Is Conley Ded?

Being "much better" you mean getting blown out by a Toronto team that just lost their best player over the summer by 40 at the half? We simply weren't that good even before Mike gets injuried. Him playing or not will not change the fact that we need one additional PF on this team who could provide the energy/physicality to compete with those teams that have strong forward lineups such as Lakers,clippers, Toronto etc

Mike was beginning to play well and so was the starting lineup.

No. Quin will think that it was good to get Joe back in a rhythm, and now he can go back to the bench with confidence. But it should still suck as bad as it already did. I’d gladly eat my words if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe a 5 game sample is enough for Quin to acknowledge that his game plan of Joe off the bench is wrong.

It seems pretty obvious Joe needs to play with better talent to be at his best. I don’t think you have to start him, you just need to shake up the minutes and line-up makeups a little to have him on the floor more with Rudy specifically. We’ll see. Tony seems to believe the way it looks when Mike gets back Quin will probably play with minutes to a point there won’t be much Mudiay backup.

we were 4-6 in those 10 games and we lost to Mem and Min both we later on managed to beat handily without him so don't blame the schedule.

And for the record, both AB and Hood averaged 14 and 16 a game for us respectively while playing much less minutes and taking much less shots than Conley. And don't even make me bring up Hill stats when he played for us. The only reason why people still defend him because we are stuck to his contract, now if you ask people there is a way to trade Conley do you think they wouldnt wanna do it?
 
People here think the starters are good(championship contending good?) and our bench sucks. But why does our bench suck? Does that have something to do with us paying a non superstar PG at 30 mil a year? Well at least I think so...

The reason our bench sucks is because DL valued Exum over Crowder and Korver, and over a whole host of other guys, but because DL got us Conley and Bojan, everyone wanted to give him a mulligan or wanted to believe in the Exum ‘special’ hype.

DL made a poor judgement by extending an injury prone player to a three year fully guaranteed contract. There is no argument against that. But what I'm saying is that his decision to go for an old, overpaid and injury prone PG is just as bad.
 
I was one of the very few that was against picking up Conley. His injury track record is very concerning. Especially for the amount of money he was getting. But what’s done is done. I just hope he can get healthy and turn it around.

And what I’m saying is that DL sent Korver and Crowder to Memphis instead of Exum. And had we tossed Exum into someone’s cap space this summer (people LULZed at the thought), then we could have signed some quality guys.

You mean like Ed Davis that is averaging 1.6 ppg and shooting 42% on free throws?
