I think LB already knows that the best place for Penny, Malik, JJ, and Mo is bench or DNP. This bunch is collection of IT mistakes and desperation moves. But can he really cut them off?
It's a blow in Isaiah face, and... it will be no way to trade them out if they will not play at all. So it is also a blow in Dolan’s face.
It's not his decision and he will do everything (like starting JJ) to make IT make this decision himself.
If this will at all happened we have a youngest team in the league and who know... how long it will take to make them good enough to win the established teams with good mix of veteran players, stars, role players, and youngsters (with some limited minutes from the bench).
But this is the way to handle this team "The right way" - play young players we have, get 20 wins and go to lotto this year (which was lost opportunity the last one). And Craf and Q should come from the bench. If their game will not became solid it will at list make them attractive for trades for picks or young talanted players.
