He’s not fitting well under this new coach and alongside Schroder. His offensive touch close to the basket is still solid but he leaves a lot to be desired elsewhere. We need to experiment more of a two-man game with him and Scottie or Siakam if this season is a wash, at least get him going or up that trade value.

I expected his offensive fit to be bad without a PnR partner so that’s not his fault to much. It’s absolutely his fault that his defense and rebounding has been so soft, and his turnover rate is way too high for his role.

we in shambles 💀 need a trade asap masai…

Jak’s game is just not suited for the modern NBA. He’s not even blocking or altering shots at the rim anymore. Plus he can’t hit a free throw to save his life. Besides Scottie, name one good thing Masai & Bobby have done since we won the Chip
keyrinn
hey, he’s a top 60 center in the league!

Sometimes I wish we would’ve gotten swept or not made the playoffs any year after 2020. Apparently it had to be made even more obvious that this team doesn’t have the pieces to make any noise to the front office. Could’ve been 2-3 years into rebuilding by now.
It sucks because i enjoyed the bubble playoffs and the down 3-0 to 76ers comeback attempt but they were not worth the sillyness of the Pascal/Fred/Jakob trade situations

If someone asked him about that comment, would he double down? Seems like a stubborn guy that would
efficientshelter69
It’s not his fault he can’t shoot, can’t rebound, can’t body the other center or defend the rim? Stupid logic

Another African with terrible hand dexterity should help. Over to you, Masai.

A top 10 pick? A bit of an early assumption, it’s also projected to be one of the worst trade in recent memory.
Also 2nd round picks are worth next to nothing, Jae Crowder got traded for 5 2nd round picks, same with Gary Payton II

There’s not much of a puzzle when it comes to this roster contruction. Dennis is not a good 3 pt shooter. Pascal is not a good 3 pt shooter. Poeltl is not a good 3 pt shooter. OG is an average 3 pt shooter. Scottie can now space the floor but we want him to be one of our primary creators…with almost zero spacing around him.

He’s a great center and easily worth it ..to a competing team. Which we are not. But we have him on a great contract. Surely we can get good trade value out of him, probably more than what we traded for him.

It is his fault because he’s playing like a replacement level centre and can’t shoot free throws.
If he was playing like he’s supposed to, he’d get 30mpg

Trade him to the grizz for adams and picks is my preferred scenario

Show off hands ✋️…. Who didn’t see this coming?
WE ALL DID! Every single person who knows a little ball could’ve told you the fit wasn’t right. We need a big AND a PG that can space the floor to maximize Pascal and Scottie. 🙄

He’s gotta be way more aggressive. Dude is at most times the biggest player on the floor. He’s not an elite rim protector or defender nor a shooter or even a reliable free throw shooter so what does he do? Half the time he’s fumbling catches. The dude is 28 but moves like he’s 38.

Fire Masai and Bobby
Top ten centre lol
It’s mindboggling, masai saying Poeltl a top 10 centre, traded a first and 2 seconds for him. Guy can’t even play in 4th in traditional big like Jokic
All our best lineups are without Poeltl
Masai gotta go, this team was 5 games under 500 last year with 8th best odds in lottery before deadline and mf traded for Poeltl to make play in lol
WE RE SIGNED FOR 20 MILLION A YEAR
Also resulted in a worse pick which we used to draft a dud.
