I wonder how the delusional fans will feel after lose to the Nets.

My guess is he has already lost the locker room.

Same

Spent too many years loyally watching Shandon Anderson and alcoholic Steve Francis to waste more time on rubbish

Unless there is a miracle trade this season will end in tears

I don't think this is a Brown issue --- you have your highest paid player basically on a hunger strike refusing to play good basketball until post trade deadline and maybe more importantly post a max extension.

Saying rumors leaking that talks around Kat have been had with Memphis, Orlando and Charlotte.

Feverishly working trade options now....

This is why I’m truly down on this team. There is a maturity issue, a character issue. Not everyone has it, but many key players do and it means that the inconsistency and lack of effort on defense isn’t a temporary issue, but a character issue. This happened last season. They might have another stretch of motivation and go on a run and try to fool us again, but I don’t believe it anymore. There is a true problem in the foundation of this team and until it’s gone, we are truly nothing but pretenders.

I do wonder if he actually could use a damn break and give up in the damn consecutive game streak.

Yes he’s soft by nba standards - almost anti nba given how he avoids all contact. Hoping he’s dinged up some lately or maybe caught up in whatever stuff is going on with locker room.

KAT without Mitch makes us super soft and Brunson is defensively limited. I really think KAT just does not fit with our first team defensively and unless we can somehow land Giannis next to him - we will continue to struggle as we have $50m that can't play when the game gets more physical or needs rim protection. Some say Sabonis and while I like his rebounding, passing and vision - he's not especially big and offers limited rim protection like KAT.

Can Sabonis play better as a PF next to Mitch or do you have to live with him as an undersized C and struggle with lack of pain protection? Also he's out all season I believe so doesn't really make sense to trade for someone until they are healthy and playable...
