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.


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.

Trading Reke really worries me. Jrue is a solid PG, but he doesn't apply pressure on other teams. Reke applies serious pressure and has to be accounted for. The NBA is all about match-ups, and he is a match-up nightmare.

Get rid of the terrible F'ing coach, not the player who could help vault you to the next damn level.

ETA: Reke needs to be coached up and/or deployed correctly. End of story.

I'm with you on that bruh. I'd like to see this core stay together for a while before we just blow everything up.

You are right that continuity is important, but my issues with Tyreke are about fit. If he can play team ball he can start. If he can't he should play with the 2nd unit, but you already have Ryno in that role and you can't afford 2 highly paid 6th men, so if both are 6th men only then you have to choose and I choose Ryno unless I have a reason to doubt his shot will return.
