The point is it’s dumb to commit to this “core” when they quite clearly stack up against the best.

Except you fail to realize that things change.

In our championship year...we added 3 new starters from the summer onward. This isn't close to be the final product of a good Raps team.

You are just pissed off they are winning games and hurting your tank dreams.
Tank dreams? Ok great way to polarize and not admit we want this team to be better than the mediocre pile Masai likes build around. It happened once with the PS FVV OG pile, and it's going to happen again

To declare this current team mediocre without factoring in that the core needs to gel when healthy and we have **** ton of young guys who are still developing...that's just short-sighted. We just don't know what they are yet.

They simply aren’t & won’t be close to BOS, OKC or even ORL, CLE. To say otherwise is pure homer level delusion.

Lol...did he say that?

No

Nobody is committing to this core. WTF are you talking about?

Barnes needs to start sitting on Zion’s left hand.

I never want to hear about Gradey being soft after that. Dude tried taking a charge on Zion. Soft people don't do that.

Murphy is probably their best asset. Just 24, on a bargain contract, great size, high volume 3 point shooter that can defend and still improving offensively

What’s more ridiculous is posters like you really believe that we’re somehow gonna have another complete MIRACLE trade for a player like Kawhi who was in argument for the best player in the league, like we’re just destined to win the biggest trade in the league and no other team will outbid us. When it’s literally impossible that we’ll be able to execute a trade anywhere near the highway robbery that was lol

Yesterday’s price is NOT today’s price lol that’s the delusion you haven’t realized yet.

You’re not getting players like Kawhi, Danny, Gasol & Ibaka while still keeping all of Lowry, Pascal, Fred, OG etc. Packages for good players now require MULTIPLE picks and good depth. It’s hilarious some of you are so jaded that you actually think that’s still viable route.

Don't look now but Gradey is on pace for his first career double double with 16/10. Just made that up but he definitely doesn't have a career double double right? Lol
