All of a sudden we've turned it around.


I'm kind of hoping we can grab another established young player with some of those picks. No idea who tho.

Keldon?

We do have an upcoming payment to the Spurs for the Kawhi loan, though I think this is the final payment...

100%. This season really means nothing. Let's just see some of our now young prospects deliver and have fun with the assets.


Yup no expectations. Just build chemistry with these 3 and good habits. Hopefully those 3 picks add some good role players.

No way. I think this team can make a meaningful run still.

If the team starts winning how do you call it fumbling?


It's called luck.


It's actually called "fake wins". Get with the times.

Exactly, they represent about 2/3rds of the defensive specialists on this team (along with Scottie), and Poetl unlocks the offence.

How do you not call the things they've done outside OG trade since last season's deadline fumbling? What else do you call it? F'ing up?

If they start winning, I'll gladly cheer on since I've been here long before Masai Ujiri and will be here long after. But fact remains that we did not add one good piece in Siakam trade.

Win-win for me whether we tank or make the play-in. Move the spurs pick now and shows the core is actually good. Tank and hey at least we keep our pick. Really have no complaints the rest of the way.

Just getting Scottie off of the point of attack should help him.

Swap GTJ and Brown IMO

Honestly, I’d be fine starting IQ/GTJ/RJ/Scottie/Porter and having Dennis/Brown/Poeltl be a monster bench

What long term piece are you referring to exactly?

All reports are stating that Indiana was not offering any of their young players. Ergo - what mystical trade are you talking about?

Dumb ass fans thinking they know more than scouts and experts. This is why there are flat earthers thinking they know more than the smartest people alive (and throughout history) based on youtube "resurch".

Opinions do not hold the same currency as facts.
