There's no rubbish teams in the playoffs thankfully

hacks

True, but in this West every single game counts. We can't afford to drop stupid games, otherwise we will end up finishing behind Lakers, Jazz, Clippers and the Rockets, and end up playing the Rockets in the first round. We should be sitting firmly in second place.

Losing to the Hawks, Pelicans (twice?), Grizzlies, Suns, etc. is just inexcusable. Even with these injuries.

What a win. B2B, had to travel, four starters out, including our best two defenders.

I was all for trading Barton last season, but credit where it's due - he's been great this season.

MPJ is the real deal. Our depth is the real deal.

Now watch us lose to the Pistons in two days.

What a f****** surprise.

Why do we bother sending a full team to these types of games?

Seriously, we beat Utah and Milwaukee and lose to f******Detroit.

Seems there is more to it than what I posted.

Lose: Beas, Jauncho + Vanderbilt
Gain: Diop, Napier, Green, Vonleh + Houston 1st

Sad to see Beas go, he’s a good player but way down the pecking order. Jauncho I don’t Mind seeing go, he’s a pretty vanilla player but hope he gets his shot in Minne

Green is out for the season, don’t think he’ll play for us at all. 1st rounder gives us more flexibility.

Houston going all in with Tucker at C lol

Harris, Vonleh, Green, Morris + Houston 1st? (Can you on trade players?)

Harris, Plumlee, Morris/Napier + 1st for Jrue + Okafor?

Spitballing here.

Don’t like the idea of trading Morris though.

Don't like this trade at all... I'm all for trading Juancho, but not Beasley or JV. Especially not for a bunch of spuds.

Why?
Beasley rejected our offer, so wasn’t gonna be with us after this season anyway. Walks for nothing.

Juancho wasn’t getting another contract with us either.

Better to get something for them while we can rather than lose them for nothing...

Juancho I was all for trading. But I'd have much rather kept Beasley over current Harris. Hopefully there's a bigger picture move on the cards. I think we could have kept Beasley if we offered him a bigger role.
