Time for Zion to go? + Cade Cunningham MIP? | Slam N Jam

Yeah, I think, you know, in short, no, there's no way they should be this bad. I think, you know, I kind of break the season up into segments because, you know, earlier in the season around November, that's when literally everybody was out. And it was like the starting lineup was like Brandon Ingram, Brandon Boston, Jeremiah Robinson, Earl.

Like it was literally Brandon Ingram and a bunch of G leaguers. And they were really bad during that time. But they would get a win like here and there. And then it got to the point where. DeJounte Murray came back. CJ McCollum came back. Herb Jones came back. Trey Murphy came back.

So it looked like night to night they were able to put a legit starting five out there, multiple guys making like $20 million a year. And it felt like they got worse during that time. Like they were playing probably their worst basketball during that time. That's when DeJounte Murray, you know, had back-to-back games or career highs and turnovers. Trey Murphy was going through it.

Herb Jones' shooting was down. And I think that's when it was like, man, this is really bad. Because you kind of look at November like, okay, once they get past this, they'll be able to figure it out a little bit. But that's when it got really, really bad. And I think they've kind of ticked up a little bit. Like we've joked about, it's great to have back-to-back games against the Wizards.

That's a good way to kind of pick up morale. But, yeah, I think... it has been much worse than I expected it to be, particularly when they got most of these guys back, because this is the team that is going to be moving forward. Right. You're going to have the Janta. You're going to have Trey Murphy, Herb Jones with Z. Of course, you always got to deal with the questions about his injuries.

But these are the guys they've invested in long term. And it just hasn't looked very good early on. Um, Maybe it gets better over time. Guys get to build some chemistry. DeJounte Murray's going through some stuff right now. But it's been really disappointing December on just how much they've struggled with most of their main guys.

I think David Griffin, I would bet he's probably going to stick around. I think they like a lot of the stuff he's done with
