re: Can they get hyped for tonight?

How people can defend keeping Val is beyond me.
Objectively:
BI - negative defender
Z - obviously negative defender
CJ - obviously negative defender
Herb - all nba level defender
Val - negative defender
How are we supposed to win a championship with 1 positive defender.

Bottom line: JMO: I doubt the Pels consider Val to be part of their future. He'll be gone as soon as a decent opportunity presents itself. Pels are in desperate need for another "surprise" along the line of Herb.

Of what they have currently, I'd say they think that their best shot at another huge "surprise" is...Dyson Daniels. They have a far higher opinion on DD that nearly everybody else here. There was (& still is) hope for Trey but other than those 2...I think they believe our regular rotation players have pretty much topped out. (Except for Herb, of course) Herb is the real deal...& the key for the Pels, is whether or not DD might also end up being the real deal.

Let's just hope DD can come around...I'm optimistic.
