    When I was a kid, I was the one that threw soup or left dinner at halftime.

    No, he’s going to the G League.

    And then Stone will trade him along with three future 2nd round picks next summer.

    Depends on how he develops. We have a coach that actually develops players this time around. If he doesn’t then yes, he’ll eventually be shipped in a deal

    Do we really know that Udoka has that much control over the rotation?

    I doubt it to be honest. Green needs numbers for his extension. The organization has cuddled him a lot, there is reputational investment. Would they risk getting him disgruntled?

    you’re basically saying udoka can go Luke Walton/Marvin Bagley on Green? I doubt it. That’s not how things work, usually. Stone/Fertita have all the power, Green is their golden child. Udoka can’t risk losing another job again, he’ll tow the company line.

    Will Ime Udoka give Cam Whitmore playing time?

    I don't see why not, phase two still involves your tank picks being involved, and you may as well play the three year 1st round picks to build up value and see what you are truly working with

    The NBA is a long season and nitnack or major injuries occur, I could see Eason backing up the 4 spot and Cam sneaking some player time behind Brooks, Cam will benefit from defense lessons from Brooks which will do kindly for his immediate and future development

    If Cam carry his summer league into preseason then Udoka would be silly not to have some rotational minutes for the young bull

    It's been said many times -

    It's only Summer League and we won't know the true value until the end of this season, but as of right now, how in the hell we did we get a steal like this?
