To Blow it Up or Not?

Teague could be an additional expense though because of his own free agency. If best case scenario they retain Josh as well they would have entirely trumped the salaries they sent out and that's before they've even gotten to the point to extend Monroe.

True, but Teague might actually beat out Knight. A year from now Knight might be the third guard.

I think Teague's presence keeps Knight on his toes and after a year, Joe Dumars should have a clear picture of who is actually the better PG.

But your right, Teague would in fact be another expense if he is in fact resigned a year from now.

It is impossible to "blow it up" because Joe and Marvelous are not tradeable. We can only self-destruct by giving away Horford/Smith/Teague.

What good is it to give away the best players/talent we have, while keeping the problems?
Money? We'll still have Joe's contract.
Youth? We'll be trading our younger players and keeping our older.
To improve our attitude? Horford and Smith are our toughest, mentally.

Get a stinking Center.

Draft one. Draft a couple. Give Joe to CHI for backups and Asik - take CHI's trash to get Asik.

Get... a ... Center.

Agree with most of it. We would have to be smart in including a 3rd team so we can get as much as possible of Joe, including a high draft.

I vote to blow it up because I just don't want the reminder of these failures.

If we keep this team together there will always be a excuse our someone to play the blame with.

Teague will never be a pure PG so he will always be blamed for that.

Joe will never live up to that contract so he will always get blame for that.

Marvin will never be worthy of his draft position so he will always get blame for that.

Josh will always get called out on bad decisions because of all the previous experience he has with making them and people will always claim he needs to play SF when he gets abused at PF.

Al will never be Center enough so he will always need to get move to PF when things go wrong.

Zaza will always be nothing more than a backup when things go wrong.

LD and Sund will never be able to get us over the top when things go wrong because that will just always be the popular opinion due to these failures.

The ASG is another story we can't blow them up unfortunately.

At the end of the day in my opinion we have to blow this up in order to kill the excuses because just getting Steve Nash, Deron Williams, or Andre Miller and now saying look we have a true floor general is not going to be enough then you are going to go right back to making excuses and calling out the remaining players and putting it on them.

So, we blew it up. New GM. New Coach. 13 new players added to Horford and Teague. Are you, perhaps, satisfied?

And there I was, believing it was impossible to trade Joe and Marvelous.

Oh me of little faith.
