Consistent message since like 2012 sadly, but couldn't agree more

I love how the retort is always something about losing out on defense if we get shooters… somehow OKC, Cavs, and Celtics cracked that code…


They're all contenders.. we will get there lol. Just the trades here are often bad :lol:

Yeah, there have been some really bad ideas that we don’t need to rehash but we need to start getting the pieces together sooner rather than later. I’ve been beating the drum on having 4 picks this summer. Ain’t no way we bringing in more than 1 rookie… so why not use the other 3 picks plus more to get us a REAL difference maker? I understand being patient and Imnot saying we need to make a trade this week but I hope we don’t let the picks lose value (or trade them for future picks that end up being worse like when we traded a pick in the low 30’s for a pick that will assuredly be much worse). It takes two to tango of course and our core is young but you never know how long your window will be open. The more help we can get the core, the better so that they can learn from deeper playoff runs. What I don’t want to see is a situation where we can’t get deep into the playoffs year after year while being capped out and wasting draft picks on players that can’t get any burn.

Jett with some nice moves other than dribbling off his foot at half court. He’s doing some shifty work against Naz.

Some positive signs from Jett. That’s the playmaking the FO was banking on when they drafted him.

I feel bad for ANT... This team can't generate any offense.

Imagine if he could shoot 40% instead of his current 30.6% rate? He’s not on the court for his defense…

I hope Black can play through the back pain.
