All things said about Ingles including not an actual nba player yada yada yada. Look at his per 36 mins. He’s averaging 11 min a game. Hard to get in a rhythm within the offense and flow of a game playing that many minutes. Once he’s playing 20-25 min all his numbers will go up.

11 min? look at his last 13 games going back to Nov 25. He's averaging over 15 min and a lot of games he's close to 20 min.

I’m having a little trouble with the timing. No matter how you look at it, trading or waiving somebody 2 days before Christmas is cold as f. Just brutal.

I used to think this as well, until I was laid off from my previous job on December 22. They did it then because I was planning to use vacation time during the next week, so they figured it would be better to get it over with so they could pay me the vacation time instead of me using it and laying me off afterwards. I got to enjoy the holidays, and it was awesome!

In Green's case, it was nice that it was done in the city in which he lives and where his family is. Plus we are likely still paying him, so basically he gets the holidays off and can figure out the rest of his life in the new year. Not a bad deal!

I really liked Green the first couple of games with us, but it just hasn't worked out. Time for all to move on. I'll be interested to see how all these changes work out. I refuse to panic yet.

13.7 points per game (46% from the field and 42% from 3)
5.2 rebounds
1.3 assists
0.5 steals
0.4 blocks
1.7 turnovers
70% from the line on 1.3 attempts.

So like has been said before, the problem with niang is that he does one thing and one thing only. Shoot threes.
Doesn't rebound, doesn't defend, doesn't create, doesn't get to the line, isn't a screener.....
His list of good skills is a list of one. His list of bad attributes goes on and on.

And the one good skill is extremely easy to stop if the opponents ever get scared of niang going off (lol). Just stay by him and you render him useless for the most part.

He has 3 AST in his last 11 games. 3!

He has 10 AST the WHOLE SEASON. In 25 appearances.

I’m still having some trouble giving this positive spin. Green was not worse than Niang or Davis. We have **** for 4s and he was the closest thing we had to one. He had to have asked out. That’s bad.

And how is adding two combo guards an answer to this?

I don't think the combo guards are meant to be an answer for this. They are an answer to Conley's injury and Donovan's/Joe's heavy minutes.

The answer to our power forward problem is going to have to come from somewhere else. I am skeptical that more Niang and Brantley are going to be an improvement but that seems to be the gamble barring any additional moves.

The Conley trade totally screwed us. Imagine how good this team would be with adding Bogey and having Faves/Crowder off the bench.

IMHO you do not trade for a player like Conley to take the basketball out of his hands. Use him and Donovan properly and lots of things Will start to clinch.
This one thing is in Coach's court.

Full agreement except for the "asked out" part. If Green's demands were the impetus behind it, it only stands to reason that they would have negotiated a buy-out. Reports are that he walked with the full 2.5 mil.
