Yep, and we'd have won by 20 easily if neither Niang nor Favs played

Nah... but if we got the performances they did from Batum and they got the bum performances then sure.

kennard, Batum, Mann, Zubac have all contributed a ton... please no one here tell me the 10/11th men don’t matter next year... they do. Also don’t tell me buyout guys don’t matter Jackson was a buyout guy last year... Batum this year. Without those guys we are 3-2 or maybe the series is over.

Yep. We just let Rose go last year. Literally paid him to leave.

Yet I’m a teenage girl for noticing some social media strife... if Rudy says that it’s primarily on him to set the tone there.

That was like 3 years ago... maybe more.

You're right. I'm tired. He could have helped back then, but yeah, that was a while back. I get my Cav trades mixed up sometimes.

Forget about Oni. Torrey Craig is his ceiling. Why even bother investing in guys like him when we can just go and grab Torrey Craig right off the bat.

Same argument about Niang,Thomas, Forrest. All these guys take years to develop and the return is so low that it's pointless. Like how this organization treats Royce as the golden boy for their player scouting/development when guys exactly like Royce literally come out ever year.

To win it all we can't only have one “Royce.” We need to get a bunch of “Royces” and we need them fast. Can't afford to keep goofing around wasting our precious time on those development projects.

And again... we keep bitching about not having defenders and tough guys... Torrey Craig was traded to the Suns for cash considerations. He shoots it well enough... would be our second best perimeter defender... rebounds really well. Just asinine we said Niang and Oni are enough.

Not more athletic. Brains are a particularly important part of athletes... Mann ain’t scurrrrd. Oni is shifting himself.

I don't think Oni played bad. Quin put him on Beverley and he helped cut off lanes and I think he played positively on defense. Nail defense is becoming important and he fits the description.

The ball didn't come his way on offense but he needs to do something on that end. I am getting some Exum vibes.

The ball didn’t come his way for a reason. Oni just kinda bought us some minutes... that’s cute... clips dudes actively did huge things that got them a win. Oni gets a pay on the head for being invisible... which is better than Favs and Niang.

Conley being out has been a double whammy. Him coming back would effectively kick Oni out of the rotation.
