Caveat: I haven't watched the San Antonio game yet.

Hes the 6th man--he needs a little creativity and passion--let him play 24-26 and do his thing. I seem him trying to rebound play defense and even pass. He can handle and creates energy. I havent seen anything wrong with Derrick. We are giving too much to Melo---I dont think Fischer is a the right good coach--he hasnt show that yet.

Yes. DWill needs to take over Melo's minutes. Melo can't play 30+ without gassing and bricking shots. DWill has unlimited 25 year old motor.

That would be the prudent thing to do, let's see how Fish handles that slippery slope. If he has the testicles, then it could swing the paradigm shift from a Melo-centric offense, to a true teamball concept, and speed the renovation for all the younger players. It puts a stamp and trademark as Fisher's first true coaching conundrum, but at the same time, it's the right move, since we ain't winning a chip while Melo's here. It'd force Melo to waive his no trade clause, and all parties are relieved.

Let's see if Fisher has the scrotum to do it!

No way! Dwil is another mental midget and if we want to be like teams like SA and Atlanta, mental midgetry should not be accepted for any reason. Build a culture that is sustainable with equal rules.

Does atlanta or SA have a Dwil or a JR smith? Of course not. No idiots allowed.

Melo? Thats a big effin problem. That sh1t don't work no more. One day hot one day not ... ugh

It's okay, this is year 1 of the renovation. If Melo isn't in the plans for the long haul this is the right play. Dwill has a player option after this season, so he'll be seeking the big pay day with a decent season and be long gone.

We'll get more teamball free agents in the summer and resume growing our KP6 and Jerian crops.

and that is why phil is a genius. No way you give Dwil a longer term deal. Something just seems off with him. He really is JR but JR was much much better than him at this age.

He isn't respecting the game enough, he needs to play smarter, and little more calmer. You like his aggressiveness, but he needs to have a balance, nothing works well for long without balance.

And now you see why so many people questioned the signing. He's getting out rebounded by Langston Galloway for crissakes. I liked how Fish pulled him out early in last night's game to get him to calm down

Well to be fair, Gallo is just a pretty damn good rebounder to begin with. But you're right about calming him down. But I'd be careful if I was Fisher about this. You don't want to totally calm him down. If you try to tighten the leash too much he will not be as good as he can be for us. You have to let a guy like that be a little wild. With good structure, that kind of wild will go a long way.
