First road game.
Butler vs Lillard.

The Haslem Retirement tour continues.

I'm in but i'm not happy about it

Dont leave any of them open or they will drain threes. Except for Winslow, that is fine.

It's Adidas day!

Contract is that gif like 500 mb? Wtf dude

I really wanted us to get J.Grant. Oh well. Blazers got him for cheap.

As it is, we're not talented enough to consider ourselves contenders.

Jimmy is a stud,
Bam is good, not great,
Herro is good, not great.

Everyone else, including our 30Mil PG - are role players. And some aren't even good role players.

You can't win big in this league with such a limited supply of top end talent. No matter how well we're maximizing fringe players or developing limited players.

We need bam and Herro to get to the next XP level. Jimmy's waiting.

We take our **** show of a team into undefeated Portland and Golden State. We have to rely on Lowry and Herro to guard Dame, Simons, Curry, Klay, and Poole. What could go wrong? Although I’m sure majority of those duties will fall on our center who should be focusing on other things but due to horrible roster construction and massively flawed players he’s expected to do everything on both ends of the court this year.

We’ll see how this trip goes but Im thinking there’s going to need to be some dialogue soon on how Riley isn’t suited for his job any more. This is years worth of not maximizing this unit now and we seem to be too stuck in our ways.

We're basically waiting for the core (Jimmy, Kyle) to age out so we can start again with capspace and some youthfulness (emphasis on some, truly young teams don't win chit)

we're beyond small, quick fixes to the core, and the only means for radical change now is time.

We have 3 positive impact players as of right now, Bam Jimmy and Caleb in that order. Duncan is basically neutral then it’s all negative, That needs to change.

Over Under on Lillard 40pt game??? I am taking the over on this one, knowing full well that he will be covered by Lowry, Vincent, Herro for most of the game.

Just when you thought the stench of harlem boy was gone he returns with a vengeance

At least we get Martin back but we need Yurt to get healthy

Lowry and Duncan moves really killing us.

We have 2 players making starters money and playing like deep bench players.

Replace Duncan with Jeremy Grant (as a PF) and Lowry with D.Fox (if we traded for him instead) and we'd be looking completely different.

I’m glad someone else pointed this out before me because I had been thinking the same thing

He wasn’t banned though was he?

We had a John Collins deal on the table last summer and we could’ve had Kyrie for Lowry and 1st.

Kyrie
Herro
Jimmy
Collins
Bam

How different would the outlook on this team be right now?

Bam will practically be running suicides on defense, run out to the perimeter to guard dame, then back to the paint for Nurkic, back out to simons, to the wing to grant, back to Nurkic in the paint. God bless his soul
