Around the NBA - Dec. 2016

[KingSpeed]

Just for tonight, then we ship him back to DAL where he can continue to shoot .381 FG% for the season.

So, you want to start him in place of C.J., or bring him off the bench to take Crabbe's minutes? Do you think Wes would be cool with the demotion after he worked so hard to come back from his injury?

BNM

CRabbe for Wes. Bring Wes off pine.

 

[Nate]

Chauncey said he wants to see CJ get his own team. I hear Sacramento is great this time of the year

 

[Strenuus]

CRabbe for Wes. Bring Wes off pine.

lol. You didn't even answer his question... actually, you did, but comically.

I missed that. What did he say exactly?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

CRabbe for Wes. Bring Wes off pine.

I think there'd be a lot of SUPER smallball with Lillard, CJ, Wes playing together. If you had those three you could probably play two non-shooters in Ed and Plumlee.

But I dunno if Olshey and Wes could patch things up.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I didn't realize until today that LaVine is averaging 20 ppg. Wolves have 3 guys scoring over 20 a game... crazy.

I can't remember. Just that he wants to see him get his own team to run.

Oh... and they are all under 22 years old. May god have mercy on our souls.

And yet they still suck.

Their defense must be as bad as ours...

Wait til they come up for contract extensions.

Also... any updates on your rumors from last week?

All quiet on that front right now...I'll try and push for some new info next time I've got a chance.

I will say, and this is just my opinion--nothing I've heard, this is a crucial part of our season. I know our schedule has been rough and we have been integrating new players but it's nearing the put up or shut up time of the season. If we can sustain our play from the last two games going forward I truly doubt we make a move. But if we slip up again and go on another small slump I think NO and the front office will be forced to address the frontcourt.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

And yet they still suck.

For now.

 

[e_blazer]

For now.

Yeah, if they can keep that talent together and avoid the injury bug, they're going to be tough in a couple years.

I want to get Bogut and Wes. I wonder if Nowitzki saying' he's going to retire sooner than he planned changes anything.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I do not want any part of getting Wes back. I don't care how well he is shooting at the moment, we need guards with handles. Come playoff time when the defensive pressure is increased, it becomes more important. Sure he would be a good role player off the bench, but we have those already.

What about his D?

Oh poor Brolo

We have three of them on massive contracts already. How many do we need?

What we NEED is guards who can actually defend a chair. Wes could even defend one on rollers.

Here's a Woj interview that talks about lots of things at interest, in particular:
Portland "having lots of assets"
Nerlens Noel having lots of red flags
Brook Lopez

It's the coach/players protest to NBA scheduling IMHO.

Memphis rested Gasol last game, so payback?

 

[KingSpeed]

Keeping Cousins rested for deep title run?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

They're keeping him out so he doesn't get traded before the 15th.

Did he recently get that back too? Because the last time I watched him he could not stay in front of anyone

I think your right. This can't be good tho.. it's fucked up for fans.. they should atleast rest them during their home games
