I disagree with this.  First, there isn't a player worth it this year.  Second, the player pool that is available will likely only provide someone that will play most of the season in College Park and maybe give some spot minutes at the end of the season.

Well yes, thats the risk every year. Not to mention we don't need another year of ownership getting playoff revenue. This is why the league is in the position it is in with the lack of trades and being harder to build rosters out.  Many GM and NBA execs have talked about this, teams are less willing to deal at the trade deadline since the playin.  They also get that boost of revenue that aligns with acting like they are doing it for the fans to have that "chance".   You guys want Tony to take making moves more seriously? Then take that shit away from him, let him know he's moving backwards and can't even get to the playin because of the decisions they have made.

You are basically advocating for what the Mavericks did last year, is that right?

I wish I could disagree with a lot of what you have laid out.

Let me ask again....Is Kai Jones head on straight? I would sign him to replace OO.

We need a big man much more than another guard.

Not sure what they did I don't keep up with them.  I'm just saying the climate is a bit different than it used to be, this has been shown numerous times at this point and is front of mine for most front offices, but we have lots of ppl still in this board saying just go out and get these guys , saw one the other day oh hey kat ain't shit we don't need him there so many fish in the sea. No there isn't that is apart of the problem.

They went from in the playoffs to out of the playoffs to get a lottery pick.  Sat Luka, etc.  It ended up netting them Derek Lively who is probably their third most important player on the roster going forward.

If they didn't, Knicks would have gotten their pick. Keeping their pick got them Lively.
