Really don't get why Vogel doesn't change his defensive philosophy when we're getting beat like this. We keep switching and rotating. Stay tight with Murray and Jocic and rotate on the others if you must. Same thing happened verse Boston 

Because you deal with that to get live reps in this defense.

Question: Is Mario in the deep end of Franks Doghouse, or is he just sparring him from himself?

Both? He's the normal 10th man. He's sucked when you ask him to do something with the ball this year.  He's looked solid as a spot up shooter or straight line drives attacking closeouts.  With no backup point guard we need supplementary ball handlers.

So what is his future here, package him before the TDL, or should we attempt to get a Okafor for him?

I've said it before we should make a last ditch effort with Mario by sending him to the g league for a couple of games to just see if he can get some swagger back

He'll be here until the end of the year unless he is packaged in a deal as a matching salary. without next year and RFA status which would help another team keep him, there is really no reason for another team to trade for him.

We will likely continue to play him as we have- don't expect anything from him though, in play or trade.

 He has no future here.  Nobody will trade for him because its a lose-lose scenario to trade for a guy who's on a declined rookie option year.  

If Mario is bad they traded for a bad player.  If Mario is good they traded for a player thats very likely to leave because the only contact that team can offer him is his option year. Any other team can come in and outbid you. 

So if you're a gm who still believes in Mario you're better off waiting until free agency
