RJ tricked me

Been bad since he came back. Coincidentally, Randle has been playing better. I didn’t catch tonight, but RJ only played 24 min?

 

[Coupé It]

Yea Randle has been playing better and smarter. Have to give him his credit.

 

[Coupé It]

RJ is always going back and forth. That’s why I can never say he took a “leap”. I’ve seen this too much.

But he hasn’t been bad. As long as he’s content with knowing he’s the number 2 or 3 guy I think it’s okay.

 

[ballinsam23]

Missing those games kinda messed up with his rhythm. Not sure how true these migraine DNPs were either

 

[Coupé It]

This is way more troubling. But I’ll give Thibs credit here. He’s playing him less with each passing game instead of playing favorites.

 

[Mister Meaner]

RJ just hit a ruff patch & is still on his leap tour. The free throws & how he’s thinking the game are the proof I needed.

QG also young so I’m not alarmed as far as his long term success is concerned. His name has been mentioned on the trade circuit recently so that’s alarming.

I guess if it came down to he or Quick it depends on the player in return but ofc rite now keep & sign Quick if you can.

Idk cuz he looking for 25 per reportedly.

Out SF next year, just be patient guys

I actually wouldn't mind him on this team. Seems like he would fit the system.

 

[Mister Meaner]

I’m good on that *****

 

[njavier03]

yall cool with having a woman beater on this team?

I mean I still listen to Bad Boy records and RKelly, still watch Harvey Weinstein movies etc

 

[silverpsycho12]

I don’t know how I feel about this and who would we trade?

 

[ballinsam23]

Meh idk. Most likely wouldnt resign him

 

[paulminus]

Fournier and grimes that’s it.
Move RJ to the 2 and Derozan at the 3

seems fair IMO. Bulls get an expiring and a young "asset" (bum), and we get the rental. if he plays well, maybe he gets resigned for a modest contract due to his age. win win IMO. having grimes out there is like playing 4 v 5.

 

[ballinsam23]

What’s his catch and shoot #s? He doesn’t move well without the ball and we already have 3 guys who need the ball.

 

[biggie62]

Yes I’m not a fan of a demarr addition.

 

[njavier03]

i think Derozan being more skilled will create better ball movement and spacing. opposing teams know Grimes is just going to be camped out and doesnt even hit the 3 at a high rate. you'll have 4 capable scorers to defend and Mitch to grab any OR.

the caveat is if they can play well TOGETHER

i'm just all for either benching Grimes or trading him entirely. dude literally gives us nothing. its not even an opinion, its a fact.

 

[nick.]

DeRozan is interested in us, I don't think we'll be interested in him

 

[you go boy]

we already have rj, randle and brunson who handle the ball a lot especially the latter 2... then you mix in iq from the bench... just dont see how demar would work here...

That’s what the coach is for, how does Boston make Tatum and Brown work, how does the Mavs make Luka and Kyrie work, how did the Dubs make Klay, Steph and KD work, how did Miami make, Lebron, Wade and Bosh work, how did Cleveland make Lebron, Kyrie and Love work. They are professional players that sacrifice parts of their game to try and win a championship.

 

[8pm at msg]

Offensive work arounds are not Thibs strong suit at all, he barely has a functioning offense as is.

 

[njavier03]

Solve all of our problems by finally moving on from Thibs. He’s a good coach to change the culture, but isn’t the type that will lead a team to a championship.
