Probably RJ....It's Zos turn in the dog house apparently

Was said in an article that he was going to go with RJ and Ellington but decided to go with Frank due to his success against Kemba. Not a bad move considering Kemba scored 32 last game. Would assume RJ moves to starting at SG. So hard for him to back up at PG initially. Interesting to see who he picks.

I get going with Frank, but I wish Fiz would stop pulling guys in and out of the rotation. Difficult to get a good rhythm going when you play one game then miss the next 2-3 etc.

same. I also think that when most guys are stapled to the bench their confidence is lower than normal. So great, throw the guy wondering what's wrong with his game in as a starter. Maybe it's just an indictment of the roster

The longer this PG carousel drags on, the more likely we will see a trade for a veteran PG around the first trade deadline. My guess anyway.

If offense looks like it needs a spark he def shouldnt hesitate to insert Trier. He is one of the few that can get deep into the paint. Better option than a Morris Iso mid-range pull up.

Zo should have never been pulled from the rotation in the first place. He had a great game against the Nets, 22 pts on 6-7 shooting. He was off in the next game then banished to the bench for the next 2 while Ellington throws up one brick after the next. At some point, Fiz needs to find consistent mins for our core young group.

Bet you he wont bench RJ, morris or randle after his bad game, or pull them from the starting line up.

you really dont understand why those guys may be coached differently that Trier? Really? Is this the town rec league?

PLus all 3 are a bit more accomplished defensively at this point.

A Trade?????????????????

LMAO

This FO already tried that with Mudiay and DSJ..

And mills... (when he was a GM) had a chance to grab Rubio for Rose and he wiffed, because(him or phil or both) didn't want to add any picks.

The problem with the FO is they are not willing to sacrifice picks in any trade, they would rather eat a contract(see noah, kanter, kuz, willy, ect) or take a chance on a draft bust and prey..

Maybe a player like RUBIO even gets KP to reconsider his request

Who's out there? Payton seems like he will always be injury prone.

Good question. We have good players to offer in a trade, the advantage of a deep squad on short term deals, for the most part. Believe we have the assets to spare for a competitive offer for a PG. Have no idea who would be available at that time. Would rather see our PGs figure things out, but that might not be the case around trade time.

I understand the box score tells a story. But what is it that Fiz and the players who spend endless times practicing and traveling together might know what we don't? We assume Fiz is just pulling guys out when they have a bad shooting game or is it following a game plan? Defensive/offensive assignments? is the player hesitant, not instinctive or plain brain dead? Before I blast the coach or the player I ask myself what can this be? What might be really eating at Fiz regarding Trier? Im thinking its defense and you mess up your mates look bad. You lose your lockerroom if you don't proactively seek remedy.

Rubio is good but i wish we had a PG that could shoot. We don't need a star PG. I think the wing position is more important in this positionless game today. We just need a PG who can make open shots, defend, and facilitate an offense. In theory, Frank can be that guy, but he lacks confidence. He has good form on his jumper, it just doesn't go in. He strikes me as a guy who shoots well in pickup and workouts, just not in games. We need him to mentally take a step forward. It's year 3 and this is his biggest chance. If he doesn't show that now, the PG search will continue.
