Cut the Svi minutes. Shift the Love minutes back to Taylor when he is back. Stop playing Lauri 36 minutes a night. Strategic rest. We can still get bottom 5 but not by just "letting the losses come". You must chase the losses lol.

Maybe if the GM gets fired, but the coach will probably take the blame first. Then new coach gets a chance with Bane etc....and if it still doesn't work they still need a player just like Bane in theory. With Suggs they have Black waiting in the wings, and Corey Joseph is still available.

Probably right but lol at CoJo... I'm sure that was a joke.

I think it may depend on what the offers would be for either guy. I think they may need a coaching change though. The offense looks exactly the same when I've watched. I think either way its a situation to monitor. Suggs or Bane could be guys to target.

I like Suggs better as a target anyways. It's still too early to shape out the roster, but it's looking like our backcourt will need to include an elite on ball player and an elite defensive player. Suggs is at least one of those players when healthy, Bane is neither IMO. I also think there's a slight chance Suggs is much better on offense than he looks due to the Orlando stink.

Competition is stiff this year with many unexpected contenders. I think bottom 5 is not unrealistic, but I'm not sure I'd say it's likely either. It would represent one of the better tanking outcomes....and the unfortunate part about that is that it likely requires Lauri to miss a lot of games.

Having said that....I just know that despite what AA had said and hard Willy's tougher stance on young players that we will start doing more "tanky" things down the line. And once we do those things, we will be asking ourselves why it didn't start earlier.
 
Brice, after being benched for a handful of games, has played harder and smarter than he ever has.

That's Hardy. That's Svi setting a bar for minutes.

Of course the young rookie contract players are going to be coached harder. They are trying to develop them.
 
I do think the Clarkson double standard last year was bad.

But I'm not seeing that this year at all. Svi is playing high quality basketball from a decision making angle, and he's making his shots.
