Trae even looks small compared to Kyrie??

[NBASupes]

Trae needs to play with the backups. It's easier for Trae to not have to play v. The starters. Guys like Kyrie are too much for him at this stage

Im praying Im wrong, but At this point, Trae looks like a bust. But Ima give him a few years to prove me otherwise..If he is, Ima slap the shit out of Schlenk when I see him. lol

This. Give him minutes, but Lin is playing better on both ends. Once he starts playing better, increase his minutes.

[Marvin24Williams]

Still not a believer in Pierce. There's been so many games where this team has shown up unprepared and lost on the court.

Ive defended Trae all year. I wanted Doncic bad, but I jumped on the Trae train when we took him....But I Cant defend him anymore. He is what he is in yr 1. Lets just hope he develops into what Schlenk thought he would...

[Vol4ever]

Pierce ain't got a clue.

LOL . . . no way you can call him a bust 20 games into the season.  His struggles shooting the ball aren't surprising me.   This is why I was a big supporter of keeping Dennis around him, so Trae could learn how to play, without the pressure of trying to be the star and the face of the team.

His year 1 is bad. No question about it. This team is just a lot better than Young is not on the floor.

Pierce system works the minute Prince and Young are on the bench

Yep. But I wonder if any rookie drafted would look good on this team.....

[Vol4ever]

Didnt Trae have a 25/16 game last week so he is not a bust imo.  He has zero coaching.
