Insane indeed.

Just get through the first 5 minutes of each half so everybody saves face, then stagger, stagger, stagger.

Especially when he has a little extra weight! (although he looks reasonably trim right now...)

1:15 was shades of LouWill to Trezz...

He's easily the best point guard we've had since Chris Paul (which isn't saying much of course.)

Josh Primo got upgraded to a full NBA contract to get us up to the mandatory 14 as a result of the Harden/Petrusev trades.

Hey, you have two open roster spots, why not waste one of those on another guard and burn the other two way on a guard that isn't NBA rotation material, nor with the potential to be!

Moon in particular has been rewarded several times with a little extra $$ for being such a good organizational soldier in G-League. I think it's pro tem.

As for Primo, the Clips could lose him without a commitment. Think of him as a Rule 5, a stash in case the roof caves in with re-signing all our over-30s.

We have the most incompetent front office in the league and it's not even close.

According to Zach Lowe, Ty Lue said they need about 10 games to integrate Harden.

First 3 games after the trade has looked rough.

Like I said months ago:

I don't trust Frank to do that at all. Not after the disastrous PG and EJ trades. And not with how little he values the actual building blocks of a team. We're going to get fleeced.

No picks for an eternity, no other players of value. And no championships to justify it. The absolute worst position a team can be in.

This nightmare was foreseeable right away for anyone with common sense, so of course our owner and front office couldn't see it.

And 10 games from now, he'll increase Tucker's minutes, make no other changes and claim he needs 10 more.
