In 2015 we had the same coach pg and c as well and we were a lot better. So by your logic it can only go worse?

We drafted a SG, signed a SG and then traded for a SG. SVG must have really hated KCP. :lol:

Galloway is probably best used as a backup PG. That's where he shined for the Knicks a while back.

Who does SVG like is the better question.

It all depends on Reggie, Dre, and guys like Stanley, Ellenson, and maybe Kennard.

Losing KCP, Morris, and Baynes is really the vast majority of our "toughness". Adding Bradley certainly negates some of that, but I would say it's an area of concern.

I wouldn't be that surprised if we were the 5th best team in the east or the 5th worst team in the league tbh.

I have a feeling that with more teams tanking, Bradley playing for a deal, and Reggie/Dre/SJ coming off awful years, players are going to work harder and we'll have a better year. We're definitely in the hunt for the 8th seed again.

That's uplifting.
