Hopefully this kills the noise on here that he is down in the G-League pouting and playing poorly on defense on purpose. Maybe, just maybe, he is a young player and genuinely just sucks on defense right now. Let him get his reps in so he can grow his awareness and BBIQ. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear someone say he wasn't happy being down there. That claimed they had a source with college park. I don't think it's the happy being in the g league, but not excited about the bus rides and the hotel situation. G League is far from the NBA life. I think he needs to learn how to pick up his effort on the defense end, but the film is damning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, unlike baseball minor leagues, the home NBA team has no say so on any player EXCEPT their two 2 way players. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg01 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Haha, anybody see the end to that LAL/DAL game. Mavs, up 3 get the defensive stop. Then 2 Mavs fight over the rebound which squirts out to a laker who drills the 3 to send it to overtime. Haha.. And, if you think we're disappointing, get a load of the Lakers who are about to lose to the Loooka-less Mavs. Eep 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post marco102 Posted December 16, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Looks like OO will be returning soon. He looked solid on the defensive end for the Skyhawks. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes him to get integrated with the Hawks. Hopefully, he'll give us that defensive bump we've been missing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a younger, less shy version of Wright. Could we get either of them Portland boys for the low-low? I'm more than willing to deal our 1sts with some lite protection.

The OKC 2022 1st (lottery protected then 2 2nds) is what I'll willingly put on the table. Wright plus small filler (cough, cough - LOLomon) to match salaries. 7 minutes ago, kg01 said: Whaaaaat?

RedDawg#8 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I don't know where this belongs but I just have to say, I'm really lamenting not getting Anthony Edwards. The kid is a bonafide stud on and off the court. He would have been perfect next to Trae, both personality wise and as a secondary star. Heck, they would be 1a and 1b most nights. He is hilarious, and a natural in front of the cameras, which would have allowed Trae to be his more chill quiet self instead of the main face. Its all a fantasy at this point but I would have traded 2 of our young wings and the 6th pick to go up and grab him. Our back court would be set for life.

I was trying to tell you all since I saw him at USC a few years back, he’s that alpha like Trae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
