I have no idea what DJM gives this team other than poor shooting and turnovers.

Trey does 1 thing well. It’s an important skill . However, he will always be slow footed defender , poor rebounder , and just generally a step behind .

IMO he needs to be your 4th best player if your team will be any good .

This is pathetic, yet again. Can’t believe I’m still watching this crap.

These turnovers would get my 11 y/o son benched.

please convince me that a starting lineup of CJ, Murray, Herb, Trey and Missi is the worst starting lineup in the league. Wizards won tonight so right now we are in last place.

I think Trey can be a #3 it just depends on who the main two guys are.

This lineup on paper should be better than what it is. Team is broken

The only good thing about Willie was his defensive scheme and it's cooked. That's really been the issue. If Willie can't get them to defend, he's worthless.

They’ve quit on their coach, and don’t believe in him. It’s rather obvious.

Until Gayle gets rid of Lauscha, Griffin and Loomis I’ll have zero faith in her as an owner. Everyone is complacent.

I been saying that. Ownership needs to change outside of the obvious firing Willie and Griff.

Getting a new owner really isn’t in the cards at the moment though, unless the old lady croaked, and no I’m not asking for that to happen. Just pointing out selling a team doesn’t happen quickly.

I watch Whitmore, who goes 6'7, 230lbs. He's quick and powerful. He's not as talented as Zion. But he obviously super strong and plays a combination of 3/4. Nobody looks at him and thinks, "the guy needs to put on 30-50lbs of muscle to be a better player".

Yet, people do that all the time while defending Zion. He needs to be under 250lbs (really under 240). But, I bet they still play him, even if he's way over 270. I don't understand how they let him get away with it..

Zion needs to be 250…I’ve said it for years now .

On seperate note , Reed Sheppard is going to be a good player .

It’s a shame that awesome Trey dunk happened in this terrible game, and at probably the lowest point in the game, b/c it deserved a lot more celebration than it got.

Just because you listed their names doesn’t give it any credence that the lineup is talented.

Herb is the only one that would be starting on a contending team right now.

CJ is hitting the age wall, Murray will always be a guy that only finds himself on bad teams, Trey is one dimensional and that one dimension is nowhere near consistent enough and Missi has potential but is also still raw as frick.

ETA: And even if all of those guys were at their absolute best, the only player of those five you listed that can create his own shot and hit that shot at a decent clip is CJ. It's a five that is laden with a bunch of complementary pieces i.e. a recipe for shite offense.

Willie looked and sounded defeated in that presser.
I still want him fired asap, but I feel bad for him.

I feel bad for him because he's a symptom of the problem.

He's not the greatest coach. In fact, at his best, he's probably just mediocre, yet he gets 90% of the blame from the fans because it's easy as hell to blame the coach. The roster is more of a problem than him.

With that said, he needs to go as soon as the tank is completed.
