I'm trying not to get too excited about Harry because for him to receive consistent minutes one of two things must happen:

1.) Injuries

2.) He thoroughly outplays two other guys ahead of him AND the team is playing bad enough for Stotts to warrant a change.

Neither scenario is a good one for the team.

Disagree.

He can easily outplay Kanter for minutes, as happened in Boston.

Or Giles can be better in those matchups that don't have a plodding center.

Maybe he gets time at PF with others sliding to SF.

Stotts is making the decisions.

pretty sure Tunchi is before your time and had more posts deleted than were not. Curious how you would know about him?

Dude just told on himself. He has said over and over again that he doesn't know who Tunchi is. Now he's all "Not crazy like Tunchi".
Don't fall for it. That is Tunchi.

it happened last night.
Who started the game?

who started the second half?

To be fair, a different CJ also started the 2nd half. I think it was less Giles "earning" that 2nd half start, and more Stotts trying out different groupings.

i thought about that. But then i thought kanter is our backup and so maybe he should have started the second half since it was more of the lineup he would be playing with.

So im not so sure it wasnt a combo?

i think Stotts might have quickly seen that giles might move up to backup and send kanter to the end of the bench for most games.

Huh I thought the OP was? Anyways I’m just making a joke because I always get accuse of being him. Apparently he was before my time..

Ill say this. I wouldnt be opposed to trading cj with how the team roster looks. But not trade to just trade. It has to improve the team. CJ does make us better even with his flaws.
He is still our best shot creator one on one. Or one on five even. Lol.

There is this guy named Damian Lillard that just might be our best shot creator in every instance including iso. CJ gets buckets but if you need to give someone the ball at the end of the game and clear everyone else out to put that guy one on one with his defender who would that be? Not CJ... it would be Dame every time.

Most of the time, but I don't know about every time.
Dame is much better at getting to the hole and is pretty much a better 3 pt clutch shooter than anyone on the planet.
But let's say the opposition has a great rim protector and long perimeter defenders.......CJ is the better stop on a dime, pull-up, mid-range shooter. Again I usually want the ball in Dame's hands with the ball on the line, but I do remember a few times where I was yelling at the TV for CJ to get the last shot.

When on draft night we traded Harry Giles III and Justin Jackson jr for Zach Collins i knew we screwed up, how in hell can you trade a player who was projected #1 overall out of High School for another white american big?

After years of evidence that Collins isn't anything special Harry Giles showed more in 20 minutes than Collins did in an entire career.

AND NOW WHAT? we're gonna lose him for NOTHING because he will demand a lot of money after this season.

The same can be said for Gary Trent, at the end of the season we are going to lose Trent and Giles because in the eyes of Olshey McCollum is Michael Jordan and Collins is Bill Walton.

That really bothers me because both Trent and Giles plays hard on both ends of the floor and i'm tired of one-dimensional players.

"Giles appeared in 104 games with the Kings over two seasons. He holds a career averages of 7.0 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. On Friday, he notched 18 points and 14 rebounds in 25 minutes of action."

...in a preseason game against the Kings who are terrible and his former team. He's a gifted player but I'm not getting too excited.
 
His only concern is his knees having an expiration date like Amare’s did - poof went his athleticism.

From the day they were signed, we all knew there was a very real possibility that Jones and Giles were one year rentals. That's the way the NBA works. We also knew Giles might get hurt and be no help to us. What's the point in getting upset with someone for bringing it up?

What?
I'm saying that he didn't dominate in Sac, they gave up on him, and trading the #20 pick obviously isn't an "Olshey disaster."

Every time, except for Game 7 of a WCSF series where Dame is struggling and CJ is hot...
