he hasn’t been good this season but this is what happens when you play 19 yo rookies… what’s important is that he’s shown signs of viability and as long as that’s the case then he should see the floor to work out whatever he’s struggling on…

some important markers are trending in the wrong direction tho and he and the coaching staff are going to need to adjust… right now his game is exclusively driving to the basket off a pick and he’s getting less and less efficient at it since he’s getting more and more attention…. you just don’t get free reign to get to the hoop whenever you want in the nba and rj is facing more and more resistance… and he’s responded by putting more floaters up and challenging length which hasn’t gone all that well lately…

if he continues to struggle against high resistance then he should see less floor time until he does… but given what he showed earlier in the season he should be given opportunities to work through his struggles… especially since his development is way more important than our record…. he’s also shown ability to adjust.. he’s already tweaked his free throw motion with some better results lately…. so i would be more patient with him….

Trade Morris for a late first, maybe to the raptors, and start changing the culture.

And it’s hard to believe that Masai is the only competent GM out there. So why give up two first round picks. I’d rather trade them for a decent young player.

The raps can have the two Dallas picks. Back the trucks up and pay him

And if you think a temporary boss can’t mess things up, I give you Ed Tapscott drafting Frederic Weis over Ron Artest, or Steve Mills giving Tim Hardaway and Ron Baker the contracts he gave them.

You might not have to wait two years. If it becomes clear he won’t renew, the asking price will probably come down.

Again someone needs to tell Barrett not to chuck up 6 threes when he is hitting 30% for the season…..

It’s better than him shooting anywhere else but at the rim. He should shoot as many open 3s as he can.

I suspect Allen is better than half the players on this roster.

We’d have to wait 2 extra years to grab Masai for nothing. In theory we can install someone decent for 2 years, then offer Masai the front office equivalent of Mega Max Melo contract. Sam Hinkie anyone??
