Connelly is going to have to earn his pay checks this summer. Figure out what to do with Randle, Naz, NAW, and KD. After that, find the coach that is best fit for this group.

I don’t think they’re unprepared, just don’t feel like being there. I don’t think there’s anything Finch could’ve said to them to change it honestly.

This has been a massacre but from a basketball standpoint, this is just a phenomenal display by OKC. It's like watching Goku go Super Saiyan for the first time.

NAZ regressed a bit b/c of the bad fit with Julius.

He was forced to play out of position.

We need a backup c. It was needed BAD since the beginning of the year.

Naz is very versatile as long as he is not FORCED TO PLAY C, which he was w Julius.

Jaden as pf, and Naz sf as they both develop their games is ideal.....

The iconic aspect of NAZ Reid, while FUN, within the fanbase, .. doesn't really matter. Performance is most important.

Hard to give up on NAZ, particularly considering we can sign him on a long-term deal that MAY not look that great initially, but. A LA Jaden, will be a steal in a couple of years.

At the end of the day, particularly considering lack of teams being able to find cap space, I vote for re-signing NAZ to as long of a deal as possible.

Keeping it real, Naz's horrible defense is the main reason why I am comfortable with letting him walk.

Not as bad when he's a pf.

I think it is arguably worse, the dude has cement feet when defending the perimeter. He gets beat off the dribble on every single possession that he guards out there.

Bench Randle. Hes playing lazy as ****.

Guest84 · Post #69 » by **Guest84** » Thu May 29, 2025 1:30 am

Randle is giving up on every single play. Not running back on defense at all. I wouldn’t play him at all the rest of the game honestly. But we know that won’t happen.

I didn't even last through the first quarter. Sorry guys.

Finch has to go, wolves will not win anything meaningful under him. No other teams fan bases want Finch as their head coach, he’s mid. Two west finals but his coaching had nothing to do with it, and he was badly outcoached both times in the finals, really badly!

sign and trade Naz, should have traded him at trade deadline or this past off season when his value was at all time high, oh well.

Might as well put Rob and Clark in too.

Rudy hands really suck

moss_is_1 · Post #74 » by **moss_is_1** » Thu May 29, 2025 1:38 am

Idk why Rudy doesn't grab the ball. They're swarming him and he's tipping it around or letting it bounce in front of him.

We gave up. Pathetic effort.
