Deandre Hunter sucks
Hunter is so soft. Looks like a sensitive person.
I'll never understand playing Garrison Matthews over AJ
Bucks are good on defense when it counts the 4th quarter
This is what happens when you go 0/3 on your lottery picks. Not even going to mention the Luka trade but we needed 2 of Cam Dre or OO to be at an allstar level right now and theyre not even starters on most teams.
Thanks for the show, Brad. I know it's tough coming in here and talking after these losses. Especially when there's no clear and easy way to improve what happening with the team. (As Bey, Bogi, & DJ won't just wake up 1 morning, and start defending well)
My solution, for now, would be to go after Kyle Kuzma instead of Pascal Siakim. Locked into a contract at about the same numbers as Hunter, can pass (5 assists a game this season) & can shoot 3s, while Siakim is shooting 19% from 3 this year. And maybe Kuz gets to his Lakers 2020 season defending ways if he has less offensive responsibility? I'd maybe do Kuz at the 4, Jalen at the 3. And I know Hunter definitely isn't our problem now, and that the Trae/DJ backcourt is just too small. (Especially when DJ can't defend) But I think Jalen & Kuz can rebound and process information faster than Hunter. Also, you're correct. If Bey's not shooting, he can't be on the floor. Might as well have AJ out there if he's not shooting.
And since Dec. 9th is coming up, where you can trade players who just signed, I would maybe look to move DJ (for a more talented shooter/defender, & just get a backup point guard) & Hunter (to increase the front court playmaking). Clint too, but only if we can get a true backup big, as Bruno looked better on the Rockets than he has in spot time this year.
Hunter has to goooo
