    what can be done to prevent nerds from trying to pry him away from us? Kelly played well for the Rockets and they were ready to give him 12 mil when he had just been average playing for Miami.

    We should have kept him.......we literally signed a worse player in Theis...when we had Olynyk. I hope we keep Mathews and lock him up in a good contract.

    I wonder if Jalen Green knows he's completely lost his starting job and 30 mpg playing time.

    He will get it back when we trade EGo, unless Christopher passes him up too.

    lol. In today's NBA Gary B can play the 3. If anything Gordon goes back to the bench, he is well suited for the role.

    He has to show he can do better than Armoni Brooks also. Green shows some nice flashes on offense but he gives sooooo much back on defense and hustle.

    This team is deep. This team just needs to find any way possible to clear wall's contract.

    Your not wrong, Green needs to get better on defense. Once his body develops and the game slows down for him he will get better. We need to play the long game with his development.

    He better working on the D as well as the 3.

    Jaygup has proved it can be improved in 10 games.

    Fully agree, but his minutes shouldn't be a given. I don't see why he should get more than 15 mpg when he comes back until he shows he can outplay the other young guys. Porter and Green have been kind of a disaster together too.

    The fact that Mathews can shoot makes him a contender to really stick around after the rebuild, something I can't honestly say about KJ, Tate, or any of the other wing-ish players who can't shoot in their mid 20s.

    I agree he needs to earn it. I liked how Borego made Lamelo come of the bench for a while even though he new he was ready to start.

    How apt of a comparison is Mathews to JJ Redick?

    On the nose, pretty close, off, or way off?
