  1. Get this dude out of Brooklyn, he is not valued there. If I were him i'd try to go to another team or over seas.

  2. Give this kid the team hes 22 with killer Kobe mentality….He was the same way right before the trade last year ….give this young man this team

  3. Cam Thomas' points are empty stats because he can't do ANYTHING else. Booker once dropped 70, but because he sucked at defense and everything else at the time, those stats were empty. When Beal was dropping 30ppg in washington,those stats were empty because he could not do everything else efficiently.

  4. They don’t wanna have to pay him come contract time so they trying to limit his playing time so he won’t put up huge numbers.

  5. This dude is a scoring machine. Glad I scooped him in my fantasy draft. Had a feeling he was gunna have a break through year.
