Said this before but RJ's mentality and IQ will make it really hard for him to fail. You don't worry about those types of players.

I remember when D'antoni had Zbo playing out of his mind for a 10 or 20 game stretch that somehow elevated his value enough to dump his contract.

Zbo ended up being a critical component of a tough...

I already mentioned RJ, Mitch, and Quickley so reiterating the fact that they're contributing is a moot point.

Leading the league in minutes just means... you're playing more minutes than everyone...

I'm just throwing names. Randle is clearly the best player with heavy contributions from Bullock, Burks, Rivers, and Payton.

RJ is marginally improved from last year so far (minor bumps in...

It's Randle and the veterans who are predominantly "leading the charge" which is why these wins are close to meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

We're not going to win a championship with...

Only caught the highlights but wow Quickley blew me away.

Played amazingly well.

I'd have to double check but I'm pretty sure there's a significant correlation between FT% and overall jump shooting. It's a good sign that RJ's free throw percentage has improved.

Overall, I'm...

I was starting to lose hope but this losing streak has me giddy.

Somehow we're only one loss out from last place. Just need Washington and Detroit to just start winning some.

If the Nets don't come away with at least one championship this'll be like the KG/Pierce fiasco all over again. 3 unprotected first rounders with the rights to swap 5 other picks? Yikes.

This is why tanking is always the answer. It keeps you consistent. It keeps you honest. It prevents you from falling trap to fool's gold.

Which masochists are actually coming into this thread to talk about the top prospects in this draft? :laugh2:

Also, it's a good problem if you're already a contending team. Not if you clearly suck and desperately need foundational pieces to emerge.

Lol just busting your chops, chief.

I would agree but I don't trust this team at all with money.

I honestly can't even think of the last good multi year signing they made. Feels like every contract became regrettable halfway into...

If it was Joe Miller or whoever still running things, I'd be a little more at ease. But Thibs can coach his *** off and will probably buy them at least 3 or 4 extra wins. And then you have Randle...

Sure, but that literally changes nothing. The odds are still greater with a worse record, so the incentive is still there to lose as much as possible.

There absolutely is a reason to worry. ...

It all but guarantees a top 3 pick, which, in a draft like this, might as well be interchangeable. So in that case it behooves them even more to ensure they get the worst pick.

I'd say if this team ever wins a championship, odds are it's because they were able to draft a Cade or Suggs rather than sign a Burks.

This team never learns.

What the point is of signing random journey men and artificially winning games at the expense of potential franchise altering draft picks I don't think I'll ever...

Highly doubt he becomes a legitimate foundational piece so the smart options are to either ride out the contract or cut him.

He has been playing really well though. Which makes me really...

Pretty impressive considering there's not even a mod around and Knicks fans in the real world seem like huge idiots.

Winning games with randos going off is literally the worst possible outcome.

Randle played his butt off.

I don't think anyone thinks he's a bad player. Overall, he's probably a net positive.

But he's 26 and doesn't fit the timeline.

By the time RJ and whoever we...

Sixers starting to feel it. They did a good job of putting pure shooters around Embiid and Simmons.

RJ should be benched. Letting him continue to make a fool of himself probably won't do him...

To increase the odds of getting Cade or Suggs.
