Ofc we can compete with Pistons but that is nothing to brag about....Can we compete with the Hawks/Magic/Knicks/Cavs is the real question...Even the Bucks/76ers might be better if health is on their side.

If our goal is to make the playoffs, then yes we need to make sure we can compete with mid teams like the Pistons.

Whoa Pistons took a step back


Lavert and Robinson > than THJ and Beasley. Plus they have 4 lottery picks excluding Cade under 23. Even if none of their young guys get better they they’re a hold for now. I think last year was a bit of luck and over performing expectations but also only played 30 games.

We would have to be a high seed to match up with the Pistons though....More likely we are playing one of the Cavs/Knicks/Hawks/Magic first round....So if we can't compete with them teams than we are a first round exit.

Paying Thibs 30M to go away, just so you can bring in an inferior coach. I guess the Brunsons signed off on this.

That's not a bad idea. He is extension eligible as of today right?

Correct.

Realistically, most of the 2022 rookie class will take some time to get extensions worked out - even guys like Chet and Paolo whose extension $ is very clear.

So Timelord or the Suns reject

Lakers are so cooked for the foreseeable future and I would love to see Luka leave them (Washington has cap space)
