Cam is too smooth. Get him back in the starting rotation. He’s a better fit next to Barrett. Both of them are still clearly figuring the game out and continuing chemistry never hurt.
An interesting lineup that is plausible now might’ve stopped the JB signing; Grimes-RJ-Cam-*Randle-Mitch. Grimes already a better passer than Alec the Great.
Last szn my attitude towards the JB signing wavered from want to not and then happy with it. He’s no doubt raised the level of play on this team. Part of me still wants him out the way
.
The team as a whole is still finding their chemistry. There have been a number of lineups trying to figure out best fits. Grimes wasn’t there to start but now everyone is coming back after some small injuries.
NY doesn’t know a proper rebuild with actual kids developing in their system. That **** takes time. Growing pains come with lots of Ls and not much winning; but the org/Thibs seem to think they can do both at the same time. The fans gonna complain either way so just telling them “we’re in it to win it” until they really are makes sense.
This roster as is still can get to 45 wins + ‘offs berth or play-in but there will obv be a better picture come Feb deadline time. RJ’s shot falling will have some say in that no doubt.
Julius, Evan and Immanuel for whatever they can haul. They don’t need anymore rotation guys at this time but someone in return could be worth the mins.
