Yea I kind of expected this and in our situation there wasn't a whole lot that can be done but I guess I'd have preferred something in the FA world where you're at least taking a try/swing at something. Take the Coffey option, nail a move like that and it's a huge plus. If it flops, you're in the same spot.
IDK, let Nwora go and try on someone new. Who knows, maybe Ingles will be better than I expect and Nwora takes a leap. Just think we're paying Nwora 2 mil and Coffey got like 3.5.
I guess your underselling the costs of taking a swing. You don't just get a strike in our situation, it's probably an out/end of inning. To improve beyond what we did (hustle wing and a 3 point shooting vet), we probably have to trade midds, Jrue or Brolo. We showed the last two years we had enough talent to win it all and I think we are better next year.
probably different definitions. No, like I said I know we're limited and I wasn't talking about using the big guys. Just to me Ingles is a very low upside move and he's old, and it's one year. If he's back to his old self ok fine he should be able to play in the playoffs, but that's a big If and even still he's had issues on D holding him back in the playoffs. Hit on a young guy with some youth, upside, areas to improve and it could be a valuable piece for years. I guess, I'm just saying I'd rather having signed guys like how we did with Bobby/Pat. Younger, can still improve. If they do, you're getting a steal. Rather that route than hoping a 35 yr old isn't washed.
Of course it can fail too on those moves, like Semi, etc. But I'd have rather taken a swing at it. Or like I said with Nwora, do we really think he's ever gonna be able to play in the playoffs? Take that roster spot and try someone else and see if you can get a steal. Essentially you can't hit on a young upside player gotten for cheap if you don't try, and I know it's impossible to shoot 100% on them
ETA: also I guess something with Hills contract in a trade to take a swing at someone else
