Re: Cliff would get home court advantage in the playoffs with this roster.
I like Clifford a lot, but come on, there is no coach that could have gotten our current roster in the Top 4 this year. That would require about 50 wins which is absurd with how young our team is and the offensive limitations.

Cliff would've never given Franz a chance last year and we would have missed out on getting the #1 pick.

Their best defensive player by a wide margin is a rookie (Williams) and he averages 17 minutes per game.
No thanks.
I honestly don't see their talent as any way comparable to ours since Lamelo Ball barely plays.
If Ball is out, our talent is head and shoulders above theirs.
You guys are nuts if you think Rozier, PJ Washington, Oubre or Hayward are comparable to our Jumbol guys. Rozier scores 23 ppg but he shoots 41% overall and 33% from 3. He is not a main offensive option in the NBA. Hayward is over the hill.
I find it sad that you can't see that our young guys need a coach to teach them better defense since we gave 129 points last night to Utah or whatever it was and 70 points in a half to the Bucks without Giannis or Holiday.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

I think that term needs to be retired now that Bol has returned to his proper position of one foot out of the league and Isaac also off the floor.

Maybe next year Clifford would, and maybe Mosley will too. But nobody is getting to the 4th seed when this teams starts 5-20 because there were no guards available early on. This season was lost by the start of December, and nobody, not Popovich or Phil Jackson, could have dug out of that hole to get home court advantage in the playoffs.

Not with the guards injured like they were first few months.
