Well, it matters at least a little, the coach is not part of the actual coaching staff?

Sure, I mean it matters that the people identifying talent for these teams and the guy(s) coaching this team seemingly haven't done great

It just doesn't matter in terms of the overall situation all that much because, if we're being honest, the main 10-12 or so guys on the roster and the front bench coaching staff (the SL head coach is not on the front bench AFAIK) are probably responsible for 99% of a franchise' success in a given year.

We should b looking at ppl like drew timme to try out in summer league not these players we know arnt gonna work. Our scouting for summer league needs to improve. Even if the first few games they want our first 3 to shine we need good looks at others. Timme could possible fill wendles spot for much cheaper

I like Timme and agree he could fill WCJ's spot.

1. Drew Timme is under contract with the Brooklyn Nets. 

2. Drew Timme is nowhere near good enough defensively to replace Wendell.

Wendell doesn’t do much and u have others on our team for that. Goga, Isaac, ect. Or even switch out Isaac’s contract. We need to lower our payroll and those r the first 2 I hope we lose as the talking heads say it will b Suggs 

[Jtsaints]

I hope Wendell has a bounce back good yr but I’ve never been much of a fan of his

Noah Penda racks up 17 points (2 of 4 from 3), 6 rebounds, 3 assists and a block.

How old can u b to be in sl? Could of we tried out oladipo?

Zach Freemantle made an impact by just playing hard. He's a 6'9 non shooter so his likelihood of making it is very limited but 9 boards and 2 steals in 15 minutes. Start him in the last game and let's see if he's worth a 2 way. Give me the  unconventional guy who plays hard and smart over the athletic, prototype size guy who looks like he's never seen a basketball before. 

Noah Penda is good, hope he makes the rotation.

To what end? He hasn't played in 2 years. Likely wouldn't want to risk his health playing a bunch of scrubs in summer league. And, most importantly, we couldn't give him a contract if he played well anyway. 

[Jtsaints]

He is pushing for a chance to play again and maybe get him for a vet minimum. It’s better then watching ppl that shouldn’t b here try. At least he would have a chance and also could help the guys as a vet mentor try and get better
