CAM downgraded to questionable. I wonder if that is due to everyone coming back and not forcing him out there.

Or just to let his ankle heal. He's sprained it twice in a 2.5 week span.

Denver?

Bogi and Lou for Monte Morris and Will Barton. Fix the backup PG position for the next 3 years and add another scorer off the bench for this season. Barton can be moved in offseason.

You'd probably have to include a pick(s) in this deal. Monte Morris is having a career season, and Will Barton is averaging 15, 5, and 4. Both Lou and Bogi have underperformed this season, so I would be genuinely shocked if Denver accepts that offer straight up. 

If we're trading Bogi, you can do better than Nunn, THT, and a pick.

This virus is no joke y'all. Stay safe.

I guess BG has to try to get his minutes away from washed up Rondo again?    Not sure why teams still think Rondo will work at all.   Hopefully JB is already figuring it out.

 

 

I'm happy for BG and I hope he can stick with them for awhile. He deserves a spot in this league. He can win you some games.

See the 2 to 3 second mark in the video. Pretty sure that's Bogi. 

Also, Trae was listed out before he received his second negative test.

That's Kevin Huerter. He's out of protocols.

Bogi's there too so I guess he received negative tests and maybe back tomorrow!!!

Bogi isn't in the video. He's still in protocols.

I know Iwundu's deal expired today, but we have to bring him back on a second 10 day deal. 

I can make the argument that he's been way more valuable than TLC.

Unless entering Health & Safety Protocol doesn't count against 10 day deals,  Iwundu's 10 day expires after today. He signed back on Dec 23rd.

I think we can still sign him to a second day, since guys like Bogi and Dieng are out.

Iwundu all day if Cam is out...

I agree. I like his defensive IQ.

Just now, bleachkit said:

Did Cam go down in pain or was he just pulled? I didn't notice anything happen watching it live, but it was the Cavs broadcast.

He tweaked his ankle on one play, and attempted to play through it. He was pulled from the game after the first quarter. 

Just now, terrell said:

Nate probably would.. lol.. Hopefully Jent wont...

Jent is out as well. He's still in H&S Protocols. Joe Prunty is going to be calling the shots.

Just now, bleachkit said:

He will probably try to be equitable about things. Assistant coaches generally don't go too far off script. 

With TLC back, is he going to start him, or will he go with Cam (assuming his ankle is ok)?

12 minutes ago, bleachkit said:

He's an experienced guy, I think he'll be fine. 

I'm curious to see how he'll handle the rotation with most of the cavalry back. 

9 minutes ago, JayBirdHawk said:

Is Jent still in H&S? Who will coach?

Joe Prunty.

Help is on the way, but Nate is entering protocols.

9 minutes ago, bleachkit said:

He's putting up monster numbers. His PER is higher than Steph's. In fact, Trae and Ja are the only point guards in the top ten in PER, which traditionally favors bigs. 

He's a generational talent.

That's what we need honestly.

They need to show his defensive tape to the rest of our guys.

1.  I'm not expecting more than 12 wins over the next 20 games.  We have so many guys coming back from protocols and injuries that it will be hard for everyone to come back in rhythm with good chemistry.  

2.  The rotations are going to be jumbled, too.  Will only say Bogi and Huerter are the most reliable starters.  Okongwu over Dieng.  

3. Making a trade based off our record is reactive thinking.  A trade is dependent on who is available, and if they improve our team.  Still, our results already indicate we should be looking to improve via trade.  

4. Easiest move to make is finding the right PG or combo guard to lead our 2nd unit.  A GM has more intell on who is available.  I don't get into predicting who the player is, but I can identify the need.  

D.J. Augustin piqued my interest when we played the Rockets a few weeks back. Corey Joseph is another intriguing target as well.

Why are our guys trapped in H&S???

Lonzo Ball has cleared. He went in on 12/26, same day as Collins and Johnson and after Gallo, Huerter, Cooper, Onyeka and TLC.

They may have symptoms and are trying to recover from it.

With Lance moving on, how would you grade his performance in his 6 games?

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/stephla01/gamelog/2022

He wasn't a good fit, but I praise him for his professionalism while he was here. Best of luck to him in the future. 

1. 13 - 7 

2. Skylar Mays has shown with increased opportunity that he's a solid rotational combo guard off the bench. He has really high IQ on both sides of the ball and he can knock down open threes. I think he should take Lou's minutes. When everyone is healthy, the starting lineup should be Trae, Cam, Dre, JC, and CC. We need to have our best defensive lineup to start the game. Bogi and K'Von can run the second unit. 

3. 7 - 13.

4. Trade Gallo, a protected 2nd, and Dieng to Orlando for Garry Harris and Robin Lopez.

    Waive TLC, and look for a serviceable PF in the buyout market. 

Lou might be coming back.
