It's time to rebuild, I guess. 

Stop trying to rationalize out mediocre roster and ill advised signings. The fact that this team is above .500 is really a testament to Bud's ability as a coach. 

Yea man LeBron sucks!!! Even though he can guard all 5 positions, passes better than an all star point guard, can rebound as a good as a power forward, unstoppable driving to the basket, off the charts basketball IQ. But he plays for another team so he sucks!!! Grow up squawkers, you guys sound like a bunch of immature haters. You guys would be great general managers, "I'm not trading for anyone because everyone sucks except the Hawks!" Freaking dumb asses.

How come guys like Lebron never get hurt? I don't think Lebron has had a significant injury his entire career. I mean I guess I'm not surprised. I think steroids are alive and well in the NBA. Lebron and a few others seem to avoid it...Curry also, Curry had significant ankle issues and now they are gone...they didn't miraculously disappear.. what's up?

Even If medications are helping them stay strong and prevent injuries (dubious at best theory),than that's a good thing. The whole stigma about steroids and HGH is completely irrational. Why does anyone care if a medication helps you stay strong? It's not your body, it's his.

There are drugs available that magically make you invulnerable to injury? Wow that's news to me. Where did you get your MD/PHd if I may ask? 

I would rather have Horford than freakin' Bazemore. What solvents are you guys inhaling?

I think Ferry would not have signed Bazemore. 

We are in trouble. We are stuck with mediocre Baze, dude is 27, he's not 19. We can stop pretending he is going to be a centerpiece. TMJ is going to cost a pretty penny to keep now. Milsap is going to cost us the GDP of a small nation. Dennis and Dwight aren't good enough or consistent enough to carry this team. I see why they were going all out to get Butler or George. That is our only hope of being relevant.

Teams never want to make big trades because If you end up being on the losing end of the deal you never live it down. 

Everyone said we had to pay Bazemore too, that's the market, blah, blah. I'm not opposed to paying THJ, but you can't pay everybody 70 million.

Once you pay him, his play will begin to suffer. That's just how these things tend to work.

It's really weird how bad rookies look at first. Do you guys remember Dennis S. in his rookie year? If I didn't know any better, I would have guess he had never played a minute of organized basketball in his life. He looked horrible. Guys like LeBron ready to come in and dominate day one are very rare.

He can reach top 3 for sure.

He is a 3 and D, and a mediocre one at that. He's not even that great a shooter. He is not a starting caliber player, much less worth 70,000,000.

Don't care about his tweets. Just become a good pro ball player.

I'm a terrible basketball player. I can't shoot to save my life, it's ridiculous.

 Lightheaded joke goes awry! Oh noes! Political correctness police to the rescue! Now there must be outrage and recriminations and self righteous nonsense from the gotcha obsessed media! Yayyyy!

Kyle was the man during that 2014 season. 

I'm not sure what we should do. I'm glad I'm not making these decisions.

Still feel like we need a good wing player.

Count me in for a new coach and GM

I think having a separate coach a GM is a better model. Coaches get too close to the players, and it influences their decisions. The Baze contract being a good example. You don'y pay a mediocre 3 and D with very limited offensive skill 70 million just bcause he's a nice team first guy. That's not how this business works, and being from the Spurs he should know better.

Why did we pay Baze 70 million? Was Bud drunk or something?

Count me in the tank and rebuild bandwagon.

Thought you were responding to the post before yours which was mine. Anyway, hope we have awkwardly started a few wins in a row now. Happy Holidays.

Ok, my bad.
