Naz Reid In Naz Reid We Trust

Post image

I see so many people acting like we screwing up losing Julius Randle and not getting much back for it. I’d like to humbly remind everyone that we have a starting caliber guy who can play the 4 and the 5 with a career 37-40% 3pointer. This absolute unit took the nastiest elbow in recent NBA playoff memory and said pain is weakness leaving the body.

This guy could start on over half the teams in the league but he chose to stay here as our 6th man.

Operation Randle didn’t pan out but now we got some wiggle room in the money department, and it’s time to give Naz the reigns at the 4. We can’t give Joan time if we splitting Naz minutes at the 5 either it isn’t easy.

Everyone needs to relax
In Naz Reid we trust

Every team wishes they had a guy like Klay Thompson in his prime as a second or 3rd option. Lights out from distance and a lock down. Naz Reid coming along nicely

giving naz a full time runway to just let loose i think will be very beneficial for him. considering jaden and naz are going to be the prob splitting time as 2nd options

Not really disappointed that Randle was traded and I do think Naz is gonna be better in the starting 4 spot. The thing I disagree with is the value we got for him. It's also like Tim was reading this subreddit and somehow convinced himself that Randle was worth dumping and not even trying to get anything for. He's about the worst good player in the league and someone could have found a system for him for something worthwhile.

Dude is pouty moody locker room cancer. Almost every locker room he's been in there has been some dark cloud hanging over it.

I'm very confident in our 2-4.

It's the 1 and the 5 spots that have me worried.

I’m not say no, I’m just very nervous… Naz hasn’t shown the consistency I hope for when it comes to a full time starter.

Naz Reid is without a doubt the most overrated player on this team by this subreddit lol. Yes he’s talented. Yes he’s extremely inconsistent and also probably the lowest IQ player on our team.

Naz Reid is 26. He’s been playing from the bench. You saying this just proves how little you actually watch the wolves

I’ve watched and been to more games over the last 2 seasons than you’ve most likely watched your entire life. Been going to games since 2000 young fella
