In the DN Sarah Todd through gasoline on Whiteside and lit it on fire over his poor effort. That is two days in a row calling him out.

Can the Royce experiment end?

Royce had a couple of bad possessions on defense, but was not the main problem tonight. Although he does look like he's not moving super well. The injury report keeps mentioning tendinitis. My guess is he is playing through pain.

This.

I am intrigued. He's played very well over the last 10 games too. Slide Hughes into Clarkson's role, boom bitches.

I'm a huge Clarkson fan too, but we need players that will do the RIGHT thing. Take the RIGHT shots, and not force everything up.

it's astonishing how JC managed a team-low -30 through 27min in a game which the team only lost by 12. second lowest is the 10-day guy Pelle at -12.

Quin needs to abandon the idea completely cuz it just won't work with any center whose name is not Rudy Gobert

I have no idea what would make contracts match but I’d be willing to trade anything outside of Gobert, Conley, Spida, and bogey to get us herbert. He’d be the missing piece imo.

Trade Doka and Clarkson for Herb Jones right now. Boom

they probably won't take Clarkson though cuz they already got a extremely similar guy in Nickeil Alexander-Walker who's given Pels fans plenty of headache and heart attack

And it doesn't work in the playoffs anyway.

That's why Clarkson goes to a third team.

I also think we help NOLA by using our exception to take Temple. Yes that's more luxury money, but NOLA is all about shedding bad contracts and adding assets.

Or maybe something like:

Boston gets Clarkson
Utah gets Jones and Temple
NOLA gets Butler, Boston 2022 1st, some minor pick from Utah, Hermangomez (expiring)

New Orleans isn't doing that. They understand they got a diamond in the rough.

Royce O'Neale got abused by Sabonis tonight. Didn't make him uncomfortable at all. Now maybe you'd expect that giving up 6 inches and 15 lbs to a guy that skilled.
