MPJ is ok with being 4th option?

[Rick W @RickW05]

@TonezSports Crushing it man. Keep it up

[Rick W @RickW05]

@GoneInSP @MATTFiNGAZ Right now our starting lineup is liking a defense presence. Swapping MPJ for a low usage defensive wing would help develop the young guys on that end

[Rick W @RickW05]

@GoneInSP @MATTFiNGAZ MPJ didnt proudly get the name “Never Swing the Rock” for no reason

Its about not having guys like Egor be the 4th option. Forcing him into an alpha mentality

Randle being the hub is enough to help young guys grow on offense

[Rick W @RickW05]

@MATTFiNGAZ Also swapping MPJ for a more defensive presence in the starting lineup should help our core future guys grow more on that wnd

[Rick W @RickW05]

@MATTFiNGAZ Yep. Maybe its possible l w/ MPJ but I think itll be easier for Egor & MBJ to take more of an alpha role on offense w/ only Randle on the court

Last yr it felt everyone deferred to MPJ which was fine for their rookie years but not this yr

[Rick W @RickW05]

@BillyReinhardt @BobSacamano_5 ….welp

[Rick W @RickW05]

@BillyReinhardt @BobSacamano_5 I meant 1 1st and a ton of 2nds

Just trying to find a wing that will make this starting 5 not a joke on defense

[Rick W @RickW05]

@TonezSports @LegionHoops 0 pts. This is how my mens league is played. Which is where it should stay, not in a NBA setting haha

[Rick W @RickW05]

@JacManuell Wondering if we can throw a 1st and 2nds to Houston to not match an Eason contract. Same idea for Watson

[Rick W @RickW05]

@BillyReinhardt @BobSacamano_5 What about offering Rockets picks to not match a Tari Eason offer sheet?

[Bob Sacamano @BobSacamano_5]

Team is only going to get better by taking some swings and chances in trades and the truth is the team has the flexibility to do that because it has so many picks! They cannot keep adding 2-3 rookies every single year. It leads to the rookies they already have not developing.

[Bob Sacamano @BobSacamano_5]

I understand we have no incentive to tank, but the goal for this year and next year should be to add real players that will be on this team in 4, 5 years. That is what makes Trey Murphy or even Santi Aldama appealing. They are good young players that can grow with the rookies

[Rick W @RickW05]

@TonezSports Having all these picks gives us the luxury to go out and get the guys we want

[Rick W @RickW05]

@TonezSports What’re we going to do with the 4 1sts we have the next 2 years?

We can’t possibly bring in more rookies without giving up on a few of the young guys we have now

[Rick W @RickW05]

@brooklynnets85 Fucking pumped to listen to how its important to keep force feeding MPJ in spite of development to get the best package for him at trade deadline then offseason then 2028 deadline and so on
