Harsh. I said it crossed mine mind.
Two old guys for 3 years refusing to do major moves, at job that is probably their last job in their careers.
They refuse to do anything major, that's factual.
Hennigan's last day at a job had this roster:
Vuc, Gordon,Evan, Ross, DJ Augustin
Magic best 5 players, two years later, under new front office is: Vuc, Gordon, Ross,Evan, Dj Augustin.
They lierally only added Isaac as somebody who has any on court value ( and even he is nothing more but limited role player).
Others? Bunch of draft picks that can't or don't play.
Biggest credit i can give to them is Steve Clifford.
One of the angriest and least logical piece you ever wrote pepe :p Of all people i wouldnt expect it from you. Weltman wants to stale and retire and thats why he makes risky huge upside decisions ?
If what you wrote was true he wouldnt draft and force played Bamba last year and he would draft someone like NAW, Clarke this year. It would gave him better chance to make plays every year until Vucevic declains.
He made small changes in the S5 ? He maximised the human potential he inherited. Should he make changes for the worse ?
What we do behind our veteran core ? We develop Fultz, Frazier, Okeke, Isaac, Bamba hmm could it be large core of the future ? Is rehabing and developing so much youth easier or harder than signing veterans ?
Is changing much part of the organization personel easier or harder than retaining everybody ?
If we dont resign Vuc and Ross, next draft suppose to have bunch of creators, not bad timing.
Weltman brought huge weight on his shoulders and i support him.
I don't find it harsh. I was semi - joking , but as i said, i would lie if i didn't thought about it more than once.
I find people as super selfish creatures, i think that people do stuff to benefit them subconsciously, and on their path find a ways how to justfy that actions.
Getting youth that can't play due injuries is stailing process because it's buying time. " See, he is injuried, oh well, we will have to wait".
And keeping same vets around singlas lack of guts to do gusty moves that could backfire and lead to departure.
If i'm GM and i just enjoy money with no moves ,i would do what they do. Draft injuried players and prospects , trade for injuried players, trade away second round picks and never do jack s*** about roster that actually plays night in and night out.
I know that i'm more negative person in general, not just basketball related,but i will not be suprised, and i actually think it will happen- in moment they step down, team will be in idential spot where they were when they took over. Needing another rebuild without any playoff sucess ( other than apperance ) with them, without any star to show for.
Do i think they have "masterplan" how to steal money from stupid franchise? No. I think they know they are doing their last NBA gigs so they take their sweet time while not being in rush to retire.
