Trade the bust

Speaking of Frank how has he looked this year? I don't get to watch many games because I work nights so I haven't seen him play much but his stats compared to last year's makes it look like he has regressed. Is this true or is he playing ok?

As for trading MKG while I think it would be a shortsighted move if you get a good 2 guard right now it might be worth it just to make a push "deep" in the playoffs this season.

Trade him? Probably not going to get back enough for him what we think he's worth. So I say no. 

However, if we did somehow blindly stumble into a legitimate scorer from the 2 or 3 positions, cough should have drafted Devin Booker cough, MKG would be fantastic coming of the bench and playing in small ball crunch time lineup. 

He needs to be our Iggy. 

Oh yea we passed up on Booker too

the worst thing to ever happen to MKG was losing Mark Price as a coach. He was showing legitimate improvement until he left. I say trade him if you can get something for him

um not sure if you read my post. that was my point

I hope he gets more aggressive offensively and finds that range on his shot that he showed going into last season before the injury...  but i dont think he'll do either.  He may have a one or a couple of aberrations of seasons down the road stats-wise that would make people believe he is more than what he is, but he is what he is at this point.

I realized pretty early on that he went from another potential Gerald Wallace, to we'll be lucky if he turns into Stacey Augmon.

Don't think trading MKG is the answer. I'd prefer Cho look to trade for someone that could come off the bench and anchor the second unit's defense bc right now, we don't have a good two way or defensive minded wing coming off the bench.

I'm so far from being an MKG homer but this is harsh

Stacey Augmon averaged 8 points and 2 rebounds a game for his career, it's safe to say MKG is already on his level if not better.

MKG should be our defensive wing off the bench, let him come in and go all out crazy for 20-25 minutes every game and utilize him properly. It would require Marco being a full time starter and Batum actually playing decent defense again but I think it would be the best thing for the team. The only worry I have is the first unit rebounding without him but Cody would just need to step up in that department and we should be fine.

anything is better than what I have seen TY...I am not exaggerating when I say I have not seen him make a jump shot all year

He made 3 tonight alone, you must not be paying attention.

Justice Winslow's trash.

It's hard to even blame him. His usage rate is 14.9%, which is 13th on the team. It's clear that the coaching staff doesn't concern themselves with getting offense out of him because they don't run the ball through him. If you can think about how little it seems like Roy Hibbert touches the ball, MKG gets it even less. It's tough to put that all on him. All of our bigs have a higher usage rate, which is strange.

Could see that, of course you have to put Batum on the opposing teams superstars to start game which isn't ideal either

Watching MKG on offense is like watching Graham Gano kick a football
