It could be worse. Imagine losing DJ and Garcia to the pros and still having Wojo as the coach.

Any scenario of Wojo back was unbelievably depressing

Damn. This stings.

Tough to argue with that

He might be a perfect 2 way player that probably will not be drafted but becomes a free agent like Wes. Not sure at this moment he has a position, he is not a point guard and not really a 2 guard. Will learn in the G league at best.

This is devastating, absolutely devastating. I think I'll take a walk and recalibrate my expectations for 21-22. #This Blows.

all the excitements gone. its not fair to expect a new coach to field a tourney team in year or one or two but with there being so many transfer this year and it at one point looking like all 3 of our best were returning it felt like maybe shaka could get it going year one. just so deflating. the guard play next year yikes.. feels like "two more years" of waiting. 😵

I like DJ and hoped he was back, but I am good with everyone leaving. Have a lot of confidence that we will be in better shape come October.

Yep, gotta say I'm absolutely stunned by this. Of anyone, DJ was the most vocal about Shaka and seemed like he was all-in for next season. He's nowhere near NBA-ready but after Vander I've given up relying on these guys to use reason and logic in these decisions. He probably had one person tell him he was ready for the league, Steve Wojciechowski, and that's all he needed to hear.

Good luck to him. I think he will eventually make the league, but this is a bad decision on his part and a bummer for us. That said, he and Dawson were only gonna stay one more year at most, so might as well move on and let the younger guys get the reps. Will be interested to see how we pivot with this news on the transfer front.

Goose, I feel like someone just drop-kicked all of us 100 yrds. I do trust Shaka but this one is beyond brutal. I know it's a visceral reaction but we desperately need some hammer replacements. Immediately.

If the portal provides someone capable in the PNR it'll help make this sting a lot less.

I like DJ. Loved that he wanted to take the big shot. But he's not irreplaceable.

Goose · « **Reply #37 on:** April 28, 2021, 07:12:39 PM »

Muggsy

Keep the faith. I really like DJ and sorry to see him go. That said, there is zero doubt in my mind Shaka will continue to get his guys.

Good take. I think a lot of the reaction is based on the player we thought DJ could become under Shaka, but he may have been the same player we saw last year. Great at times, mediocre at others.

Stretchdeltsig · « **Reply #40 on:** April 28, 2021, 07:27:11 PM »

Thought Shaka would coach DJ up molding him into a better ball handled and defender. The kids got a lot of talent. Perhaps he was concerned about all the new blood coming in.

Vander Blue Man Group · « **Reply #41 on:** April 28, 2021, 07:30:22 PM »

What a surprise and disappointment. They happen every year but some of these decisions are mind-boggling.

WarriorPride68 · « **Reply #42 on:** April 28, 2021, 07:37:48 PM »

I was told Shaka would make the pain stop

Well this is a stunner! All the talk on social media about staying and just like that, he's gone.

I'm going into next season with no expectations. I don't even care if Garcia returns at this point, but I'd love to have him back.

So glad we're not stuck with a lame duck year Wojo. That would make this news really depressing.

Lol. If DJ plays 1 minute in the nba next season I’d be absolutely floored. He may ultimately make it there but he’s a longgggg way away.

Relax. Good grief.

This is nuts

And he signs w / an agent ?? He has
ZERO chance of being drafted ... is not ready for the NBA in any way

Seems like next year will be ugly.
