    Or blow it up and let him develop? We cannot do both. Be a contender and spot him minutes.

    Well I can assure you that we won't be a contender anytime soon.

    Reed is a bust. I’d love to believe different but your defense can’t be so bad it makes Steve Nash look like an all NBA defender in comparison and survive in this league.

    Reed is fine.

    Sengun is the one I would exploring trading.

    On a side note Banchero dropped 45/9/8 tonight for Orlando. He playoff production continues. Career 27 point a game scorer in the playoffs.

    This is falling prey to narratives, his defense is not bad and the numbers back it up. Its his timid offensive play at times which is disappointing. The rockets win the points when he's on the court

    We gave Jalen Green 4 years with starter minutes. We haven’t even given Shepp a full year of starter minutes yet. So the answer is no. You keep Shepp for now.

    The hyperbole on both sides of the Reed Sheppard discourse is insane.

    He's a 2nd year player in his first playoff series. We really don't know what he is yet. But, the whole point of a rookie scale contract is that you have time to figure out.

    He really did. That was the best I’ve seen him play it, Hope he keeps it up.

    I’m probably trading Sengun first. Fred, Sengun, DFS, and probably KD & Tari if it came down to it. I’ll give Reed one more year to get his **** together

    Not as a need him off the team thing, he’s already a good backup shooter, good chance he’s a quality starter in a few years when he can legally rent a car.

    He’s not untouchable, if he’s being highly valued in a trade for a difference maker then yeah you consider it.

    Literally secured us the W, thanks to great plays in both ends of the court. A close 88-85 lead with Lakers on the roll was flipped to a 92-85 lead that ultimately killed Lakers momentum. Now let’s think what happened on the 4th quarter in game 2, with Reed on the bench and KD running almost all of our possessions.
