As I just posted in the gameday thread, it's time to trade Jax and find a player who can fill that athletic low-post void. Kwame has played great, but he is limited and Nazr is old. More of a need now with the Tyrus injury, because these next two months are critical for a playoff run.

Who can we get?

We've tried getting bigs, they pretty much all suck. We could try Josh McRoberts, at least he doesn't miss dunks and has some weight to him.

I think instead the team should try to get a scorer off the bench. Flip Murray was great at that last year. We should move livingston for this player and this player should be a PG or combo guard because the offense falls apart when DJ leaves the court.

Other than that the main concern for this team is just playing in control. Whether it's Wallace attempting a bad shot or charging into a player, Diaw throwing blind passes, or Jack being Jack, this team has to take better care of the ball.

Also players have to look for their shot. Diaw kills our offensive pace sometimes with his pass out of shots.

Anyway, I hope Thomas gets well soon.

Thomas is overrated and plays out of control too much. The bigger concern here is that Silas' coaching staff does not seem to like Derrick Brown and play Najera instead which will hurt us since the drop off between Thomas and Najera is quite much.

I don't have a fuging clue why Najera is even on an NBA roster, but Derrick Brown really isn't a post player like Najera. So I don't necessarily see minutes having to be shared between the two, though I can certainly envision situations in which Wallace slides over to the 4 and Brown picks up slack at the 3, or vice versa.

Tyrus averaged 21 mpg. I think those minutes should be picked up as such:

Diaw +3

Dominic +11

Nazr +7

Yeah, that's what Larry Brown would do sometimes. Derrick Brown is a tall player but not the biggest guy. He can handle the ball surprisingly well for someone his size and can knock down the three as well. I like what he brings especially with his athleticism. Every time he comes in the game our fast break is much better.

I think Derrick would most definitely look good with more minutes. He just has to pick up an NBA leveled offense. It's like whenever he's in the game he's a deer in the headlights. (Sans his defense / fastbreak)

I blame Larry for D.Brown's stunted growth.

      Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46

      As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
