While I like bud. He caused this mess. I would have more respect if he some how stayed to turn it around. But regardless. Schlenk is betting his future so prolly has a vision of the guy he wants leading the sideline. No need to drag it on get a future first and maybe a pick swap for this year.

That’s a bad deal. No way I give you two picks just to move up and take a bAd contract. 18 and faried would suffice.

Ptretty sure Minnesota can make that claim before butler injury they were third or fourth.

He’s a guy I would not be mad if we threw money at this summer, even in our current state. I think he’s a RFA but I’m not sure. However throw something at him it might stick.

That has to be a first keep the good luck baby 2021 nba champions baby

Yes yes yes yes.

That’s more so what I was getting at.

Please no more draft and stash that hasn’t exactly worked for us. They need to focus on guys that they feel can come in right now.

Funny thing is they prolly will I don’t think the wolves have beaten them this year I could be wrong though.

Him and stone should have been given a fair shake. If nothing else they would ensure we accomplish the goal that was set upon once other moves were executed. But hopefully Schlenk swings for the fences. A pg, sg or sf and a big.

That’s funny.

I’m in this mindset as well barring a fantastic SL run his time prolly should be coming to a close.

Thibs notoriously runs with his guys. Run em down. While I can’t say roses, deng, Noah all above average guys that he wrecked. Sad really.

Lmao.

They are approaching cap hell. Jokic will enter restricted free agency and if I got cash. I might shoot for the moon with him.

The only thing you are right on is that they will target some veterans. Who cares if is year 2 or five they are on a better path than that middle build crap. Currently 31-36 that’s a lot of hopelessness. They got money they will be fine as long as they don’t do something foolish. And technically this is only Magic’s 1st -2nd year at the helm can’t really throw that other mess on him as that was a totally different regime.

So by being a maxed out team how would you have improved. And if Wesley Johnson is our savior good lord. Deng was run down plus didn’t deng already forgo the hawks to go to Miami. The ferry comments didn’t come up till after. But my point stands you weren’t winning nothing with either one of those guys.

Lakers trajectory is ever so higher than ours whether they strike in free agency or not. Plus anybody would be lying if they said that there would not be a slump. Kobe was that franchise and with him getting his money and not being exactly a great teammate there was nobody to carry the torch when his body finally broke down. That said. They could be in the hunt next year if they sell off the assets the end collected. The Lakers were trying your middle build idea giving albatross contracts to guys like deng and mozgov hoping to compete. It back fired big time on them because of simply suck or age and injuries.

Well for one they went to those teams because they had money and picks to get better. Answer me this legimetly. The hawks won sixty games and didn’t get so much as a sniff from guys in FA. You are right that the Lakers couldn’t sign anybody but they tanked and anybody says otherwise is lying. They then shipped that talent to acquire guys like kuzma and Lopez for Russell. There problem is going to be patience it’ll prolly cost them chasing the big names when they should more so focus on internal growth from the guys they have and add in guys that more so fit that timeline. Only time will tell. Actually I’ll correct myself the Celtics didn’t have space this year they shipped out guys the acquired in trades to fit Hayward. Schlenk tried to do that but no by bit on bellineli, Dedmon or illysova.not that I could blame them.

Kyrie is obviously there star. But what did they accumulate to get kyrie. And better yet who is coming up big for them two lotto picks in Tatum and brown. Although not a lotto pick Rozier ( he was acquired in ther short tank season. Marcus smart a lotto pick as well.

For one you would have to have a star to attract something not over paid role players.

Lol at least you are consistent. But any ways guess who’s been come along granted he had a rough start to the season. That would be mr Jackson. I would take him now on the hawks over many of our g league additions and some of our vets. Wiggins and booker the previous administration would do back flips over if they were on the hawks. I’m not worried about either because they are young and have time to figure out the game. Kobe Bryant and others must have really been a buzzkill for you huh.

They have a system. It’s call accumulatingas much talent around booker. It wouldn’t surprise me if they are 10 games better next year when not actively tanking. Next you’ll go on about Jackson being a bust when the kid is really coming along this year.

Actually Phoenix would be ideal. Chandler while a shell of his former self would be a great defensive mentor for him. For some reason Len never looked like much At all of a future nba player but I contend he shouldn’t have been draft anyways especially as high as he went.

Despite the turmoil that is Arizona’s season kid has lead them to ship in dominat fashion might I add. He will be fine. Maybe the problem is taking suspect players like wings and pgs that offer no d.
