It is because we always got those stupid "culture" wins. We got 4th (AG) when we coulda had Embiid at 3. We got 5 (Mario) when we could have had KP at 4. We got 6 (Bamba) when we could have had Trae. Imagine if we actually tanked some of these years instead of going the stupid win just enough to look like we aren't tanking for culture BS.

VUC is probably sick of seeing Vuc as the primary option for 8 years...He'd be a great second but nobody's challenged him regardless of draft position. He's a good solid player. He's smart and versatile...not his fault the rest can't rise. :banghead: Keep blaming the consistent reliable guy for the lack of team progression.

He's doesn't have a career 539% ts for nothing. If he does well this year he might catch Mo.

Vuc is good. Few people debate that he isn't. He's not good enough to be getting this worked up over. It's not like a Dwight Howard situation where the player is so good that you cling on to them for dear life no matter what.

I agree...he probably would too. That’s my point...he should be the second option by now but he’s not. He’s “stuck” being our best player because the FO /Coaching/weak roster hasn’t been able to displace him...my whole point is how much he gets crapped on here when he’s the only guy on the roster who has performed consistently well for years. Blame the best player for team sucking. Blame the only consistent scorer on the team for bad offense.

Well if people blame him they really should be blaming ownership and the front office instead.
