There were legit reasons to not be happy with Tyreke despite putting up numbers. He's looked good the last several games, as in looking to pass and play team ball. If he's turned a corner in that regard then we might just make the playoffs. If not, let him pad stats all the way to the deadline and ship him out.

The key with Tyreke is for him to know when to be Good Reke and when to be Bad Reke. I know that sounds dumb, like when would you want Bad Reke. There are times. I dont want him coming down with 19 seconds on the shot clock and bullying his way to the rim while AD, Jrue, and Ryno look on. But if the ball movement has stagnated, get that ball to him. Let him make something happen. Im ok with him forcing it there.

I understand that there have been legitimate gripes about his play at times. But I just don't think we should make major roster changes every 6 months like some here think we should.

Everyone talks about wanting to be like the spurs. The Spurs have that "corporate knowledge" aspect on lock. Their core players have been there FOREVER. You're never gonna get that when year in and year out you have to give 1-2 starters a month or two to learn how to play on our team at the beginning of the season.

I'm not saying definitively that Reke has turned the corner and will continue to hit 70% of his shots at the rim, but I hate the sentiment that we gotta dump anyone not named AD who plays well for a 4+ games.
