Exactly why it's time to let Clifford go

This whole "vendetta against rookies" idea has to stop.

He didn't play Biyombo because Biyombo was awful. He didn't play Vonleh because Vonleh was also awful. He tried his hardest to make Lance work and it didn't work out. He freaking starts PJ Hairston and actually likes what he could be capable of if he could get his head on straight and hit some shots. He's even worked Frank into the games already this year, we just have too many front court players.

Maybe, just maybe the folks with "potential" that Charlotte brings in just aren't that good. "Potential" can only get you so far especially when you're trying to make the playoffs. Remember how well we thought Lance was going to compliment Kemba and MKG? It was a disaster.

Frank definitely has skills but when you watch him it's clear he's still getting accustomed to the speed of the game and the offense. He and the team will be fine down the stretch.

With MKG out Winslow would be starting over PJ right now because of his defense  (which ironically is why they didn't pick him. With MKG on the roster he would be redundant and then never see the floor.)

Clifford is phasing out Kemba and Alfense. He's got a team shooting a ton of 3s (despite obvious shortcomings in that department) and one of the best second units in the league right now. He's giving Frank minutes early in the season. What more do you want from the guy?

This is about a 40 win basketball team talent wise playing at a 40 win pace. I don't see the major issues here.

LOL, yep,  Our rooks don't play because they suck.

You're a Clifford guy. That's cool. If Kemba isn't safe, Clifford damn sure isn't. Time to set the bar higher.

I like Kemba, I think he's a good guy and is obviously a fantastic basketball player. But we aren't winning the East, hell probably even finishing top 4 in the East with Kemba as our playmaker and starting PG.
