I thought the same thing.

I think you guys are still used to those RJ below the rim whiffs at the rim. OG finishes like a real wing. 😤

It’s nice to have some athleticism on the court.

Deuce McSmartus.

Do we maybe still need a backup PF/C?
martin @ 1/9/2024 9:56 PM
Biggest dork ever! We love you OG

We might have to start adding Grimes and Deuce to what we got in the trade. These two have been balling.

Brunson/McBride
DDV/Grimes
Anunoby/Hart
Randle/Achiuwa
Hart/Achiuwa

DDV at SG. While it possible to upgrade here and try and get some positional size. Feels unnecessary. I’d give up real assets for Trey Murphy as my number 1 choice or Mikal Bridges as my 2, maybe Alex Caruso, but don’t really see anything but nominal increases otherwise.

McBride - Still developing. Like him in the second unit. Could upgrade here, but again, at what cost? I don’t really want a Marcus Smart or Jordan Clarkson over McBride.

Grimes - He’s still developing. Game needs to slow down a bit for him. Most likely place to upgrade in my opinion. But there aren’t really options that I like. Moving DDV here after adding a new starting SG.

Hart - No change.

PF - Achiuwa is a year away from being 2 years away. Needs fundamentals. Can rebound but that’s it. Seems like he has the body for this job, but I would take a swing on a backup here. Not a lot of viable options though that make sense. Not really in love with a Kuzma trade and I don’t think Kuzma sees himself as a backup. Kind of wasted with Randles minutes. My ideal is a 3/4/5 player in the mood of Tari Eason. Kelly Olynyk is probably the best available option here.

C - Just a placeholder until Robinson is back. Drummond could eat a few minutes.

Deuce making it less likely to get back up combo G /sixy

Hasn’t changed much then?

Best passing backup power forward we ever had.

Randle is channelling Dad Melo and I love it

Well based on this performance Brogdon wont cost a first
Panos @ 1/9/2024 11:00 PM
The only guy that did not play tonight was EF. Poor guy. I actually feel bad for him at this point.
Panos @ 1/9/2024 11:00 PM
Some notes from tonight:
- DDV has been awesome. I don't think enough has been said about how much his promotion to the SL has helped this team
- Deuce has solidified himself as a bonafide backup PG. Welcome!
- Arcidiacono is not an NBA player
- OG is the anti RJ
- Randle shows EwingsGlass he can pass with 8 assists
- Precious won't be a Knick next year

Ayton's stats have taken a hit. Is Portland's guard play that bad?

He seems disinterested to me - started out fine and quickly seem to fade into background &/or injury.

I love the skill & body but seems he may not love playing.
