I remember Kenny Smith being too soft, Sam Casell needed to start! Trade Kenny Then, Matt Maloney. All he does is shoot 3's. Of course, Kelvin Cato, then Steve Frances, because all he did was dribble and hog the ball. Later, it was T-Mac because he stayed hurt, even though Yao was just as injured. Then, Jeremy Lin, Trevor Ariza, James Harden, Christian Wood, KPG and FINALLY Jalen Green! So, who's the NEXT scapegoat until we geat a RING?
Some names you mentioned do fit as scapegoat somehow (at least for some period of time): T-mac, James Harden, etc. Some names are not even worth mentioning: Christian Wood, KPJ, etc. Some names are simply not scapegoat at all: Jeremy Lin and Jalen Green.
It'll 100% be Fred unless we move him. If we do then it'll be Alpi, especially from the more rabid Jalen fans.
I’m still seriously apprehensive of Stone over the Jalen extension, the Oladipo offer, KPJ situation, some asset management moves, etc
It will be Sengun...I can see people commenting on his missed free throws or missed shot attempts around the basket...if he regresses this season, I can see people saying "we should've kept Jalen and trade Sengun" lol Unless FVV gets another huge payday, we just need him to facilitate the offense to get our guys in the best position to score.
