I'm so sick of seeing Favors & Kanter get no playing time. Favors had 11, Kanter had 9, they aren't going to develop if they don't get to play. When was the last time a #3 pick in the draft only played 10 minutes a game? Derrick Williams backs up Kevin Love, and he still gets 20 minutes a game.

Favors: 12 minutes. Kanter: 10 minutes.

Gawd, if only the airlines kept a schedule as tight as Ty Corbin!

It's hard to get them playing time because they play behind our two best players. We will have to have patience when it comes to Favors and Kanter's playing time.

Isn't it obvious then?? Trade one of our best players then for one of a different team's best players who doesn't happen to play the same position as our best young guys... it's SO obvious!! !!!!!!!!!

We should probably send a letter to the front office to share this idea. It's as simple as swapping Jefferson for Chris Paul. And maybe they'd throw in Griffin as filler.

No need to rush a deal if a good one isn't available. Al will be become much more valuable next year when he is an expiring. Same with Sap (he next or the year after?).

Our young bigs aren't going anywhere, and from what I can tell, are learning from what is on their plate now.
 
Howard: "We just wanted to come out and compete."

Translation: "Well, we are such a piss poor team that keeping it close with the Spurs is as good as a win for us."

if his value has a lot to do with his contract, then that doesn't create a strong argument for playing him 30+ minutes a night. He's still an expiring.

is he worth a lot more because he plays 30+ a night on a team that his riding him to a losing record? I don't think so. Let him put up his numbers and sit when it counts. Give the future that experience.

but go ahead and neg rep me again for these opinions. I'm piling up the pos rep while you're the sole homer****

God, it doesn't have to be Chris Paul... it doesn't have to be near Chris Paul. Nice try you jackpotter
 
I'm not sure Howard is having a great effect on our team or our rebuilding process. I wouldn't mind if he were part of a trade scenario.

Players generally become more valuable in their contract year, unless they are superstars who are in super high demand and are threatening to leave for a big market.

Confused by what you are trying to say in the 2nd paragraph, but Al played pretty good in the final 2 minutes of tonight's game. He hit a big shot that brought it to within 2 in the final two minutes and had some pretty good defensive possessions in the final 2 minutes.

I tried to neg rep, but it won't let me. I'll do it later if you remind me.
 
I'd like to see our rookies play as much as anyone, but Favors has really sucked on the boards recently: 0 rbs in 12 mins. Averaging 7.5 over the last 10 games/36 (not including tonight) and only 5.7/36 over the last 5 (including tonight). He needs to concentrate on contributing in other ways other than scoring. Kanter is averaging 16/36 over the last 5 and 13.4/36 over the last 10. O rbs is unacceptable.

Could it be that playing with Kanter (a dominant rebounder) is going to make his rebounding seem less? Not saying he shouldn't be doing better, but I bet that is a reason. There are only so many rebounds to go around.
