Pau Gasol as a FA?

How about we sign someone that can shoot? Or a legit starting NBA pg? Mack has been a pleasant surprise but I'd still like to upgrade this position.

I don't believe in granting anyone automatic playing time. Let them ****ing earn it. If Favs and Rudy don't bring it, bench their sorry asses.

It's comical how some of you worry about playing time. Ever heard of injuries? Every team has them. If we had had another wing worth ****, Utah might be sitting in 5th right now. And the same thing with another big to play when Favors or Gobert go down.

When everyone is healthy, you just cut back on mins, or rest a player on the second night of a back- to-back. Look at the better teams: they all have depth. Utah has **** - all because DL is a cheap *** who wanted to keep Utah with the 28th payroll...again!

No ****, Sherlock, injuries happen, and we shouldn't hand anyone automatic PT but do you really think Gasol is gonna sign here, knowing Favors and Gobert are pretty damn firmly entrenched? Knowing we also have Lyles off the bench? Perhaps more importantly, do you really think it makes sense to get a guy for two years when we have ZERO ****ing shot at winning it all the next two years and in doing so cut into valuable time that guys like Lyles needs to develop? And we don't have depth because Exum, Burks and at other points, Favors, Rudy, Hood and Hayward have missed games. What do you want, that we go 12 deep with legit fringe starting NBA talent?

Seriously, drink some cranberry juice. Think things through. Do some ****ing thing.

Please don't go drama queen on us again. Optimistic Stifle is so much better. You and others who are freaking out right now are overreacting to one game. Yeah, it sucked, but "Next." Our focus should still be on our final three games and then the playoffs. After we've collected all that information it will be time to discuss constructing next year's team.

I think we can beat a team of scrubs. We just didn't that night. Do you think if we played them again we would lose again?

Do you think the Lakers and timberwolves are better than the warriors? (Memphis almost beat gs too)

Do you think the thunder are two points better than those same clippers scrubs?

Judging how good the jazz are based off one poor game is stupid and you know it.

This.
People think that we should have 5 starting caliber bigs, 4 starting caliber wings, and 3 starting caliber point guards or something.

Like that is what all the other teams are doing and it's super easy to do.
 
The thunder lost to the kings last night. They should add harden to play behind durant and get chris paul to back up westbrook, then they might be good enough to beat the kings.

You and Cunning Linguist must be huffing the same glue this morning.... while worrying about the stupid bets you placed.

You don't think the thunder should get harden to back up durant and cp3 to back up westbrook?
Why not? They would be so good bro.

So, you don't belive in player development?

Who knows where Burks and Favors would have been without having to contend with such a clogged rotation.

Even w/ Enes' defensive shortcomings, we could've netted a lot more than nothing for him had we played, developed, and showcased him. A short blip of PT on the Thunder last year earned him a max, defensive deficiencies and all.

Playing time for young players is crucial.

Pau is on a loaded team now, and they aren't very good.
