    Lessons from Preseason

    I am all for getting assets for either, or even just ending contracts, if the team is looking bad with them. However, if the team is looking bad, then more than likely they are also playing poorly. So any decent trade may be difficult. It's not like they didn't try trading Grant before. So...

    Lessons from Preseason

    Sly, I don't see how trading Grant would help the young guys develop. At that position, we are only talking about Deni and Tou. They are already nursing minor injuries, so more minutes will not help. I think Grant complements them. At least the Jerami from last night. Before we moved Ayton...

    Yeah, I am hoping for either Jrue or Scoot to have a "decent" game each night and either Grant or Tou.

    Hard to say without Scoot and Tou not playing much. In basketball, a couple of missing players can make a big difference. Did Scoot really improve over the summer like CB thinks? If he did, then he would help in a few weeks. The Lakers are 1-4 in the preseason and looked bad doing so. Are they...

    We are OK depthwise defensively, but certainly not offensively, despite last night. I think we can go 10 deep if healthy. Jrue, Scoot Shae, Thybulle Camara- Murray Deni- Grant Clingan-Hansen After that, it leaves Williams (who is never healthy but who is good), Duop, Wesley, Siddy, and Rupert.

    Thank you, I appreciate the effort, even if it is two days late and the wrong game.

    Interesting that, as bad as Grant shot against the Warriors, he was a +21. Shae was a +16, and Deni was a +2, while everyone else had a minus number. Usually, I would say those numbers don't mean shit, but nonetheless, it is interesting. Edit: Against the Kings, he also led the team with a +12

    It seems to me like they have. But yes, it wouldn't hurt to do more of it. I am sure they will

    I think the only way is to sneak up on them. And beating them in the preseason would not help.....when we play them in game 2

    I like Murray. He is a solid player to have on your bench, especially playing with the starters. Glad they did n0t get rid of him. If only the 3 ball could improve...... Clingan looked a lot better tonight.

    The league and the ref should be embarrassed. (the traveling part) Standing right there and looking right at it. No excuse.

    Probably closer to José Feliciano, but a solid point.

    Yeah, Ace looks good. I wonder who he will end up playing for.
