    Would also welcome a 30 and 10 superstar, an Allstar and great defenders.

    Mathews is the closest they have, but I agree that they do need to get tougher. What happened to Brooks the other night deserved a response.

    Owner is the only real correct answer here. We won't win with cheapo Tillman. Unless we somehow luckout in the draft and get 4 all time great players.

    Wait, so you're keeping Garuba, who's shown all of nothing since he was drafted and ditching Tate who came in at starter quality as a rookie? Nah, your ideas are just wrong.

    garuba is a small ball five project at this point. Im not saying just give tate away,but hes not good enough of a three point shooter and probably never will be. We can package hik with someone else to get someone better. You got to giveup talent to get talent and hes nothing but a bench player on a contender. Garuba is tradable too, but since weve got him locked into that rookie deal we have more time to develop him and his ceiling is higher ifhe can hit that corner three.

    It's like they get bullied too easily

    Can't say I agree with a thing you've said here if I'm honest.

    thats quite ok if you dont agree. Its just my opinion, i respect yours. We cant hold onto all of them. I like tate sont get me wrong. But hes going to want a raise too, and i dont see him fitting around green and sengun long term. We need great defenders who can hit the three. Tates a good defender but i dont see his playmaking ability as something that we need as a starter. He cant box out the other centers well enough though he tries. At least garuba may be able to switch everything well one day and hit that three like tucker. Thats the hope. I guess well see…

    This is the big bit I don't agree with though tbh, you say Tate can't learn to shoot the 3 but think Garuba can? Garuba looks like he barely knows how to throw a basketball, nevermind shoot one. Tate's shooting 30% from 3 this season, he doesn't have a mountain to climb to get to Tucker level, and he's in his second NBA season. Garuba looks years away from being NBA ready so far.

    right 30 percent at 26 years old. Thats quite bad for wide open threes, and even if he does improve, hell never box out anthony davis like tucker did, or even miles turner, leaving gordon as the only one who could last night. But like i said hes a project.

    i guess ur prepared to pay tate the 8 or 9 million a year he could get on his next contract to miss those wide open threes? Im not saying garuba will either, hes tradable too. Its not tate or garuba, i dont see tate fitting period. We want a thirty eight to 40 percent shooter next to green and alpi. 30 percent is a mountain to climb, its doable but not probable.. hes wide open

    This is what I'd like to see from the kids. Just give the opponents a taste to show you're not intimidated.
    No need to be the Bad Boys, but just stand up for your team.
