ha, no. I have knocked jaren in the past, but I must say- he was very impressive in the bubble. he was aggressive and pretty dominant. a guy like winslow- I'd say he needs to be working and ready to roll. I'll say it again- I don't think we have ever had a player like ja and he is going to change the rules for our organization. guys need to come in ready to follow his lead or be ready to find another address. slim.

I get the distinct feeling that ja will come back next year on a mission and his overall game will be even better. I get the feeling that guys will need to meet ja's dedication and drive at some level, or they won't be part of the ride. slim.

my hope is that grayson is putting up shots each and every day this crazy off-season. no reason that he can't put the work in and be an above average 3pt shooter. he has shown flashes of brilliance. now is the time to put the work in and come in ready to roll next season. slim.

agreed, we have a tremendous bit riding on winslow. sure would be nice to have him get healthy and remain so and see what we have with a healthy core. at that point, mid next season, begin to understand our identity and make adjustments as needed. slim.

I voted team stand-pat. however, that could be a double-edged sword as well. imo, everything moving forward has a shadow of re-signing ja hovering above. some will argue that jjj is just as vital and important, but, to me, the shadow is clearly ja's.. I believe in our guys, but the fo needs to ensure that we show very clear signs of positive steps next year, and be in a position to truly move forward the following one. the griz have never had a player like ja. the rules are different and the organization has to fill out the roster with complimentary pieces. again, I voted stand-pat, but the fo is rolling the dice no matter their choice(s). slim.

odk, how was the documentary? i missed it, but would really like to watch. wonder if i could catch on netflix.. slim.

speaking of tv ratings and the league, i for one believe it would have been better had the nba made the production of the bubble games more authentic. as it stands, there Is so much noise piped in, you lose the authenticity, the purity of what’s going on down there. granted, one of the benefits of all the piped noise is drowning out all the expletives and crying from the clippers for instance...but, the point remains..there certainly could have been a more natural angle to the production. slim.

it’d be cool if the griz did a marketing piece celebrating ja’s incredible year. few commercials/pieces of players and or fans bursting in mock interviews and blaring- ja morant....you hear me...??? slim.

great honor for ja and for our organization. so happy he’s with us. slim.

i can only speak for me, but im not afraid to play devil's advocate and jump on opposite sides of an argument. i think that is how thoughts can evolve. i love jjj, and i disagree with the argument that the young man is injury prone. i would, however, like to see him improve in his rebounding and limit his fouls.. slim.

if you're referring to me, you're mistaken on both counts. slim.

im not advocating for it, but, at one time, our 4th pick in the draft was traded at the deadline of his rookie season. i love jjj and want him to continue to do great things here btw. slim.

while i don't think it was a very good article, i do think that each and every player on the roster (ok, minus one) should be realistically evaluated within a trade scenario. i don't think its blasphemy to review our roster in a critical light. slim.

beale street bears asked a question re jjj’s injury history and career track. it’s something to ponder. slim.

he could post just about anything (without it being moved) in the nut thread. slim.
