    Where's KPJ when you need him? How much to get him back?

    Least shocking injury ever.

    And my need for Tyus Jones has resurrected out of nowhere.

    Y'know, actually--I wonder what the price tag is on Derrick Rose, since we like trading with Memphis so much. Not to start instead of Amen, but to take his backup minutes since Holiday can't run an offense like, at all.

    Yeah, the complaint list about Ime is pretty short but this was a pretty obvious misstep. I don't think it's exactly hindsight to say he was bound for injury at 40mpg.

    In his absence, I think the closest we have a to a running partner with Sengun is Jalen Green. So the injury is a bit of a try-out for phase 3.

    I think this is your starting 5: Jalen - Cam - Dillon - Jabari - Alpe

    This is the way. Jalen's playmaking abilities are surprisingly decent. I wouldn't mind giving him some burn behind Amen.

    Try to trade for Tyus Jones and Gafford.

    Generally like this but they would heavily protect the 2025 pick and it wouldn’t convey because they will suck for a couple years.

    BAD: Only player that involves Alpi in the offense
    GOOD: Alpi PG unleashed

    Pick and run with it.

    Can it get done without including Green? Make it happen.

    Maybe that helps to explain why his game has been off lately. We need guard help anyway, hopefully we get some and FVV comes back healthy and rested for the push. Might be a good thing in the long run.

    Replace Jeff with Jalen and you got a deal. Imagine Jalen Green and Jordan Poole on the same team LMAO.

    I'll be excited for this game. Amen gets everyone involved.
