    I tried to like a tweet while scrolling and couldn’t do it. No way this is true.

    If there is friction between Lucas and Silas, I promise you Silas knows it. Lucas DGAF, he tells people exactly how he feels.

    I agree with you, but I don't think Luc really cares if he does or doesn't get the job.

    Yes... and a tweet that is about the head coach of the same team Lucas is on... after a couple poorly coached and executed games. It is an AMAZING coincidence.

    I do(did) it all the time when I used Twit. Particularly when I would watch TV while scrolling. I'd sometimes pause the scroll and hold while I was looking up only to find that I had landed right on heart.

    To me, it’s been obvious Lucas wants the job. I don’t want that and I don’t think it’s cool. This org is not where it should be imo. This off-season I’d like to see them take the right steps towards winning again.

    We need Silas to keep coaching this team until April because we need the #1 or #2 selection in the draft. I would consider trading the #3 to #5 selection to help to get a Star. Also, I think we can work a deal with Brooklyn for some picks and swaps for Mikal Bridges.

    Lucas, ex NBA player, with big NBA hands and a big thumb.

    Likely was a accident. Albeit funny one.

    I think it's a public relations thing.

    It doesn't take a Lucas to realize that Silas isn't a legit coach.

    This team has a large buffer zone. They can win at a decently higher rate the remaining of the season and still land one of the worst three records which are all the same in terms of probability of picks.

    Exactly. Which is why they need to start learning hot to win NOW. Enough losing.

    Yeah except this is a 4-5 player draft, so teams want to lock into one of those positions.

    Decades of history show this. I think people are projecting their own passive aggressive tendencies.

    Yes at most. I’m pretty close to saying its a 3 player draft. Worst record we do no worse than 5, so that’s the goal. If we don’t get a top 3, I’m looking hard at trading the pick.

    there is no way that John Lucas runs his own twitter. It's got to be a young niece/nephew of his or someone like that. That person probably is a Rox fan too and doesn't like Silas and now probably has twitter management duties removed lol

    Lucas is 69, I am sure this was a fat fingered moment....or he didn't know it would cause a ruckus or realize others could see his likes...

    he's also part of the staff and late game failures is a failure for him as well. i've also seen how is assistants during games and he's cracking jokes , dapping it up, half the time during TOs and breaks. the whole staff gotta go save mahmoud.

    Both Thompson twins have a lot of talent. Amen is a legitimate top of the lottery type talent so I include him and his brother.
