    If he pouted then yes. How do you know he pouted?

    Fernando made the most of the minutes he was given. I hope he lands some place else. I think he's an NBA player.

    They probably didn't want to sign BF to a new contact which would reduce cap-space after next year... that's my guess

    Pretty sure there was a game he was heading towards the locker room after getting pulled by silas before (Nwaba i think it was) ran after him and convinced him to return to the bench.

    This was all speculation of course so who knows if he really did pout.

    If he did, that might explain why we're not interested in returning him.

    And even if he didn't, it's not like that's gonna make or break the season.

    I thought his frustration was understandable. He was outplaying every one in front of him in the rotation but Silas clearly had his own agenda.

    I agree. I think he's a good guy to have for the end the rotation who plays hard enough to step in when guys get injured. But, he's at a place in his career where he likely wants and needs consistent minutes that we can't offer.

    I think the rockets are just at a place where they're focusing on high potential prospects.

    Maybe they would take him on a super team friendly deal like Garrison Mathews and Tate but I doubt he takes any nonguaranteed longterm.

    I don't know man, I would have kept him but I don't know what goes on inside so it's hard to say. But what I saw on the court, I'd keep him. Trade the guys who want to leave. If EG and KMJ are moved, there's enough room for him.

    Can't have the 7th man off the bench pouting (assuming he did). Don't care if you think you're better than the guys in front of you.
    You can tolerate some player entitlement if they're really good.
    Again, assuming he did pout, that's enough reason to not bring him back.

    Also trade KJM for that trade request.

    What type of culture is it if the 10th best player on the worst team in the league is acting up because he doesn't feel like he's respected enough.

    Yeah, someone mentioned the Spurs will be fighting for dead last next year to try and win the Wembanyama sweepstakes. I wonder if Presti is in the same boat or if he thinks he's got a full enough roster to start fighting for wins.

    Honest question. How good have teams been in the past with this much youth and games played/started. Seems quite difficult to be average. The season after with 4 21 years olds and a Sophmore Jabari/Eason and I presume a decent FA being put into the rotation as when you see a lot of improvement.

    Bruno would be an excellent minimum salary addition to one of the top teams, Warriors, Sixers, Bucks, etc.

    Man i feel for Fernando. He played so well when the chance came. What else does he need to do to make the roster?

    Schroeder was always just an expiring to tilman. They want an expiring for Gordon too it’s he hasn’t been traded yet

    Nobody wants erratic Schroder. Bruno is a useful backup center. We don't need him if he's a malcontent who wants a lot of minutes.

    Yes, Garuba is a backup center too, who might be on the way out in the future, if he can't earn more minutes.

    We don't need Bamba at all. I like Claxton but I don't want him on a max contract either.
    Boban will probably ride the bench.

    Boban approves this message.

    I would rather Bruno go somewhere where he can get PT because he's not going to get much unless it's G-league.

    Mfiondu why not him? Of course, the Eastern Conference Chokers signed him.
