This Auburn defense is actually nasty.

Aub fans, when’s the last time yall had this good of defense?

Peavy doing what I haven’t seen Herb do in two years

I'm shocked noone has said this yet, but Boris Diaw.

Good point.

Why would we drag this on? What about this season has been fun? It's time to blow it up and build around two exciting rookies.

We need to totally clean house. Trade everyone except Fears, Queen and maybe Missi. Suck hard for the next 3-4 years. Take bad contracts for picks.


This is basically what I was getting at in a nutshell.

I'll never understand this theory. How is he more valuable than guys like Dillon Brooks or Thybulle? They are defensive specialists with limited offensive games. No matter how good your defense is, it's hard being a good starter averaging less than 10ppg. Who's giving a big package for Jones?


Thybulle cant do ANYTHING but defend. Herb has a decent handle and more offensive IQ.

He's also a better team player than Brooks, but I can't say that he's more valuable. For instance, Herb would have worked on the old Spurs teams, Brooks would not, IMO.
Thanks I hadn't heard.

The real path forward

This might hurt in the short term, but I believe our only step forward is complete rebuild around Fears and Queen. What does this mean?

1) Trade Zion. Fat (ish now), lazy, one dimensional offensively, defensive liability, and a bad (or at least doesnt move the needle) leader. You don't see other team leaders act so removed as Zion does. This kills team culture.

2) Trade Trey. Yes, this dude can SCORE. But as good as he is offensively, he's just as bad defensively. Bad defense + inability to handle the ball = overpaid. Trey is best as a spot up shooter, I wish he could add more Siakam style to his game, but I don't think it's there.

3) Trade Herb. He'd be a great compliment to both Fears and Queen and I think he's a great complimentary role player, but he doesn't fit the timeline. I also think he'd be one of our biggest assets in terms of a return.

4) Trade Poole for whatever you can get. Late first? Early second? Salary dump? Doesn't matter. Either take what you can, or let him expire.

The pieces don't fit. The team is terrible. There is currently no light at the end of the tunnel. Something must be done.

Legit question, how is it even possible to be so bad at defense?

I’ve never played organized basketball but how much of it is coaching vs effort?

I’ve never seen so many open shots given as this Pels team has given up this year
They’re holding Z and Poole out so they can trade them.

Building around Q, Fears, and Trey.

Trade Herb too and let Peavy take his minutes.

Made it 11 games this year

And I’m starting to ask myself, “am I just wasting my time watching these guys?”.

Still doesn’t feel like a team that enjoys being around each other, blow outs, lack of effort, shite players, no defense, and we’ve basically already played our way out of the play-in.

If it wasn’t for the rookies I’d be out already.

How long yall holding out?
They suffer along with the rest of us. And I love them for it.

Karlo is what we want Yves to be.

Somebody has to say it.

More minutes for Karlo!!!
Sure am glad we're exercising our due diligence about Willie's coaching abilities and not with hiring a GM.

Well run team we got here.
Trade back, shore up the interior of the Oline, get a good blocking TE, draft a FB in late rounds or FA.

Best help for a young QB is a good running game.

Rounds 1 and 2 (assuming we get another pick in here) should be spent on best defensive players available and drafting a WR

Bully is at least somewhat cute. UGA is just downright ugly.

Green doesn't like Matkovic. Never has. Always find a reason to sit him. Only plays him when he absolutely has to.


And it really pisses me off. Karlo has all the tools we’d want in a 5. He just needs minutes to work on rebounding and defense.

The energy he brings to our team is badly needed. Hes one of the few on our team that I legitimately feel like hes giving his all when hes out there.

Nobody better than Joel and AD. I will be upset when either of them leaves.
Just absolutely crazy that dumars thought this team was going to be competitive.

Can’t wait to hear the boos tonight.

First time I’ll be rooting against the Pels
