People are taking a dump on front office for not trading him, noone is really blaming him. He did as much as he could, time to retire.

Is it possible for us to get Dinwiddie? He has to pass the waiver wire, right? Someone below us may pick him up. Plus we do not have a roster spot

I tried to tell you they were taking two paths concurrently and neither path would get a justified amount of love.

Finishing slightly over .500 and not having a clue whether or not Black or Howard are appropriately prepared to step into significant roles next year is not the way.

Yet here we are.

It's just lazy BS right here.

They could’ve phoned in a trade for a guy at the 15th roster spot and at least it would look like you’re trying.

The key to skating by at work doing minimal effort is to occasionally look lively.


I expected Gary Harris trade for pick that has like 1% chance of converting in second round. But nop. Even that was too hard.

Well trade deadline passed FO didn't do anything, now Mose, ball is on your court. 1st give Black Cole's minutes, 2nd since Fultz won't shoot 3's, start Black with the starting unit and close the game with whomever is playing better or our death lineup.

It's not just that. They are in "competition" for playin against literally nobody. All it takes to get there is to "outplay" 5 teams that are not even trying to be competitive ( given Nets just tapped out as last "competition" )

And people pretend that playin is some massive achivment to reach. All it takes is to be 5th worst.

If they actually cared about Fultz as a person, they would’ve put him out to pasture in his hometown of Washington, DC.

I’m as disappointed as anyone here we didn’t make a move. Unfortunately this front office sat on their hands when we desperately needed a shooter and rebounder to right this ship. As far as I’m concerned, because Weltman brought it Paolo, Franz and Suggs, we have a core. But this team is not built yet and those 3 guys have bought Weltman this summer to fix this crappy guard rotation. If he doesn’t, this time next year he absolutely needs to be fired.
You look confused...let me fill you in.

Meh, at this point I'm not a guy that's hoping for a trade just for the sake of making a trade. This FO's passivity/laxness/flaccidness/ in regards to helping this team get better is maddening, though. It's gone on so long that I think we can also start blaming ownership for not giving a f***.

I'm not gonna completely lose my mind, but this offseason, I want some big moves to move the team forward (before our cap space dries up to the Franz/Paolo extensions), or else some firings are definitely in order as far as I'm concerned.

As I have said for years. A ton of these front office personal get highly over rated in the jobs they do any carryout. I'm telling you right now a gokd chuck of us could do a lot of the jobs they do in the front office. Or atleast make the right decision to improve this team.

Weltman: he has been injured so it's like we made a trade for him
