Agreed. We need the young players to keep developing and add more shooters. We were a play-in team with everyone healthy and no Willie to start the year.

If we win this game, we only have to go 6-5 over the last 11 games to cover my 30.5 win total bet. I will say I never thought that was even a chance until the last few weeks.

I think I see the strategy. We are leaving the Middle East from a military perspective, as we aren’t rebuilding bases. I don’t think we see a ground invasion, and I think we keep the pressure up another 4-6 weeks. Destroy as much as we can of their military and nuclear capabilities. The rest of the region needs to step up and help here. Then, we pivot to pulling out. What if Trump can say before the midterms he has removed us from the Middle East.

Literally gave the game to the Rockets. It’s shocking to watch how they didn’t call the foul on Murray by Thompson.
We are only 9 wins away from actually covering the total wins projection of 30.5. Crazy…..

He’s a sixth man, 25 minute a game guy to me. Provides offense.
Isn’t their first round pick this year going to the Rams?

His extension made no sense to me.
I hope we can just get something decent at this point. We can always cut him, but we aren’t getting real free agents… so some trade is best.

You have to maximize Trey’s value this trade season. He is worth way more as a 4th option, sixth man to a top-10 team than he is to us as a #2.

He can be a top-15 player, if he keeps developing his game. No guarantees obviously, but he has the skills, attitude, and defensive ability to get there. I can see him making some all-NBA teams in his career.

The story that makes the most sense is probably true. We have never paid the luxury tax, even in seasons where we were at 50 wins. Maybe going “all in” then could have gotten us a first round series win, or even a conference finals. Given that background, saving the $$$ by letting this season run out makes the most sense. It’s stupid and shows a complete lack of commitment…. but it fits the pattern. May this team be sold to someone that is committed to winning and wants to keep it in NOLA.
It’s the general lack of ball movement when he is out there that drives me crazy. Look how the guys with Queen move when he has the ball, because Queen will find you cutting to the hole. Zion can pass, but he just doesn’t do it enough.

He’s the 3rd best guy on a really good team, or a 6th man. If he could shoot and make 3’s on a 38-42% level, he could be a top-25 player. Alas, he can’t. Glad we moved on.

Willie sucks so much.

re: Trey Murphy - passive!

Trey would be a great 6th man on a contending team. Come in with high energy and score. He doesn’t appear to be the second best player on a playoff team.

re: Summer League Watch Party Thread

He cooked in summer league last year, if I remember correctly. If he can’t shoot better, he has no role.
These guys are fans, with a LITTLE inside info. The West is stacked, and they said no way we are a top-5 in the East. Hoping that is where we move when two teams expand - Vegas and Seattle.
I would love Queen, personally. He is the same size as Boogie and has that offensive game we need. He and Missi would be a good match. I’m sure we will pick Malauch though.
