we stand at the mid way point of the season 18 & 23.

To match last season's win total, we have to go 14 & 27 the rest of the way.

So many of you laughed at anyone who thought we'd struggle again. Well, you've seen our key additions - Noah, Rose, Lee, Jennings. And we stink bad just like last year.

So, Man up - and post whether you think they can match or exceed last year's win total, and whether you thought they would be this bad?

I for one thought we might struggle - I forget but I might have thought 35-37 wins.

At this stage - I don't think we'll match last year's win total. I'm thinking 28.

I'm rooting for a tailspin that just never ends that finally leads to a Melo trade or a late season surge that pushes us back in the playoffs.

Basically I want 41 wins or more or 27 wins or less. The in between is likely where we end up but we are playing so bad right now it's looking like we may just win once in every 5 or 6 games rest of the way.

This team is terrible and we need younger, faster, hungrier players. Guys who have some pride in their defense, guys who want to improve and learn systems and how to get better as a basketball player. If Jackson continues to sit watching this crap taking his MILLION DOLLARS a month then he's a total con artist.

I release Rose after the trading deadline if we don't find a taker.

He's 28 and has prime years ahead. He has shown good health and great athleticism this year. I don't know but I think as an asset he is valuable. However all depends on his contract. If it's north of 20 million a year, 3 years in length, pass. However I think without Melo, Rose has more value with KP. We need an elite player next to KP to draw some attention. Rose can get to the basket at will and allows some space for KP. I rather trade him but keeping him on a good deal wouldn't be the worst idea if Melo is traded.

Did you read the article on usefulness and Rose? Rose doesn't pass.

Give me Langston Galloway over Rose.

Just pray they keep that draft pick.

That puts us in the top 8 maybe higher drafting wise. I like that. We'll be able to do something significant with that pick. Say what you want about Phil, at the very least he has shown he can draft well. KP, Willy. Got Kuz. In the past picked up Langston outta nowhere. This year Ron Baker. Hopefully he and Gaines make a great pick.

Did Phil draft Kuz? I think he was an FA signing.

and thus the "Got Kuz." separate sentence from KP, Willy.
