WMC 24-25: What To WMC About Now? PLAYOFF TIME!

The last sentence is what drives me nuts about our front office. We constantly bring in guys for a season or less and then lose them for nothing.

 

It's like all my concerns about this approach are playing out in front of us.

We now pretty much have to get Kessler or someone to make this all okay.

 

Gotta let it play out. My guess is with the Lakers not making moves yet, they're just waiting on confirmation from Duren and Walker with Walker being their first option. I think Pistons are going to match or else they lose their "robin" to Cunningham. Utah can afford to lose Walker so it might not be as high up there for him.

My only gripe is this better not be a situation of the Lakers not being able to fill out the roster with good valued players when guys like you mentioned: Goodwin, Tim Hardaway Jr., Ellis, and maybe Smart are getting signed to very low contracts. Goodwin+Ellis at $15 million total is a steal. If you're going to let Smart walk, that's a type of move that they can justify.

 

I'm hoping for Kessler, John Collins, Sandro, and Grimes. Find some trade for Ayton + Vando with a first round pick for another rotation player. Re-sign Smart.
