    I’ve run out of excuses for Jalen. I hoped he was our go to guy.

    The time on the bench this season should have really pissed off Cam and hope he sees his opportunity to take the starting SG spot after Jalen’s playoff meltdown. If I’m Cam, I’m in constant comms with Ime and/or the coaching staff this off season.

    I don’t want to see Cam pout, I want to see what he can do with those mins bc mentally he seems like a dog - unlike JG.

    There is no chance Ime will EVER give Cam a chance to play. He'll probably get dumped this off-season.

    Ime has his favorites and it doesn't matter if they are any good at all. No one else is going to get a chance.

    Cam probably smells greener pastures elsewhere. And also the turd that our “star” laid on the court.

    Still don’t think he was the answer, though. Out of our young players he was the only one to not be bought into the system—and I think his ceiling is more Maggette than Carmelo

    Why are we talking about this guy as if he's our savior? I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him shipped off this summer.

    I predict that he is sort of a mid to later bloomer......

    Both Cam and Jalen are gigantic disappointments from a b-ball IQ perspective.

    I think we just need to stop wasting our time with them.

    If Jalen doesnt get traded, i fully expect Ime to be stubborn and continue playing JG, Stone has to get rid of him.

    Double edged sword here. If this becomes a reality, then how do you pay him when it's time for a new contract? I would hope that Sheppard becomes that guy and Amen can help cover his shortcomings on defense. What do we do with FVV?

    He’s in no position to demand a trade.

    I don't think we would need to worry about Cam's balls retracting under pressure like we saw with Jalen.

    The rumor is that Cam is immature which was the reason he didn't get many minutes. He's probably going to be traded this offseason to consolidate the roster.

    Gonna be hard for Stone to let go of Jalen (his first big draft pick).

    Why would you even want to if you're Cam?

    What you're suggesting, Cam already did throughout the entirety of his rookie year. Every single time he got playing time, he was better than Green. Consistently.

    Now he's had an entire season of never playing. I couldn't even hold it against him if he told the coach and ownership to F themselves with 2 middle fingers in the air on the way out when he's inevitably traded.

    Much higher chance that Cam ****s Ime and Jalen's old women and posts it on IG than for Ime to agree to play guys he throws in the doghouse.
