Guaranteeing Jordan Goodwin's contract seems like a no-brainer.

i think our offense is getting better- granted it was the grizzlies but we're seeing more familiarity and fun in our sets

We have an extremely soft stretch of the schedule for the next 4 weeks or so (but a packed stretch with a ton of back to backs and 3 in 4 nights).

The Nuggets don't have Jokic, the Lakers are unraveling, Houston has no play maker and is struggling.

If we take care of business, we've got a real shot to shoot up the standings. We're only 2 games back of the 3rd seed right now.

Insane to even fathom a few months ago.

Didn't even realize he played in the OKC and Houston game. Good on him. I'd guess there's a minutes restriction for him during those.

With Oso's emergence, especially as our clutch time center, it's allowed us to cut down Williams overall minutes. He's only averaging 24 minutes a game on the season.

Williams has been awesome, his impact per minute is fantastic, but Oso is just so heady, always seeming to be making the right play, even if he can't shoot to save his life. I really like him. Between the two of them, center has been a strength for us. And they provide really different styles, which is nice.

A wing/power forward who can really crash to boards and run the court is what we lack right now. Maybe Flemming can become that guy, he has all the tools.

our defense is more than fine it's nice - far as the roster goes it's like we're adding 2 new players in jalen and fleming anyways - we have 3 centers and another in the oven

i just don't feel the need to trade for a pf - not with how much we switch on defense - goody grayson and gillespie will still end up covering bigger players and ott is fine with that - he actually likes it - he could play oso at pf with williams in there if he wanted to

idk how to explain it or why it works other than it being a collective effort but size aint nothing but a thing to jordan ott - we've already seen him play 4 guards at the same time - 5 if you count oso

unless someone offers a first for richards we're good but id like to keep him - he's the only clydesdale we have - thoroughbreds are what's hot but it's good to have that size in the stable - especially with all the miniature ponies we have (sorry - good weed)

i think we can get to the 6th or 5th seed with who we got and anything can happen once you're in the playoffs- especially with jordan ott

The real reason to make a trade is to try and consolidate and upgrade pieces if opportunity becomes available to do so, with a side goal of restocking draft assets.

There's going to be a real minutes crunch once Green is back and healthy.

At the guard & wing positions we have: Book, Green, Gillespie, Brooks, Allen, O'Neale, Goodwin, Dunn, Booyea and Fleming. I'd love to see Fleming and Dunn get more development time but there's just not enough minutes to go around.

Steve Nash says sports has become commercialized in this country. It's especially sad to see it embedded so deeply in college sports.
