    Yesssss

    I'm not expecting that the supporters, ie in this board, will have that capacity but Rob is paid to do it. Let's see

    Yeah, that's my hope. Bring in some solid role players. If we can do that and maintain a pick, bring one back, or some kind of swap then I'm good with it at this point.

    Overall, I feel like even if we can't turn around this season we can at least lay the groundwork for a good team next year instead of having to again assemble a bunch of random guys and hoping they gel together in a couple of weeks.

    We should actively try to improve the team. Definitely the sooner the better, but if it comes late I think we should still pull the trigger for the reasons I've already mentioned.

    As for panicking, I still don't think making a deal is a panic move. It's a reality move based on what we have and what we need to build a fully functional team.

    Again, we've extended LeBron. Moves should be based on building a good team that we can tweak and add functionality to using minimums not using the minimums to completely build the roster.

    agree. you will not see me jump on the cap space bandwagon. if we end up not moving russ at all prior to next year, that's probably grounds for a house-cleaning. problem is tim harris and the rambii will always be there...ugh

    I find it sad and hilarious that this FO thought this team had a shot at a “chip”. The message should be just building something, playing to win each game, there is no chip in this roster’s future. But yeah that “No I in team” stuff is cheesy as hell.

    This is so incredibly corny… man early on I thought Rob was this suave guy, maybe a little eccentric but he had a mystique about him.

    But as time goes on, you realize he’s just Michael Scott failing upwards.

    This is the 2nd year in row where the theme and shirt has something to do with championship contention. this FO is so delusional. Maybe just be humble and I don’t know, just be a respectable and competitive team

    Rob talks out his a**.

    Just hoping there's a miracle coming soon to this roster.

    I suppose I credit everyone in the room for not letting out a chuckle.
