    Lean into the nepo. Give him a 10 day and let's get a Reaves and Reaves backcourt for 1.5 weeks

    I see a perfect opportunity to do such a move:

    2/10-2/20: Jazz 2x and Blazers in that window.

    Austin goes on DLO's pod again, this is after the Portland game. Hour long fireside chat.

    Man, I wish that one of these dudes were a great defender. They really have a bond and will be bummed when they can’t play together anymore.

    Glad to have you back AR! 25 points on 50% will get it done to go with 6 and 5 boards and assists.

    I guess there’s some mojo linked to the headband.

    Some good ole veteran leadership. Also, I think he's thrilled he doesn't have to be that guy any longer chasing around the other team's best guard.

    What a baller: he got put on Fox to end the game lol. Don't care what the metrics say he's turned himself into a decent (not great or anything) defender who coaches can trust.

    (Not to mention all the deflections, smart positioning when he's off ball, etc he does)

    He has developed some terrible habits handling the ball. When it's not working he doubles down

    Needs to be railed in by JJ

    Not only did he step up in the absence of DLO and AD, but he came ready with ice in the veins to secure the win.

    He needed to have this one after that s*** show against Detroit. You know he's a star though because they come back from bad games strong
