This is largely where I’m at with it. If a deal materializes then great but I’m expecting Russ to be here for the season. I also not so quietly...
Top 3 - 5 will take a lot of things to fall our way. I don’t agree that thinking the team will struggle is a slight to AD and LeBron....
It seems like everyone is putting their best foot forward and saying the right things. That’s good. The key to maintaining that IMO is having a...
Yeah. The better the team gels in the preseason the better off we will be. We immediately get tested with our early season schedule. we did...
I think optimism is fine. If a team like the Wolves, Mavs, or Grizzlies comes back to earth a bit and the current team plays really well then...
Yeah. This could get ugly real quick
Yeah. While I'm optimistic on the missing guys helping, I don't think expectations of their contributions should be too high. I think they will...
Yeah. I definitely agree that we can't continue just having 3 max guys and a constant switching of minimum guys every year. At some point, we...
I honestly don't think we are going to make a trade period. I think this is the team absent some kind of legit miracle.
If I had to call it now though, I don't think there will be a deal. I think that if we couldn't get one done in all this time, its unlikely one...
Well, I won't rehash all my rants, but I think he is as much to blame for the Russ trade as anyone else and that his overall moves have been a...
I think the short term harm of being in the running for the play in game again is being pushed aside too quickly. I think this will be a more...
Yeah. The issues with the current roster are valid and nothing I saw last night really changed my thoughts on the team. I liked that our stars...
Yeah, I like that his three point shot looked better but I don't want him taking a lot of those. Defense and rebounding looked good though....
I thought Russ played fine honestly. Best part was he able to finish at the basket. My concerns about shooting remain.
I liked what I saw especially given the lay off. I think he can contribute.
My positives watching last night were the effort and energy levels were much higher. I thought Russ looked pretty good. He, LeBron, and AD...
Yeah. Takes time to build chemistry.
Right. Why drop this on the day of the first preseason game when all of us are trying our best to put on purple and gold glasses and figure out...
This is a big year for him if he wants to change some of the narratives out there. Hoping for at least 65 to 70 games with strategic rests.
