Something is really wrong with him.

At least 2-3 times tonight he's had good passes and open looks and can't knock them down.

I'm really worried.

One dimensional player. If he's not hitting his 3 on a consistent player we need to look to move him.

I could see if he was missing contested 3s but he's been missing wide the frick open shots.

Defensive liability who does his one job poorly in half his games. Will always love him, though.

He was bad last year too. Played the key role in making our defense terrible. Injury didn't stop him from picking up right where he left off.

I was down for using him to dump Gordon at the start of the season. More into it now.

Not sure his value is any higher now than to start of this season coming off the injury.

Honestly I'd rather have EG around than ryno right now.

Something is really not right with ryno. I'll always have huge respect for him but he doesn't have it.

I'd kind of rather EG than Reke. We need to let AD and Jrue run the offense with our wings playing good defense and hitting 3's at a 36-38% rate. EG has proven that he can do that.

Maybe this board overhyped him to begin with?

He is a cool guy that is certainly a decent NBA talent, but he is certainly not above reproach. He was supposed to be an energy guy with an awesome shot, and he seema to only be able to bring that 50% of the time.

Straight up for Batum? Saves them some cap the next two seasons.

Batum would be great but he's struggled too.

Not to say I wouldn't take him as he's an upgrade for sure defensively on the wing.

His skill set is good but he plays the wrong position for it and he's not on a team full of good defenders. His bad defense + being a 4 really hurts since he either forces Davis to the bench or forces Davis to guard 5s.

Tbh I kinda hope we can deal him for a 3&D SF soon. He's probably still a good trade chip (although obviously not as good as he was pre-injury) so I don't think it'd be impossible to get something decent back

Been on the wagon. Great player and I'll always love him as a pelican, but he needs to be moved for an asset that can help this team. He's not needed, he's just an extra piece that is a luxury

When he's bricking, we lose. When he's hitting, we win.Simplest equation in the NBA.

Lol

He has a bad stretch now everyone wants to trade him and he's not needed. He's the only legit shooter on this team

Any shooter will go through slumps. Kevin Love just had a few games scoring >10 points.

If you want to trade him to get better, fine. If you think you are dumping him bc he's a liability to this team, you are nuts

How long is a slump to you.

His last 10 games he's shot 34 percent. Over 40 3 times. Go back through the whole season and it's too up and down for a player shooting his volume of shots.

To me a slump isn't broken because of one random game followed by another string of sub par shooting. His defensive liability makes it worse and let's not start on the lineups with him are impossible.

It's a double edged sword and we're getting cut more often than not.

I'm dumping him for a position of need, a 3&D sf. Dumping him for nothing is out of the questions
