    The problem was continuity, as was the previous 5 years. If you overhaul the roster every year then you'll get this cluster f***. We could have retained Lopez Bryant and Zu at least for this year but for some reason that was too hard for dumb guys like Magic and Rob who have no experience in building teams.

    The correct plan in hindsight

    Lopez Zubac Bryant
    Randle Kuzma Mo
    LBJ Svi Brewer ?
    BI Hart Bongga
    Zo Rondo ?

    Continuity. Unlike this dumpster fire

    Lopez/Zu
    Randle/TB
    LBJ/Kuz
    BI/KCP (KCP probably stays regardless)
    Zo/Hart

    Probably does more damage than what we do now. But hey ho.

    Should have kept Lopez and traded for George. Oh well.

    I bet we keep that team with better cohesion this season and Randle, Zo, Kuzma might have interested Pelicants a little more or traded for another star but regardless if no traade that team still kills it with better bench as well

    well if we had brought back Randle there's no 12mill for KCPOOP which would still be a blessing as we wouldn't have to deal with underachieving, no iq, no d playing a** whipe

    All aboard...my bad in ever doubting you LVBD.



    What a crazy year. Bubble wrap Bron, Kuz, BI, Zo and Hart. This year a playoff bid sneaking in as a low seed to challenge the dubs in the 1st round would have been a feel good story...we never really had legit title aspirations. Protect our assets, collect a few more and lets hit this summer with purpose.

    I like that last part, Vash - let’s hit this summer with purpose. That’s what still keeps me hopeful.

    We can realistically get to the 8th pick if we continue losing...got Denver, Boston, @Toronto, @milwaukee all coming up...should be 4 more losses right there.

    Dallas has 36 lossses and we have 34...shoot Washington has 37 losses...we could even go as high as 7th in that case. We'd have a 32% chance of landing in the top 4 at that point and 7.5% chance of landing the top pick...definitely need to lose these games.

    If we lose 3 more games and compete with Wash (oh the irony) for that 7-8th worst spot -> Potential to get a top 4 pick: 32%

    When do we start to look at our training staff. Seems to me like the injury bug has hit us year after year lately. Why not go over and pay the guys at Phoenix double? They resurrected Shaq, Grant Hill, and practically kept Nash alive for years. I doubt Sarver's cheap a** matches that. But instead we go over and hire the Kardashian's trainer? b*******.

    Strong Top 3 (Zion, Barrett, Morant). Pretty steep falloff after that IMO.
