    Not my modus operandi to quit on players but also not mine to stan for role players.

    Dillon brings edge and culture, DFS has brought a tad efficiency when he is healthy, he has not been healthy the last 2 seasons mostly.

    Jordan Ott trusted Brooks and now he is 21 ppg and the 2nd option on Phoenix, the 7th Seed.

    I’m sure that is ultimately the plan. He was probably insurance for Tari, but it looks like they probably need to move on from DFSin order to get some PG depth. Maybe DFS+ pick for TJ McConnell.

    Yeah, this is where I am. Underwhelming so far, but the Rockets made it pretty clear that they expected him to take a month to get back to the right level. So I’m trying to bite my tongue till then.

    Why are you so quick to give up on Amen? He is still so raw and he is nowhere near his peak yet.

    Whose idea was it to sign DFS? I’ve seen absolutely nothing of substance from his game play.

    He really lost his shot, it looks different everytime he shoots the ball.

    How long until we've seen enough with this guy?

    Has to be the worst free agent pickup in decades. Dude's agent did a real number on Stone.

    i don’t blame this guy for being washed or stone and udoka for having a 150 combined iq

    tilfuk promoted stone solely because stone sucked his toes the most and that’s how we’ve gotten to yet another wasted season

    Adam was pretty horrific when he came back from injury last year. He became good around end of the season so it’s gonna take time for DFS

    Our GM is terrible, I can’t believe we wasted all those tank years just for him to bs the whole time. He should’ve been traded Fred & Jabari. He can’t draft and he sucks at making trades. Signing DFS made zero sense. Please get this amateur GM tf out of here. Hire some people who actually have experience and relationships around the league. The league doesn’t respect Stone because barely know the dude.

    Without question. Dude hustles on both sides of the court, and while he's older than Tari, he's dependable and makes game-wiining plays. He should have started even when Tari was healthy (was lol)

    His minutes and role reduction is the product of DFS, Tari and Ime being forced to show the league what they can expect from our disgruntled , injury prone starter and the guy who shoots from the hip or with his legs pulling a Nancy kerrigan every other shot.

    This is what I posted in another thread:

    Those who say that DFS is worthless have not watched this guy play before his injury. It is possible that he will never go back to his former self. But let's wait a bit before we judge that it's the case. He just came back from a long rehab.

    I do question the decision to sign him knowing that he is damaged good for at least half a season.

    Well that first guy was drafted to be part of playmaking duties.

    Sengun is on playmaking.

    Reed is on playmaking.

    Durant is a 37 scorer who can playmake

    Holiday is on second/third string playmaking

    FVV is out for the season.

    But yes.... Tari, Bari, DFS, and Okogie are supposed to be 3 &D.
