What direction should the team go for the rest of the season?

At some point we have to acknowledge that this has not been a good season for us. Whether scheduling, injuries or bad coaching is to blame -- we're a sub .500 team 30 games into the season.

• Should we simply ride out with what we have for the rest of the year?
• Should we be aggressive and make a Braves like series of trades to capitalize on the uncertainty of the season?
• Should we make a few moves for the future and embrace a top draft pick in a deep draft?

I'm curious where the fanbase stands at this point. I don't think anyone will be satisfied with making the playoffs as a low seed and losing in the first round, or even worse...the play-in games.

I see no need to blow it up now. As everyone expected, there have been a lot of injuries and now losing everyone to covid. Once we get everyone back together again we should be fine. But to see us come up with a win like that using basically only our B and C teams plus a few 10 dayers is huge. Just would liked to have seen Cooper get a chance to prove himself

Get healthy. Win as many games as possible and get ready for a playoff run. If a consolidation trade comes up that is a win for the home team. Take it.

Including tanking in the poll is a stretch

For now we can just enjoy watching a Cat Barber play...what ever that is...oh brother

Things seem to be unraveling rather quickly…

At the time it really shouldn't have been an option. This team has clearly lost it. I put the blame squarely on the guy that I was so mad at about a year ago for tuning down a very generous contract offer. He got more, but clearly isn't worth it. Worst thing is that he thinks that he's the alpha on the team and whines and cries when he isn't treated that way.

Guy just wants to be fed because he can't do anything on his own. With out Capela back there to nail down the paint his bad D is so exposed.

You guys all know how I'm talking about

I saw this coming a mile away, but I guess being a 20/10 big by default meant more than how impactful his 20/10 was in reality.

Aggressively remaking the roster with more emphasis on next year is probably the best option. That requires another team offering us pieces to work with though for the guys we would be shipping out. I'm sure there's some creative ways to doing it, but I mean Ben Simmons makes the most sense, and I think Philly isn't too interested in Collins or if Collins could be sent elsewhere for a package worthy of moving Ben.

I'm going Coaching.
I don't like his rotations, he doesn't coach instinctively. It's about time on clock and rest vs game circumstance.
Change the offense. I don't like Nate's offense. We lack tempo and pace, we play against teams set defense too many times, no easy baskets. He has an equal opportunity offense and to Gallo's point, there is no hierarchy of who gets shots this year compared to last season. No variety or imagination so teams can put the clamps on in the 4th. Bring back LP's offense but with Nate coaching. Unfortunately, Nate brought in his own staff and they suck.

We spend too much time of a shot clock trying to get a mismatch instead of running a real offensive set with ball and player movement - this is a Nate type offense.

I'm in favor of tanking this season. Last season was totally different and I enjoyed it, but we've hit a threshold. Once all healthy, I know this team will win enough for the play in game which isn't worth while for Schlenk I'd hope.

The team needs a 7 footer that can ideally play both 4/5. Gotta find a suitable pg. Gotta upgrade from Bogi or Huerter. Those two are just so redundant from one another. Lastly you need another long defender to replace Cam. Too many pieces that one deadline can't supplement.

So at what point do we get to really discuss this?

And which is worse:

• playing our butts off just to lose in the 1st round of the playoffs?
• or missing the playoffs altogether?

Once you're in, you're in. If you believe you can win it all, at some point you would have to play the 1 or 2 seed. So whether that's the first round or ECF, it will have to happen. Question is, are we really good enough to survive the play in stage? Other than being overly optimistic you can, I don't think we are. Sure we might can win the play in games, but i'm not overly confident we could.

This question really depends on how strong you believe this team can be once the playoffs roll around. Just to be overly optimistic, I say go for it and see where it lands us. Picking at 12*14 isn't much different from picking 16-18, unless there's some late lotto talent you believe can make an impact.

Losing in the 1st round as a #8 seed would clearly be a disappointment for everyone in the organization with no tangible benefit.


But gaining a top-8 pick in the draft could be a valuable asset to use in trade for that second star player we've been seeking.

The Hawks have been brutal to watch of late.

Why were we so adamant on running this team back again?

I don't take our roster as serious as some. I'm hoping we eventually find a star talent to play with Trae. This will take time to do.
For the remainder of the season I hope we can have success during the second half but I don't have much hope it will happen.
