I'll definitely agree it's been toxic on here at tines. Me included. This season has been rough. Hell, almost every season is rough. There's finally light at the end of the tunnel, though.
Thank you, I'm only trying to open eyes to the things that did move in a positive direction these past 6 years, wins and losses and fanfare aside.
The next GM has plenty to work with. I'm satisfied. Can't say this outgoing one enjoyed the same spot/handicap when he took over for Cho saddled with multiple negative/useless vet contracts (Marvin, Zeller, Batum, Howard, MKG). The only inherited draft pick still relevant is Monk, yet the fans here **** on him too. The Rozier/Kemba deal was thought to be desperation. We have potentially an unprotected 1st for his bum knee and didn't have to pay him all those millions to sit.
He will be one big move (plus maybe a few minor ones) away from a playoff spot if done right.
I am not even sure what you are worked up about at this point. 99% of fans were happy with trade deadline, 99% of posts have been positive over this winning streak. We are all over the moon about Miller. I have been 95% happy with Mitch drafting.
Mitch 100% deserves a lot of flack for having 7 guys on the roster for the last year that weren't NBA players. That is the biggest complaint on here about him and it's hard to defend it.
In general the NBA is setup for the bad team to improve, the best talent is ALMOST always picked at the top of the draft. I think overall Mitch has been fine, but ultimately you should be judged on wins and losses and not the mirage of what could be constantly.
That is part of the reason I think Presti is the most overrated Gm of all time.
