Valiant effort with so many main contributors out and little to no defense being played. Simply ran out of gas in OT.
 
Morgan deserves a chance and has since last year.
After watching him and Ersan today I’m even more sure we could have figured out backup center without the Favs deal. I’m also looking at our cap situation going forward and it could get even more dire when DM makes an all nba team this year and his max goes up by 6M.

Long story short... the Favs deal gonna cost us either Mike, JC, or Bojan... or it’s gonna cost some draft capital (which we are super short on) to move it.

It becomes even worse when you understand that his deal will throw us into the repeater tax a year earlier.
 
This game is a good example of where big market coat tail riders like Drummond tip the scale in their favor. A quality starting center earning 800k, we have Juwan Morgan at nearly double the pay, 1.5m. The playing field is not level.
You said it brother!!! And why the NBA is still a cut-rate sports league.
 
On the waiver wire today is Mo Wagner by the Celtics after they signed Jabari Parker. He is 6'10" and was a late first round pick in 2018. If Dok ain't coming back this year why not take a flier on this guy? He has a 30 point 15 board game in the Association. It's apparent they think Hughes is garbage and if we need to rest Rudy and Favs coming down the stretch, this kid could give us another big body.
