    If Stone is a smart guy, he'll trade Alperen while his value is high. I don't expect good performance from Alperen until the end of the season. This will be a bit like the Harden situation, because he received a lot of backlash on social media and will probably play every game like this without taking any responsibility. He should be part of the Giannis trade.

    Sengun is our best guy and he’s 23


    His skill is there we just need to reel him in with shot selection


    Yall are savage in turning on players we are developing


    The only player that doesn’t really fit and can be swapped is Jabari. I hate saying it since he grew up here but he’s gotta play smarter. The rest of the guys are fixable

    As I said, he should be traded while his value is high. I follow other sports too, and players that the fans don't like generally can't be successful.

    Keep everyone. Tari is now going to get matched on a very reasonable deal. We will be able to put some team friendly option there.

    Trade FVV snd filler over next 24 months slong sith pick to put us over.

    Sengun/Amen/Reed/Jabari is a great set of players to build around, and they all fit exceptionally well together, provided at least 3 of the 4 prove to be above-average shooters in the long term.

    I'm not touching anything right now.

    My favorite stat from this game: Jabari went 5 for 11 from the arc and was our fourth-best 3-point shooter.

    It took me a moment to figure out who was the third with KD and Reed, Okogie right? That dude impresses without being flashy. Just putting in work. It's nice when so many have a great shooting night.

    I don’t think yet.

    We get him in his groove as a 6th man for many many games. Young players can get perturbed too easily since they don’t have an identity. He can be this curry type off the bench rn

    right now if he plays these minutes and subbed in early it doesn’t matter if he starts

    Why? The last time they tried that he had 3 straight bad games. What’s the matter with him cooking off the bench? When he’s starting he is deferring. The other thing I noticed was Ime actually was running mulitple picks to get him open, like a bunch of us have been saying. The only time our offense got stagnant was with 2 bigs. If they are double teaming Durant up top, you absolutely have to have Sengun setting up at the free throw line to get the pass from Durant, then everybody cuts or spots up off of that. Unfortunately it always seems like Adams is the guy at that spot and he really sucks in that situation.

    Jabari had a good all around game, which is becoming more frequent. All the Jabari haters will be back the next game he doesn’t shoot well. I’m really disgusted with the fans on this board and how they constantly hate on the young players when they are inconsistent like young players are apt to be.

    A lot of the fans are young, too. In 10 years maybe they’ll be a little slower to demand trades and firings.

    Nothing can rival the golden state level hate but damn do I ****ing hate the nuggets and their fans this season.

    We need to figure it out and kick their asses in the post season. If we settle down I’m confident we can do it
