BG dominated for the pistons. Dot coming out party?

Missed the game, but Mudiay really had one of the most striking turn arounds I can recall of a player over the last few games. Maybe Lin is the only one that stands out more, as it was also over a longer stretch.

No one with any semblance of sanity expected him to contribute much this season and I feel like a week or so ago was expected to be a likely candidate to be cut so Trier can stay on the roster.

Doubling down on idiocy

Can you explain, please?

I think there was zero chance Mud was a waiver candidate and I think that's what got the impolite response.
Baker or Kornet were clearly of less importance to the team.

Otherwise, even a long-time Mud skeptic such as Bo thought Mud could contribute and improve this year.  I just think he has a ton to work on: judgment, shooting, defense, finishing -- and I don't think he's a genuine PG. But the guy has size, athleticism and flashes good passing on occasion.  Some of what he needed was merely better conditioning, more confidence and more experience.  Besides Fizz let it be known this was a development year, said he was committed to getting Mud right, and PG minutes have been up for grabs with both Burke and Franc playing well at times and struggling others.  Mud has already made some improvement in all the areas I listed.  Still much work to be done.

I just wouldn't get too up when Mud strings together a few good performances, just as I wouldn't get too down when Mud slumps.  He's young and learning and like most yute is far from exhibiting consistency.  Mud like Franc and Knox and Vonleh (and Subpar Mario) is a work in progress.  Development.

There's a Center glut while teams are using a C less.

Stan John always looks good to me.
DET bench outbenching ours.

Yep

Absolute NOTHING games from our 3 kids

It will happen...

Pierre has always been a very talented player.

Lavine is still more impressive to me among the smaller heavily paid SGs.

That's a disgusting comment, Fac. I just vomited in my mouth.

You never want to make any moves shaman.

But then, I would appear have very little influence over Scott & Steve.

With the Wizards on the verge of holding a fire sale Scott $ Steve are in a position to decide if we want to use next summer's cap space now.  I submit Bradley Beal is worth the squeeze.  That is all.

Again, the notion of Beal for two expirings is self-evidently a no-brainer. It significantly increases our chances of getting Durant, because KP/Beal plus a bevy of intriguing yutes (Mitch, Trier, Knox, Franc, Dot, Vonleh, Burke could all conceivably be retained, plus presumably our pick) is going to be a core that demands attention.

The argument that Mudiay and Kanter are currently starting is completely specious. They are nice players, but KP is next year's starting 5. Post surgery and in a league trending small, there should be no debate where his natural position is. So don't view Kanter as a starting 5, at least not ours. As for Mudiay, it would be better to keep him than not, but in this fantasy deal (which would cost us at a minimum a top-8 protected 1st as well), Mudiay is part of the price. You live with Burke or Franc or see if Dinwiddie is coming over, or maybe try to flip some guys for Rubio in a sign-and-trade. Point is, you make the move.

As for Timmy Jr, he gets traded to make room for KD. You break up a 25-win team for the likes of Durant, no matter how excited you are about your young guys.

The only problem with the deal is that it's too good to be true. But it's silly to suggest, today, it's too high a price to pay.

I think Allonzo can play point.  You have to let him try Coach.  You've given everyone else a chance.

He's a good shooting guard. Why mess with that?

[thebizneverloses]

Gotta do something about Trier by December 8 or send him down till it’s sorted out.

He might could get benefit from the Mike Miller pg clinic for a week or two while FA’s become tradeable.

He should go down to Westchester for a week so that at the very least we don't have to make a decision until Dec 15th when players who signed contracts in the offseason are eligible to be traded.

This is a pretty good idea, actually.

Interesting about how CHA changed his shooting mechanics.

As for the team he's on:

Charlotte turned four top-nine picks into Kidd-Gilchrist, Cody Zeller, Bismack Biyombo and Frank Kaminsky. A fifth, Noah Vonleh, became Nicolas Batum

They also drafted Monk #11 when Donovan Mitchell was there at #13.

He's too small to guard SGs.  He has the right aptitude for the modern PG.

[thebizneverloses]

I don't think he has the vision.

As for size - he's the exact same height and weight as Bradley Beal.

Same weight and one inch shorter than Timmy Hardaway Jr.
