He somehow managed to make a turnover when Poole had the ball :)
But Fears is so much fun to watch (and the only reason i am watching this game).

He’s so fricking bad. I would trade him this offseason for whatever value he has. He’s not a winning basketball player
He is a rookie, who clearly hit the wall and makes very dumb turnovers last few weeks, but trading him...
We have way more problems than DQ.
The best we can hope for is that we run it back next year without making any trades and at the deadline is clear even to Joe that Zion should go.

Why would he want to be here when productive winning organizations will covet him?
Cause he has a career year with the team after a year long injury season, have earned only 30mil till now and there are not many contenders (if any) who can offer same contract.

Yep, he should have had 10 assist already, but either guys were fouled or could not knocked down open shots.
Like AD said he embraced the bench role and improved significantly afterwards.
Hopefully DQ is taking notes and after a proper training camp he will improve next year too.

Is Zion where he needs to be in year 7 on defense and defensive rebounding? Why are we singling out Queen here and acting like Zion has nothing to improve upon?
You know the answer very well. There is a chance DQ to work and improve defensivly, but there is no chance of Zion to imrpove anything in year 8. Maybe when he is 30 he will realize that athleticism is temporary and he will start addind jump shot and 3 pointers into his game and will focus on rebounding.
Right now he is a good No2 option and we have to live with that. Hopefully Fears will keep progressing and in year 3 he will be the real No1 on this team.

Sucks having to play without Zion and Murray down the stretch in a competitive game like this. We're playing handicapped.
That was definitely not the issue today. Zion played 34min (10 in the 3rd and 9 in the 4th). Dejonte played the entire 3rd quarter and given how Fears was playing in the 4th should have not seen the floor at all.
The refs were quite good untill the 4th quarter, I thnik FTs were 10:9 and finished 22:13. And that flagrant on Queen was simply unbelievable.
But besides the refs we lost the game because Murray could not score at all (otherwise he was assisting a lot). JB should have simply kept Fears as he was cooking.

With 1:28 left the clock did not stop after a made basket and NY just took their time and it probably ate about 9 seconds
It was from 1:41 to 1:30-1:31 as someone (Hart i believe) was laying on the floor.
It was one of the best oficiated games this season, especially considering who and where we are playing but this call....

Another game where it's visible that JB transformed our offense and we don't depend on Zion anymore (even though his presence is still very important for the others to have open looks).
I am happy to start next year with the Karlo, Missi and DQ, as they have such a different skillset and all 3 of them are constantly improving.
But we desperately need more shooters, cause if Trey have an off night (or is guarded as he is today or vs Cavs) we will need Fears, Bey and Karlo to shoot 6-7 threes each.

You dont walk away from guaranteed money after a career year, regardless of the team you're on.
Especially when you are 27 years old, have earned only 20mil in your career and this is probably his only chance for a big money. Bruce Brown is the perfect example.
Not to mention that he came from a season long injury and there is no contender that will pay him similar money.

Can't be mad at such loss. Cavs are playing for top 2-3 seed and we are playing for building chemistry. And we lost simply because Harden and Mitchell are great players and we missed few consecutive wide open 3s which would have stopped the bleeding.
Let's find some Sam Merrills', Duncan Robinsons', Luke Kenards'...to replace Poole and Hawkins. I'am fine with our bigs, who just have to keep developing.

That one and couple of missed layups by Fears, Bey... and we would be up 10.
Everyone is playing good though

Cavs are not convincing after All-star break, Allen is out and if Mitchell (questionable) doesn't play too I would say that we have pretty good chances.
re: Dejounte Murray is a damn dawg!!!
Posted by BGpels on 3/21/26 at 3:14 am to Delusional
I agree that we can't be a contender with him as No1 option, but also don't think his contract is a problem right now, because we won't find another player with similar production for that money. We don't have to pay our rookies (which hopefully will be our cornerstones) in the next few years, will never attract any high profile free agent and have no problem to extend Bey, as Poole will expire.
Zion contract will become a problem when they extend him (cause they will try do it) and I fear they will offer something like 150-165mil for 3 years instead of what it should be - 100/120mil. With the constant rising cap if we pays him 35-40mil in 2028-2030 and he is the 2nd or 3rd best player on the team, that's fair, but if we have to pay him 50-65mil/year...

So wild to me that some fans want to keep zion ?
There is a diference between keep him at all cost or keep him because the return will be worse than for BI.
The last two games showed that our offense is not Zion-centric anymore, but it's still better for Trey, Bey and the others if he is on the floor.
Therefore if we get couple of 2nd rounders and players like Brown and Olenyk I would also prefer to keep him for next year and further developing DQ and Fears.

That's three 'ifs' in three sentences.
My eyes tell me all I have to know, I don't need any 'ifs'.
He is a ROOKIE so of course that there are plenty of 'ifs'. There we ifs with Jokic and Giannis as well, so it's up to DQ to develop the right attitude in terms of playing defense, further develop offense game, improve conditioning, etc.
Like LakeviewLemon said, just look at Missi imrpovement, especially in the last two months.
quote:
Not sure about Queen. I hope he progresses, but he has gone backwards faster than anyone would expect. His defense is nuts. He just looks like he does not understand basketball on that end. Even on offense, he seems to be frustrated that he is not running the offense. He makes some really dumb passes (last night one late into 3 defenders) and just gets lazy.
He didn't have a training camp, started the season injured and it is the 1st year for him playing against proper bigs.
Let's see how he will be next March/April before judging him. If we keep DeAndre I am more optimistic than not that he will develop the right attitude and become an average defender.
quote:
Queen? You mean the guy who had four turnovers and plays no defense in just over 15 minutes tonight against a team that sat their three best players? That Queen?
If he doesn't injured himself and have a proper preseason for sure he will be better next year. And if he adjust like Fears (who was moved to the bench bit earlier) they will be a very dangerous against other benches. Especially if we can replace Hawk and Poole with proper shooters.
