    We can't keep this up.

    This is two years in a row that we have not utilized all of the available money in the offseason and end up with a bench that the coach treats as unplayable.

    This just can't be acceptable for a team with championship aspirations.

    Ryan Anderson, Tyson Chandler, Isaiah Hartenstein, Ben McLemore, Gary Clark and Nene...

    We are carrying SIX players on a roster of 15 (not counting two way guys) that the coach doesn't think can play.

    Ryno was a useless signing. He serves no purpose. He can’t shoot at home, and he’s a defensive weak point at all times. He’s washed.

    never been high on Clark...he’s a borderline NBA talent...he does nothing well...Hartenstein is a borderline NBA talent to me as well, he doesn’t impress me either

    Tyson Chandler has a place on this team, but he’s pretty old.

    McLemore is Gerald Green...come in and hopefully hit a few threes...he’s not good tho, I’d hate to see him on the floor in a playoff series

    Nene just collecting checks...he can’t play or they risk him hitting his bonuses which can’t be used as additional salary in a trade, plus he always has some sort of injury...it’s time to retire...I understand that he won’t if he can keep getting a couple mil every year to sit on the bench for most of the regular season

    Morey gotta do something

    how do you know what the coach thinks?

    more accurate simply to say "We are carrying SIX players on a roster of 15 (not counting two way guys) that the coach doesn't play."

    just sayin'

    Is tyson on some minutes restriction? What's the point of having a backup C that this team has needed and not using him. I know this team loves to play small but wow. it makes sense why tyson didn't decide to come here before then and maybe alot of other back ups C's

    Anderson and chandler are here for when the lakers go big! they got AD, LeBron, Dwight, might get cousins back. We'll be glad we have them when we play the lakers.

    Add Thabo Sefolosha to the list. Zero points in three games? Give me Gary Clark

    Besides Hartenstein who should've played because Chandler was on a rest, who didn't get minutes that deserved them?
    He's defending very well and taking minutes off Tuck

    Thabo looks like he aged 3 years from last season to this season. He is much slower now. Maybe that's why MDA wants to use him at the 5.

    You’ve got to be kidding me. He’s not quick enough to guard perimeter guys, not big enough to guard the bigs, can’t shoot, can’t dribble. He’s all washed up. Gary Clark at least is longer and can knock down some open shots.
