If you gave me the choice of Rubio or Exum for the next 5 years, I take Exum without hesitation.

He has not shown that he can run half court offense yet. Rubio is in shooting slump but he knows how to run the team at least. Exum in starting unit may work only if we let Donovan to play PG.

Exactly what I would do. Rubio is used to playing with the ball in his hands. He's is sharply regressing. Exum is still raw, but his defense is better than Ricky's already. And, most importantly, I want Mitchell to control the offense more.

I'm close to tank the eff out of this B mode... @infection I need your unwavering confidence... where are you?

I'm not sure it's unwavering confidence as much as being detached from emotion. Last year all signs pointed to us not finishing anywhere near the bottom, so I stuck with that. This year has been frustrated as a lot of what we do good has to do with rhythm, and playing only 5 preseason games, with only two of them against real NBA teams, doesn't give you much time to get into the swing of things before the games count. Having a rough beginning schedule prevents that groove. I think a worst-case scenario is we are middle of the fray. We have a higher ceiling than that, though.

I've come to accept that the FO is going to do what they do and to not get too involved emotionally regarding that. I think we kept the team together to try to re-experience that magic and sold the hashtag of team is everything... except we cut Jonas, an end of bench guy who kind of epitomized the type of attitude that represented that team. I guess it's only fitting that he hits the basket that ushers in the era of the Bear curse. I see the same struggles that I wanted to give up on last year (the offensive issues with Favors and Ricky), but have resigned myself to just liking these guys personally and leave it to the front office if they don't value floor spacers who are there for the taking. Anyway, there's a lot of feel-good-ness that I can't fault, but what we've done is simply kick the can forward on making personnel decisions, and soon we're going to have to make a lot of those decisions that we've been delaying. If we believed all that stuff, we shouldn't have cut Jonas. At least we'd have another W.

Niang doe... guess they could have cut Thabo.

I really like Jonas and it hurts me to see him with the Warriors, but I'm glad he seems happy. That guy plays his *** off.

We didn't need to cut Thabo, either. You know, there's actually this guy on the roster whose been occupying a roster spot that, at best, plays 15 minutes a night for us (and yet has never done that).

But it is kinda funny. Bringing back a team for chemistry, but waiving the dude whose (best?) friend is on the team and just bought a house next door to him.

Oh.... that guy.... I've shared my thoughts on that pick... was too early to give up on him. Also, Jonas likely wanted to play... I mean there is another guy we could have let walk in FA and played Jonas some.

Not sure if Bradley has or had any trade value at all but yeah we could have done that too. You'll see someday Tony will be mediocre backup center option... just have to wait a year or two.

That is a recipe for mediocrity.
