Please allow some time to actually form your opinions man. There was a thread on here during preseason that said "We Are DEEP!!" And we all know how foolish that was lol.

Your jets need cooling.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I think we just need to look at the 2nd unit of our championship team to get some perspective.

PG - FVV
SG - Norm
SF - Patrick McCaw (he didn't have to play much)
PF - OG
C - Serge

I need a time for an opinion?:) Here?
You're kidding, right?:)
At least on a forum we can express our feelings, and to change the opinion multiple times for a single day!

Feel free... I wasn't saying you shouldn't have an opinion, just that you're probably going to look foolish in a few weeks. This is a bottom 6 team in the nba, there isn't much you should like about the current roster, let alone all 10 players you just named lol.

It'll be serviceable once the 905 season's done.

Chill man!:) Of course I haven't formed an opinion after just one or two games played... It's just a matter of a moment of satisfaction and an excitement with the game of the young players who have been in the shadows so far.

Still need to see some more of JFL. I think he can be a very solid role player for us.


PG: Barnes/JFL
SG: Quickley/Dick
SF: Barrett/Nwora

We have to round out our frontcourt. Prioritize it and address it via free agency and the draft.

I watched Kira Lewis and he's a SG in a PG body that wasn't even good in the 905 game I watched. JFL looks like he'd be the 3rd PG for sure. :nod:

There's 2 guys there that are rotation guys for next year. Hopefully Dick makes it 3. I still think they look to move Brown if they can also unload Boucher. Although there isn't much there for free agents.

They have a lot of flexibility. I don't think they blow it up. You can have that bench plus Trent and look to upgrade 1 spot in the starting lineup with our picks.

That team would fight for a playin spot. Especially if one of BBQ make a jump.

The nice part is we have 3-4 picks this year we are gonna use to add either through trade or making selections.

We could come into 2024 with actually some real depth or promising players on the come up
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Make no mistake:

This is currently one of, if not the worst, teams in the league…and it’s by design

I’d like some picks or young prospects in Denis and Brown’s place instead.

Lol a bunch of those guys will be out the door in a few days. But Nwora looks like he could be a bench option like he was for Indiana last year, Porter is a fine bench big and Gradey is already holding his own there.

Bench level point guards arent exactly a rare commodity if they deal Dennis.

With the draft picks and cap space available, they should be able to upgrade the talent level next season considering they're allocating all this money to Gary, Chris, Otto and Thad that could be much better spent.
