They played Porzingis off the court. Officially it´s a calf-injury, but I think he´s butthurt.
Oh boy Isaac is down again and up.
On the theme of cheap bigs. I think we should give Kai Jones a chance. His athletic ability can easily absorb an additional 20 pounds and you got another center, Lively 2.0. We have already spoken about the Doncic factor. Jones clearly has athletic ability in abundance and his footwork is excellent. He just needs to accept that he´s a Jarrett Allen, not a Kevin Durant.
You can sense the underlying self-confidence that might make him his worst own enemy, but if you connect with him on a personal level and he grows a little, it could be a massive steal.
Bitadze is a good example. Clashed with coaches in Indiana. You can still see the crazy here and there in Orlando, but he has the 3rd best net rating in the league now and is finding his role. Mosley is a seriously good coach, we lost.
At the minimum it´s a no brainer to upgrade PF/C with an athletic monster.
Based on what we saw in LA, I'm thinking we should give Holmes a chance.
