Well Cho has done a great job of building flexibility into our future. Keep sneezing at $38M in expirings with a solid core based on draft picks while still potentially taking us to back to back playoff appearances for the first time in franchise history.

Things could be a lot worse.

The last time I didn't sneeze and we had about 25mil in cap space I still got sick. That was this past offseason. It's gonna be a lot harder to get players in 2016 when the cap go up because every team should benefit from it.

Well Cho couldn't have predicted the injuries we've had. And that doesn't change the point that we're in a position to benefit from his solid contract decisions as far as not being locked long term into unfavorable deals.

I'm a homer but we don't really have a solid core. I'd say its in the bottom 10 of cores throughout the league. The Knicks, Nets, Sixers, Celtics and Lakers clearly have worse cores...I'd take Utah's over ours, probably take ours over Minnesota's. The Pistons and Pacers are a toss up. The rest beat us. I'd trade our whole team for Orlando's in a minute, as well as Sacramento, Pelicans, and even Milwaukee.

Injuries ain't no excuse for this poor start to the season. If anything injuries has been our blessing in disguise. Keep pouring the excuses tho if you want. I hope you're not content with this roster.
