Well I said he’s a turnstile on defense and can’t be the 3rd best player on a championship team… mostly because he’s a one way player, and his offense isn’t THAT great.Probably should have slighted AR as well.

Austin been avg 17, 5 and 5 this month on 49 and 41%. I can give him a pass for the defense. Dudes like DLo, Vando, Rui, Gabe when he played, Cam are the problems. They don't do NOTHING.
How many championship level teams can you give your 3rd best player a pass for being a liability on defense?Austin been avg 17, 5 and 5 this month on 49 and 41%. I can give him a pass for the defense. Dudes like DLo, Vando, Rui, Gabe when he played, Cam are the problems. They don't do NOTHING.
I think they could win with that combination of 4 players but would need to completely overhaul the supporting cast around them. And AR/DLo isn’t a playable postseason combination.I honestly think they could win it with AD / Bron / AR / DLo. Not lying, not being overly optimistic.
They are just making some dumb decisions elsewhere. Honestly, everywhere, and it’s clear that Ham has lost everybody at this point. But it started on draft night and has continued since.

You could argue that KCP was the 3rd best Laker during their championship playoff run… last year Gordon arguably was Denver’s 3rd best player.
I think people like the shooting and big shots that Austin has had in the past, but the defense can not be overlooked. Let’s say Chi called and offered Caruso straight up for AR, who says no?

Boston - Holiday and White both strap up (pause)Look at the top teams how many of their guards are really playing defense? Across the league these guards are horrible on defense. A lot of these games come down to who's hot and who's not. I personally hate it cuz I love defense but that's the era we in.
That's it, man. Love the guy, but that's it.Austin is a solid role player… but if he’s your 3rd best player, then your team isn’t very good.
yessssir patheticThis team ain't it.
Happy new year.
I think that’s the reasoning behind bringing him off the bench… let him have his own unit to run, establish some type of rhythm and then of course close the game with the starters.I love AR but I do agree that he cannot be the 3rd star on a contender, atleast at this point of his career. I see him more as a nice spark off the bench, steadying the game while the big boys are resting. Itd be a luxury to be able to keep him after retooling our roster.
Name 1 role player on this team known for their consistent play… Wood, Cam, and Hayes are all basically minimum contract players. And in an era where being a legit 3 & D wing can pretty much earn you a max contract, Prince signed for what? A few mil over the min? Vando how many teams in x number of years? And the Wizards basically gave Rui away instead of giving him a second contract.lineups, rotations, timeouts have been bad and those inconsistencies effect the rotation players negatively (don’t know when or how much your playing on a given night)
So since players are inconsistent, just change their role and lineup every week?Name 1 role player on this team known for their consistent play… Wood, Cam, and Hayes are all basically minimum contract players.
