Low interest? First page real estate cheap. No mod even bothers to pin the GT

It's been a while since we had a season where we just want it to end. At least we've moved on from our veterans and have a new direction, but it doesn't make watching this product any less painful.

They're still in the process of clearing the roster. Lineup should be more entertaining next season. This was always going to be the unpleasant phase. By various posts, you can tell who's seen the normal ups and downs in team sports.

It's not even on TSN for Jack to sing an Irish song.

We lose, but that's ok. On another note, Nurse can't win without top notch talent. Siakam can't translate to more wins for a decent team. FVV can't lift mediocrity and OG and Precious are showing how much easier it can be when you do have top notch talent around you making things happen (Brunson). Let's go to the draft with bad intentions about snatching something with potential. If we can hit on 3 picks that's the beginning a future package to get something nice. Also, tanking heavily next year would be fine. I give it two years before we see meaningful improvements.

Hope to see a nice bounce back game from Gradey.

Still saddened by this news. Hope RJ is alright.

The question is, what kind of moves will be made during the off season. We don't have a whole lot of assets, or picks to work with, so I'm not sure how different the team can look next Oct. Most/all our valuable and trade worthy assets have already been moved.

Won't be easy that's for sure but a team with 1 or 2 more upside players will make the games more appealing to watch (at least for me).

An off-season of development from Scottie, RJ, and IQ, plus our draft picks from this year (hopefully we don't convey) is all we need. I see this roster competing for a play-in spot next season.

If we had a full healthy roster right now I'd be a bit more excited. I'm hoping Gradey continues to develop but none of the other recent signings or acquisitions give us too much to be excited about.

Games will be much easier to watch just getting Barnes and Poeltl back.

The greatest asset we have that we’d likely be willing to use over the next season or two is spending power to the tax. This is partially why Bruce Brown wasn’t traded in my opinion. Since no one wanted to meet the price they sent in draft compensation, he is probably going to be used to take on extra and longer term salary. Like Michael Porter Jr or Jaden McDaniels. A few expensive teams that disappoint in the playoffs will want to cut salary or rework their spending long term to avoid the 2nd apron. For Jaden, it would obviously take more to make happen.

I sincerely hope not. Man, what a half assed rebuild that would be. We'd be right back where we are now in another 5-7 years

Yeah, if we’re trying to get back to contender status, much more needs to be done.
