Depends on the health of the team as a whole. If Sexton, Markannen, and Allen were all healthy? We could maybe hang just under .500 and have a shot to make a run once he is back. With all three AND Mobley out? I don't know. I mean, we started Ed Davis, Dean Wade, and Isaac Okoro last night. And two point guards, which is viable when they have Allen/Mobley behind them. Not so much with Wade/Davis. That's just not a viable starting line up in a conference with as much parity as the east this year (13/15 teams trying for the playoffs).

candyman93 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Ugh That 4th quarter kinda exposed why we need a go to scorer. If we had a guy who could get timely buckets, we win that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In just 3 plays, a clear Draymond hold was missed that led to a Curry 3, Rubio missed a layup, and then Steph had his 4 step clear travel that wasnt called that led to another 3. 8 point difference there took all the momentum. Also, I am retracting my statement from last week. I am fully ready to trade Okoro. He still can't shoot, He still plays out of control at times, and even though he draws fouls, he isn't good from the line. I am really regretting us taking him when we did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping that we could package Sexton with another player or two to get a legit SG or SF but it ain’t going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could always turn it around. But it feels like that pick should've been Avdija like a lot of us said at the time. (Skilled, pass first true SF with 3/D potential.)

candyman93 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Why do we want to trade away potentially good role players? Sexton and Okoro can contribute to a championship roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not ready to trade him because I don't think he has a ton of value, but the starting 2 guard expectation needs to be tempered until further notice. He's a nice bench player right now with upside.
