I’m watching a full lakers game now. Trying to get a read on THT
Melojazzkiller team? I heard he paid him billionsWhere is Carmelo playing this year? Has he signed anywhere?
THT is not a terrible player. He was just playing really well and then went into a bit of a slump. Unfortunately we kept our vets and are trying to win games so Hardy isn't allowing guys to play out of their funks with heavy minutes. Lucky for us Conley got injured so that Sexton was forced into heavy minutes which helped him to get out of his slump. Now THT is in a slump and NAW has been playing well. Unfortunately when Conley gets back we are going to have an even larger minutes crunch which gets in the way of actually developing these guys. We really need this team to continue losing for the next month so Ainge has a better excuse to dump Clarkson, Olynyk and hopefully Conley. As of now we just have too many guys that need minutes to develop and go through growing pains. During the second half of the season I think this is the ideal minutes rotation to see what we actually have with some of these guys.Looking back at this trade it was a swap of terrible players except one has an expiring contact and one has a player option at the end of the year.
Perhaps Fat Boy Barbecue will have a fire lit under him after getting to enjoy NAW's accomodations in the kennel club.Looking back at this trade it was a swap of terrible players except one has an expiring contact and one has a player option at the end of the year.
No Clarkson? Did he get traded and I missed it?THT is not a terrible player. He was just playing really well and then went into a bit of a slump.

I think that is enough minutes for everyone to develop and see if they could be long term pieces while likely losing a lot of games. Add in injuries and we see some guys get even heavier minutes to see what they can do.
Yeah he went full tank speculation on that post, traded all vets and recommended those player development rotations.No Clarkson? Did he get traded and I missed it?
Gotcha.Yeah he went full tank speculation on that post, traded all vets and recommended those player development rotations.
In that scenario Clarkson, Conley and Olynyk are moved. Of all the guys Clarkson is the guy that should most likely be traded with his current level of play and the size of his contract. I bet there are at least 5 teams that would view him has the missing piece to make a legit championship run. It sucks that next year he has a player option rather than a team option because that does hurt his value. For me it isn't worth the risk to let him walk for nothing next offseason and if we were to re-sign him I think it could take something in the 4yr 80-100 mil range based on his current level of play.No Clarkson?
