Dude i'd settle for a guard who can play defense and hit the occasional three. That would be GREAT for this team.
DLO's history shows he's not the guy. I hope he plays well enough to fool other teams in trading for him. |
Josh Hart would fill that role nicely. Caruso would be insane. KCP would be great. |
Need someone long but I would take any of those guys |

How is this fking possible when he is clearly trying to take it easy out there????
We’re so bad that we cant even be effective as team without Grandpa Lebron and his walking cane?
That’s unacceptable |

| DLO seems to suck really bad unless he’s having a real nice game so it’s either he’s not doing much for the team or he’s playing giving us a spark with his offensive game and decent D |

He’s been consistently bad at shooting threes, ever since last playoffs. And that’s arguably the most important thing we need him to at least be above average at. |

Josh Hard does not fill any role. The only team that Josh Hart has ever helped win or contribute to in a playoff type scene is the Knicks and they were a playoff team when they dealt for him. Every team that has relied on Hart, especially to start and play a big role usually loses, usually is in the lottery, and he doesn’t play good defense or offense. He’s not impacted winning near Dlo in his career at all. If he had did that he would have stuck instead of LA to NO to Cavs to Blazers to Knicks and at one point needing to take a deal without guaranteed money |

| Hayes, Christie, and Reddish all pretty much shot themselves in the foot with this stretch. I mean Gabe, Rui, Prince, and Vando all should come in and those 3 should all be glued to the bench |

I’d still play him over DLo. I really don’t like DLo’s finesse game in the starting lineup. |

Then start Cam and Gabe in the starting lineup. Gabe can shoot the 3 ball and Cam can pass the ball around.... |

Cuz his knee and Ham won’t allow it right now. It’s not like he’s a good 3 point shooter either, outside of a lengthy hot streak during the playoffs |

No the only one to trade is DLO. It'll force ham to stop playing both him and AR at the same time. Any team that starts DLO ain't for real. |

Well just wait till he come back like "Kendrick Nunn" then we going to win a Chip with his play..just like when "Kendrick Nunn" came back..lol.
Until; then Ham might sit Dlo on the bench and give some of his Pg time to our secret weapon Cam.. One game of this DLo while the rest of the team was playing "great" is enough to tell me this what we need to do. |

| Ham should be fire, what actually did he improve? Pelinka made all the moves, he just needs to put a team together and play. Simply things likes rebounding is being ignore by the whole team. This team will sleepwalk until All-Star then the players will take over and make it to the playoff. Time to cut our loses with Ham, Lakers is so cheap to be top notch coach. Picking cheap coach for a job. |

When Bron sat with 5-15 in the first the score was 19-20.
By the time he checked back in at 1:34 left in the first the score was 23-39.
That’s -15 in the 3:45 minutes Lebron was on the bench.
That’s unacceptable specially with AD leading that 2nd unit. |

Having a lot of injured players is part of the problem.
Effort is the other problem. This team lacks effort all the time.
Starts with coaching. If we had Vogel and staff, guarantee the effort would be better. Ham just sucks.
As far as players, Russell struggled, no doubt. But, he has to have the common sense to know that if the 3 isn’t falling, don’t shoot 10 of them. I know he was good the last couple games so everyone is allowed a bad game.
We need Vando and Rui back badly followed by Gabe and Prince.
I was concerned bringing Russell back and bringing in Gabe without really upgrading at the guard spot. I still think we are especially weak in our starting guard spots.
But, again, effort and preparation is on Coach Ham and he simply sucks at preparing his team for both. |
