    tell me does getting PG next year beat GSW? Does adding Lebron next year beat GSW? If answer is NO, then maybe we shouldn't make those moves either since we CAN'T beat GSW then either :SadPau2:

    This isn't about doing nothing for fear of the Warriors. This is about being smart and playing the long game.

    Gets us a hell of a lot closer than anything we could do this offseason, and if puts us into position to be good when the Warriors start to break up. I'm not saying don't make moves, I'm saying don't brake stupid moves, that's what landed us MozDeng.

    might as well just get it over with and just hand over the chip to GSW for next 3 yrs and we'll just sit back and wait for 2 said MAX FA

    I know you want to win but it's really not a reality at this point. Sorry man. I'm crossing my fingers for the 8th seed!

    this team would be lucky to not be a bottom 5 team again.

    I've yet to see you lay out your plan to make us good next season by making moves right now like these other teams. "Stop thinking we'll be good with rookies and 2nd year players" isn't an answer, it's deflection because you're angry we aren't good, you act like you'd be a better GM than our current one, yet you don't actually know how to fix it. What's your actual plan of attack, laid out with names, trades, signings, etc? I'd love to see it.

    dont matter what I suggest, everyone here has bought 2018 2 MAX FA plan hook line and sinker. Anyone suggest any FA signing this yr and the rebutal will always a regurgated "18' plan". Dumping Lopez on a team like Atl would be easy enough to free up the cap to sign a MAX lvl FA, you'd have to deal with deng situation next yr for PG but beats the hell out of whats bout to happen.

    What is about to happen? I see this team winning 35-40 games. Maybe a couple of good 1 yr deals for maybe a Tony Allen or Vince Carter and we fight for an 8th seed

    You gotta give me odds buddy. Most people are expecting 30 games tops

    If you do 3-1 odds I'll take that bet

    What max level free agent from this group should we sign? I asked you for your plan and you haven't given me ONE name.

    I already suggested Hayward before but apparently I guess he's not better than the imaginary James signing coming up in 18'...before you give me the "we suck" excuse to entice him, he's meeting Mia, they dont suck like we do but they're not exactly great either. Blake is meeting with Pho and so is Milsap, I guess Pho is stupid too for trying to stop sucking even though neither one of those 2 addition is going to be enough for Pho to be GSW either.

    LeBron coming isn't imaginary it's a very real possibility that a number of reliable sources have already corroborated.

    Hayward has shown no interest in L.A. and it makes no sense to sacrifice the ability to add two much, much better players next summer in George and James.

    Cool you can hold me to it. If you want to put a wager I'm down as long as i get good odds.
