    Payne-full idea.

    Just let FVV slide to 2 when Amen checks in. Whitmore 4th guard minutes. Holiday/Hudgins 3rd bench is fine. Roster is unjamming itself, no need to stand in the way.

    30 minutes opened up, there will be significantly more playing time to go around now for Amen, Tate and even Whitmore.

    The loss of KPJ is not a loss of a PG, it's a loss of a ball dominant SG who has playmaking potential. If you buy into Amen and Whitmore's talents, this is a massive addition by subtraction.

    Of course the poster who bootlicked Kpj of all players (great call!) would think we never had a chance (great call!) At least you are consistent(ly wrong!)

    Cam is overrated. He is a great backup point guard, but people are acting like he has Durant levels of team choice.

    Or as backup Shooting Guard. Him driving to the basket would be like driving a tank over baby seals.

    Please no. We must run Stone out of town if Nix get an NBA spot again.

    No.

    Those minutes need to go to Cam & Amen.


    This removes that 28 minute a night roadblock in front of both players.

    Otherwise, there was too few minutes to go around, someone was getting left out.

    Cam Payne would be a better combo guard option. I would not be mad if he chose to look our way.

    This. We have other guards/swingmen to fill in, Tate, Cam, Amen and Holiday. We need shooting.

    I think the right thing to do is cut KPJ and sign Josh Primo :D
