Big loss of revenue for Ed
good news, we can get the #1 pick this way
Do we get Peterson or AJ in that scenario

This team was always mid coming into the season. Not great not tank-bad. When it got off to a hot start so many on the board was thinking "we're elite!" and I said no. We'll make playoffs but not elite. Young players aren't developing like we hoped which would bring us closer to the top in the East. That's not happened. So we mid. Not good not bad.

Worst spot to be in imo....We are basically banking on a franchise altering trade to come along at this point ....Which i don't think will happen....Id rather be the worst team in the league with the hopes of adding an elite player to the franchise via draft....than be a middle of the pack team praying something goes good for us in a trade or hope we beat the odds and draft a franchise player in the late teens/20s of the draft...
Either suck and tank, Already have a player on the team that actually looks like they can be a future face of the league (Vince Carter type when we drafted him), Or at the very least if you are going to put out a good team but not a full out championship team at least be one or two pieces away, Have young talent that look promising, Also put a team that mesh well together on the court (We The North Era)
But to just have a bunch of young guys who show zero promise, a few players up top who are talented but no where near good enough , And often injured or overpaid guys as starters....Such a **** show...

Like our young players have no skills they are good at lol

imagine how good this team would be if ingram and barnes were the 2nd and 3rd option respectively. i think as much as we talk about getting a bench big or jkw/dick/ochai that change in the starting lineup would be golden. most likely iq/barrett would be the chips on the move.
regarding the bench, i think shead/x/battle/cmb/mamu would be acceptable bench moving forward.
jkw, dick are more in the 10-12th guys and ochai is more 12-15th calibre. most likely dick and ochai are on the move. i think dick will be easier to trade; someone will be enamored of his skillset and the right team could probably make better use of his skillset.
x is the bench 2 guard we need to get. may even be better if we could get a veteran for that spot.
backup big as bad as we are should not really be a huge priority right now. i would even consider trading mamu as he most likely will opt out at the end of the year to get his bag. a playoff bound team would prob give up a frp for him.
He's a development coach that hasnt developed **** and he sucks as an in game coach on top of that. What exactly has he provided to this franchise?HumbleRen wrote:I’m not high on Darko either but I don’t think this is his fault. Bobby gave him a supremely flawed roster that isn’t built for the modern NBA.
Your 3 highest paid players put 0 pressure on the rim with a live dribble and nobody off your bench can shoot 3’s at a competent level. What can you do as a coach?
