i'm talking about this past deadline where for some insane reason we were buyers.

Oh yes

that was fucking terrible

I think masai wanted to give this core one last opportunity to show that they could be for real and worth supplementing.

I mean i get it but this core quit early in the season. Every single time they had a chance to make a statement they hoofed it.

With a coach who already had one foot out the door and a group that looked like shit all season

dum

It would have been fine to stand Pat but to surrender a 1 for a mild needle mover for a play in team was irresponsible

Depends on what he gets back for him in S&T though

Sure but zeke says no one wants a traditional C

 

[zeke]

Why would they.

Joker's the only trad C that can make the finals and he's actually a point guard.

 

[Leafin']

If they lose a 7-10 pick in ‘24 because of the Poeltl deal… yikes.

that Jasikevisius? Was a name hovering around when we hired Nurse. He seems a bit too aggressive for the soft ass NBA. Don’t think his methods would go over well.

and yea seems like they’re punting on the roster. Good. Should be an interesting few months.

And you need to compete with the Suns who will take whatever you get can get for Ayton and maybe Minny who has to regret having KAT and Rudy

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Of this weirdo names out there I think I like Jordi Fernandez the most. Sacroiliac feels like a lazy hire just because he was assistant once and I don’t want to learn this other guys name

Ideally they are bottom 5 bad

Kenny Atkinson is the one hire that would give me pause where we are entering total rebuild. He is an assistant that should be able to wait out a legit good opportunity, unless he's getting a 6+ year deal or something

 

[Montana]

Why would it give you pause if he‘s so good you think he should wait for a better opportunity?

Yes

 

[Leafin']

The rebuild could be pretty quick with the right moves. Have to hit on draft picks. Any trades of OG and Siakam will likely bring back young guys with upside.

opposite end is that it could end very poorly if Masai doesn’t identify the right targets. Barnes is a solid piece to build with.

get the best coach possible for the roster we’re looking to put together.

 

[Jeremy]

Jamal Murray mean muggin reppin the 6

 

[zeke]

Joker just won't let them catch up. crazy stuff.

The best player in the world is a big white slow centre

Just as Zeke predicted was always inevitable.
