    Just saying we made the wrong pick. JG is 6th man and we drafted him at 2

    I would have a sit down with Cam and tell him that if he wants to play he has to defend, pass the ball and shoot less often.....if he can do that he can earn his way onto the floor....

    Don't worry, Green will have a bounce back game and then all his fans will make an "apologize here" thread and forget how terrible he is every other 4 games.

    Just because you extend Jalen, doesn't mean he has to get the max. I'm pretty sure a max extension has not gone to a rookie to never even make an All Star team.

    Even with Sengun, we talk about him making the ASG, but the West has so many good players, he will likely miss it this year. So based on recent history, even him getting a max extension is not a foregone conclusion.

    Difference is if we don't someone else will. The league knows Sengun is a beast. Jalen will be coming off the bench somewhere eventually and will probably be paid like it. If he walks, then he walks.

    Hasn't it been reported that he refused to work out for or meet with the Rockets?

    If that is accurate, how would they pick him .... and be stuck in a situation like the one the Vancouver Grizzlies were in with Steve Francis and all you end up with is Michael Dickerson, Othella Harrington, Antoine Carr and Brent Price while the franchise gets to go play with the team of his choosing.

    Mobley may be the better player but he should not have been the pick.

    The pick should have been Scottie Barnes.

    It should have been Mobley and a Plan because feeding Mobley to the Sharks would have had the same outcome.......

    Tilly and Stone are amateurs, they are now gradually learning how to build a team.

    They wasted 3 years.....should have hired Jerry West and real Professionals to give you the Blue Print.

    It is hindsight now....but yeah....if they knew they ended up with Udoka.

    They would have started the Draft bonanza with a Defensive minded Two way Player for sure.

    Why do ppl keep saying **** like "it's mental he has every tools to be great just be patient". Bruh mental shortcomings are serious flaws that will absolutely cap your ceiling why do ppl downplay the importance of it? When you listen to these people you would think they are talking about him being in a phase. Like his cat died a month ago and he's grieving trying to comeback from that. It'll pass just be patient ok but he doesn't have a cat does he?

    If you are not ambitious you will not improve. You will not train 2 more hours than others every day to improve your jumpshot, your defense, your body.

    If you are complacent you will have hard time adapting to changing circumstances, and a won't be able to meet new challenges. You will be content with what you are.

    If you have self doubt it will hinder your growth as a person.

    You could be a pessimist, escapist, defensive, could lack of self-awareness all of these play a major role in determining where you're going to end up.

    This dude has serious mental shortcomings. It's not just a matter of his vibe or something like that. Be for real man you are all grown adults attributing his two-plus years of inconsistency to his vibe rather than his personality how does it makes sense? "He's in his head right now he just have to he just he just ..." He can't man that's who he is it's all in his DNA.

    There were about 3 of us on here who wanted Barnes from the outset.

    If you know nature, Chromosomes are not the only thing.

    There is testerone detected in females and estrogen detected in males.

    Also why so many are feeling they born in the wrong body.

    Udoka or not, he's been the best overall player in that draft.

    Who else was in that draft, I kept forgetting.

    Jalen Johnson has made a steep improvement.....

    Franz Wagner is still there.....
